Playlists
1st of Each Month on our
Desert Cross Faith Formation Website
Playlists explore a topic using a variety of activities (reading, scripture, listening to music, watching a video, playing a game, discussing questions, studying art, etc.). We choose a theme each month and post Playlists designed for Children, Youth, and Adults on our Desert Cross Faith Formation Website. Together we study the same topic but with different content.

Desert Cross celebrated 40 years of ministry last year, and we spent some time looking back on our history together. The Book Group is taking this idea and following a family for 100 years. Jane Smiley's trilogy starts in 1920 with the Langdon family on their farm in Iowa. We read the first book in the fall, and we're continuing this series in the new year with Early Warning. Join us for the books that fit your schedule.
Book Fee: $16.00 Scholarships Available

Pastor Class with Pastor Steve
Glimpses of God in the Psalms of Lent
March 6, 13, 20, & April 10
Thursdays 7:00pm
Tempe Sanctuary
The psalms have been called the "Prayerbook of the Bible." During the four sessions of this class, we'll be looking at the context and content of eight psalms that have been traditionally read during the season of Lent. When we see how each psalmist related to God in various life situations, we'll be able to see how God continues to be present in every circumstance of our own lives. Each session will last about one hour, and will provide time for questions and reflection.
