for the homeless men, women and children in our area. This may be the only
gift these children of God receive during this season.
Let’s keep their ‘souls’ warm!!
(Shoebox Ministry, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit service corporation, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Shoebox was founded in 1988 with
a specific goal of meeting the personal hygiene needs of the homeless and working poor.
This is the only agency in the greater Phoenix area that focuses on meeting this very important need. While they
are not a shelter, they do distribute our toiletry kits through agencies and shelters that work directly with the home-
less and working poor.)
WEST SIDE LUTHERAN THRIFT STORE

Children's Lay Ministers (volunteers) are Needed! Can You Help?
Extreme Kids Teachers
Help is needed to set up the sound
system before the worship
services, run the sound board during
the worship services and/or take
down
Our dedicated Worship Techs hard at work. We're not sure if they were really
paying attention. Pastor Kevin will quiz them later
Worship Technician
the sound system after the worship services. No experience is
necessary, but an ear for music and an aptitude for electronics is
helpful. For more information drop by the sound table after a
worship service and talk to Jason Schuldt ([email protected] ) or
contact the church office at 623-215-8139.
This group will present short skits and dramas as part of the worship experience on Sunday morning. No previous experience is necessary, though it is certainly helpful.
There is no need to memorize a lot of material, so a fantastic memory is not needed either (though again it is certainly helpful).
Contact Tracy Sawyer-Sinkbeil at [email protected] if interested or for further information.
Actors and Actresses
A Drama Ministry is forming at Desert Streams Church.
If you sing or play an instrument,
both worship teams would love to have you

please give us the heads up!
Contact: Traci Sawyer-Sinkbeil or
Courtney Schuldt for more info.
SUNDAY CHURCH SET-UP
