At Saguaro Buttes we enjoy monthly fellowship meals (potlucks). We have been doing this for the last 4 years. Usually the church provides the main dish, (Tacos, Beef, Sub Sandwiches, etc.), and members bring a side dish or dessert. What a wonderful way to spend your Sunday morning. To come and spend some time in the presence of God and His glorious creation and enjoy the fellowship of other believers, (and the food is not to bad either). If you are looking get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and find a little peace and quiet then remember that it is usually the second Sunday of every month. A special thanks to Tim & Sandy Skjah who have been organizing and cooking for this wonderful event.

Why do we take communion every Sunday at Saguaro Buttes?
There are several reasons.
Jesus commanded it.
Matt. 26:26 ¶ “While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
Matt. 26:27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you;
Matt. 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”
Jesus set the example by taking communion himself.
Matt. 26:29 “But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
The examples of the early disciples.
Acts 20:7 ¶ “On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread.”
Our Practice
At Saguaro Buttes communion is one of the main focuses of our weekly services. We offer it every Sunday as we believe this was the example set by the early disciples. We offer it to every person, regardless of your background, because we believe communion should be open to every person that believes in Jesus our Savior. Each Sunday we have a communion meditation before the emblems of grape juice and unleavened bread are offered. This meditation helps us focus on communion, and helps brings our minds back to the cross of Christ and his sacrifice that he made for each of us.
Thank-you for taking time out to check out our web site.
We are a new non-denominational church located on the far East side of Tucson, next to the beautiful Saguaro National Monument. We are simply Christians who believe the Bible and serve Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Our goal is to provide a wonderful place to worship God, a community to build relationships, raise families, and come together for mutual support and encouragement.
Being non-denominational we accept people from all backgrounds and traditions, who are seeking to build a life based on biblical principles.
We welcome you to check us out on any Sunday morning at 10:30 AM.
