Snowed out in April… in Arizona?

pfarangers — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 01:33:50 +0000

Pack-in 2012 was COLD! We had light rain, then hail, then snow.

After a 5 mile hike and exploring the creek – it was time to pack-OUT! Check out the photos and videos over at http://www.flickr.com/photos/pfarangers/collections/72157618983883010/

Enjoyed our night in the gym with a worship service, pizza, B-ball and a movie. I guess God had different plans than we did.

How does Phoenix First Rangers keep the ministry going strong?

pfarangers — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:02:28 +0000

Ever wonder how the Ranger ministry is supported at Phoenix First?

Each week, we give away badges & certificates – we use resources like copiers and paper – and we underwrite all kinds of great events like Pinewood Derby and the free 2009, 2010, and 2011 Pow Wows. It takes quite a bit of funding to keep this ministry operating with excellence.
The way we do all of this is with YOUR help! Join us for our annual Ranger Cafe during the Celebration of Christmas performances at Phoenix First. It is by far the biggest source of Ranger support.
Sign-up today to help us sell snacks to the guests and cast of this amazing event! We can promise a good time hanging out with friends and the satisfaction of knowing that your investment of time and energy lets Rangers pour into the lives of the young men and boys of Phoenix First all year long.
