Quilting Ministry Do you like to quilt or would you like to learn how? The SFBC quilters meet first and third Thursday of each month from 9:00 am to noon in the Mesquite Fellowship Room in the Educational Building. They use one pattern but each quilt sewn has a completely different look because of the fabric they use. Quilts are donated to various groups and also given to church family members when one is sick or hospitalized. All you need to participate is your own sewing machine. Current quilters will be happy to show you how to quilt if you would like to learn. Stop in to get acquainted. Quilters are church members and non-members. For additional information contact Noreen in the church office, 480-983-9025.

Do you have a friendly smile and a hearty handshake or hug? We can always use additional friendly people in the ministry of Ushers and Greeters. These positions are the first face of the church that our guests and visitors see and we want to make everyone feel welcome and at home. It is also a wonderful way to get to know the people that you worship with. Generally, these people sign up for one month at a time to serve in this area. Vern Butters is the Head Usher and if you are interested in serving in this ministry contact Vern and he will work you into the rotation. You may also contact the office and your information will be forwarded.
