Capernaum Friends
Margaret Falkowski
On November 1, 2014, the Community Church at SaddleBrooke hosted an informational meeting to acquaint community residents with the ministry of Young Life Capernaum. The event was hosted by the Tucson Coordinator for Young Life Capernaum Janet Payne and her assistant Genetta Holt. Refreshments were provided by Pam Hall, SaddleBrooke’s maker of tasty goodies.
To start the afternoon off Janet told the audience of 37 what Capernaum does to bring together Capernaum Friends who are mentally or physically disabled. Several Capernaum Friends who have formed a choir sang and several choir members sang solos. Janet shared about their need for people to come along side Capernaum members during meetings, summer camp and to provide social events for Capernaum members to participate in.
Members of Community Church at SaddleBrooke came forward to explore ways they can get involved in enhancing the lives of these Capernaum Friends. The afternoon was a success for all who attended.
Community Church at SaddleBrooke meets every Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. at the DesertView Theatre. We are a church of Grace and all are welcome.
