Community Connect
Community Connect is a monthly outreach initiative that invites our congregation to focus on one local need at a time, building meaningful partnerships and responding in tangible ways.
Each month, we partner with a local organization already doing vital work in our community. Together, we support their mission through prayer, financial gifts, donated items, and opportunities to serve.
By focusing on one issue each month, Community Connect helps us live our faith beyond our walls; with intention, compassion, and lasting impact.
March - Iskashitaa
This March, Community Connect focuses on Iskashitaa, a grassroots organization dedicated to helping refugees rebuild their lives through meaningful partnerships with volunteers and local groups across Tucson. Through hands-on programs that foster community building, cultural sharing, and English language practice, Iskashitaa creates spaces of connection, empowerment, and belonging; walking alongside newcomers as they establish roots, form friendships, and find their place in a new home.
As part of this month’s focus, we invite our community to learn more about Iskashitaa’s work and explore meaningful ways to offer support. This partnership is an opportunity to continue living out our shared call to compassion, presence, and responsibility to one another.
