We Reach Out...
Continue to pray for our upcoming children's Vacation Bible School "iPray", June 7-9! We pray this will be an outreach to children who don't know Jesus yet and those that already do - may they learn how important prayer is. 

Still taking donations this month of MAY for "Shelter from the SUN" - Join our donation drive for the homeless; collecting items to help protect them from the hot summer sun. You can pick up the list of items needed or email lkeener@desertspringsfamily.org .

Tom Hodges is needing people to help 2 individuals by providing a ride to church and back each Sunday.  If you can help, contact Laura Keener at lkeener@desertspringsfamily.org.

Our plans are to begin with the Narrow Door Ministry to feed the homeless of Palm Desert in JULY!  We will serve dinner Thursday nights, hand out hygiene kits, clothes and share the love of Jesus!

Phil Lopiccola, a wonderful man of God, husband, father & friend has gone on to the arms of Jesus.  His wife Lorraine is trusting in the Lord for comfort and peace, as this was quite sudden with no warning. She believes in God's perfect plan for Phil and is thankful he did not have to suffer.  Phil was just 67 years young and a part of our GO!Team. A servant for the Lord, now getting his eternal rewards.
