Adult Ministry

HUGS—Happily Under God’s Supervision—is an outreach program at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church that offers FELLOWSHIP, FUN, and FOOD for senior adults in northwest Tucson. The program has been a part of St. Andrew’s since the 1970s. Currently our weekly attendance ranges from 20-30 members.

We meet Wednesday mornings from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM in Friendship Hall on our NE campus. A short devotion is given by a pastor or a volunteer, and our programs consist of informative speakers, musical groups, Bingo, and games. Lunch is provided for $5. Several times a month our preschool children entertain us with songs and twice a year they participate in activities with us. A Parish Nurse is on site to give blood pressure checks.

You can help our HUGS ministry continue to be a blessing to our community by inviting a neighbor who could use extra fellowship, joining our volunteer team, or simply lifting up our seniors and leaders in prayer. Whether you come to participate, serve, or connect, we would love to have you with us on Wednesday mornings. To discover how your unique gifts can support this ministry, please contact Kris Lantz at kris-lantz@hotmail.com or Susan Lane at laneslink@msn.com.

Team World Vision is a ministry partner where we gather as friends and train together to run the Phoenix Marathon or Half-Marathon, all while raising money to support World Vision’s goal to provide everyone in the world with access to clean drinking water! The training is for all ages and abilities and designed for people who have no experience running races. During the 18 weeks of training, we will meet on Saturdays for a community group run, prayer time, and support.
