RISE Services Seeks Foster Parents to Support Arizona's 7,600 Children in Care
In Arizona, there’s a great need for compassionate foster parents to step forward, including for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This National Foster Care Month, at RISE Services, Inc. Arizona, we’re spotlighting how becoming a foster parent or professional parent is an opportunity to make a real impact through empathy in action. Let’s explore together what fostering means and how you can help transform lives in Arizona. The State of Foster Care in Arizona Across Arizona, nearly 7,600 children are in foster care, yet there are only about 3,000 licensed foster families. This means there are close to five children in care for every available foster family. The need for committed caregivers who can offer safe, nurturing homes is urgent and ongoing. Fostering is Empathy in Action Fostering is a journey rooted in empathy and guided by action. As a foster parent, you open your home and heart to children who need stability, compassion, and understanding. It’s about listening, being present, and advocating for their needs, while providing encouragement and support each day. Fostering means taking purposeful steps to nurture a child’s growth, building trust, and offering the consistency that helps them thrive. With every act of care, big or small, you show empathy in action, making a lasting difference in their lives. What It Means to Foster with RISE Arizona At RISE Services, Inc. Arizona, we understand that fostering children and youth with IDD comes with unique considerations and rewards. That’s why we provide comprehensive supports for every step of your fostering journey: Thorough Training: Our foster families receive specialized training to support children with IDD. 24/7 Help: Support is always available whenever you need advice, encouragement, or answers to questions. Advocacy: Your Family Support Specialist will assist with paperwork, help prepare your home for licensing, and visit your home as part of the home study process. They’re also there to advocate for your child’s needs at meetings, court hearings, and other important gatherings. Ongoing Guidance: Our team remains alongside you, attending key meetings and connecting you with resources in your community. Who can become a foster or professional parent? At RISE Services, Inc. Arizona, we welcome single and two-parent households and celebrate diversity without discrimination related to race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disabilities. Join the Movement This National Foster Care Month National Foster Care Month is about empathy, action, and coming together to create brighter futures for Arizona’s children. If you’ve ever thought about fostering or want to learn more about supporting children with IDD, contact RISE Arizona today. Together, we can take action and make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in foster care.The post Support Arizona’s Children: A National Foster Care Month Guide appeared first on RISE Services, Inc.

Focus314: Day 20 Devotional
Read It: Ecclesiastes 12:9-14; Proverbs 22:17-21 Live It: The “Teacher” has given us a final summary of his life’s quest for meaning. After exploring pleasure, wisdom, wealth, and work, he arrives at a simple yet profound conclusion: “Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Solomon’s entire journey, detailed in the book of Ecclesiastes, is a testimony to the emptiness of pursuing life “under the sun”—meaning, apart from God. His closing remarks emphasize the lasting nature of his message. The Teacher sought to find “just the right words” to convey truth (v. 10). This echoes the wisdom literature’s desire to instruct and guide. Proverbs 22:17-21 reinforces this, urging us to “pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise,” so that our “trust in the LORD” might be sure. The Teacher warns us that endless studying and writing about worldly knowledge can be wearying (v. 12). The true, singular focus for a meaningful life is simple: reverence for God and obedience to His commands. All of life—all our thoughts, words, and deeds—will ultimately be brought into judgment (v. 14). This final conclusion of Ecclesiastes is an invitation to shift our focus from temporary pursuits to eternal purpose. We are called to stop chasing the wind of earthly ambition and instead anchor our lives in the unwavering truth of God’s word. The true joy, knowledge, and meaning that Solomon sought in vain through his own efforts are found only in relationship with the Creator and King. Challenge: How does knowing that God will bring every deed into judgment change how you live today? Take a moment to commit to obeying God’s commands in one specific area of your life this week.

Focus314: Day 17 Devotional
Read It: Ecclesiastes 9:12 -10; Psalm 7:12-17; Proverbs 26:27 Live It: The older I get, the more I find myself cherishing my grandfather’s wisdom. He was, by no means, the richest but he was well respected. He did many things that at one point made me question his ability to work out a problem, but the older I get, I understand why. In today’s scripture, Solomon presents us with this thought: Sometimes we don’t know how to appreciate what God has already given us. We always want to look for the big and obvious, but we don’t seek the humble and quiet. I believe that this scripture talks a lot about what we go through in our journey of faith. Sometimes we despise the wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Remember what Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 9:17-18 “Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person than the shouts of a foolish king. Better to have wisdom than weapons of war, but one sinner can destroy much that is good.” Let’s not despise the guidance of the Holy Spirit. His gentle guide is something we will always have to be thankful for. Pastor Rafael

Janice D. Phipps Jones Obituary
Janice D. Phipps Jones, 76, Chandler, AZ, entered eternal rest on April 8, 2026 after a lengthy illness.Janice was born on June 20, 1949, in Richmond, VA and was a member of Blackstone HS Class of ’67. Janice and William ‘Billy’ Jones were married on September 9,1967 and had celebrated 46 years of wedded bliss prior to his passing in 2014.Janice loved her community and proudly served its banking needs for more than 45 years at Citizen’s Bank in Blackstone. She and Billy had a fondness for travel, notably taking cruises with friends and taking road trips to Las Vegas. Her greatest love, however, was being a grandmother and then great-grandmother.Upon retiring to the lake community of Buggs Island, VA in 2012 she spent most days near the water, whether on a boat, a float, or simply with her toes in the sand.Although her mailing address in her twilight years read Chandler, AZ, Virginia would always be ‘home’. It was here that Janice found an affinity to both Snickers chocolate bars and touring the southwest on motorcycles and until she was physically unable, she would most often be found demonstrating to her friends and neighbors the meaning of genuine Southern Hospitality.Janice was preceded in death by her parents, Fred Ambrose Phipps Jr and Ivory Mae Turner, brother, Fred Phipps III, sister-in-law Dottie, and husband, Billy.She is survived by her daughter, Shannon (Terry), grandchild, Elaina (Benjamin), grandchildren Benjamin Jr., Savannah and Nathan.The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at both Parkland Memory Care and Always present Hospice for their professional and compassionate care throughout her time spent with them.Memorial arrangements will be made at a later date.In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Dementia Society of America, American Cancer Society and/or Always Present Hospice, 1400 N Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, Arizona 85234.

Marylou Taylor Obituary
MaryLou Taylor, born August 21, 1945, in Renton, Washington, passed away on April 18, 2026, in Mesa, Arizona, following a short illness. She was 80 years, 7 months, and 28 days old.She was the daughter of J. Bernard Beighley and Amy Beatrice (Newbury) Beighley, and was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Walter Beighley, and her sisters Arlene (Beighley) Roberts and Helen (Beighley) Kinney. With her passing, she was the last of her generation.MaryLou is survived by her children: Dawn (Taylor) Stanley and her husband Joel Stanley; Amy (Taylor) Van Riper and her husband Steven Van Riper; and her son Christopher Taylor. She is also survived by seven grandchildren: Geoffrey Stanley and his wife Elena, and Levi Stanley; Nicholas Van Riper and his wife Jessie, and Emma Van Riper; and Blade Taylor, Phoenix Taylor, and Calina Taylor; as well as two great-grandchildren, Ezekiel Stanley and Zoë Stanley, with another great-grandchild on the way—a blessing she had prayed for. She also leaves behind her former husband Calvin Ricks “Rick” Taylor, and a large extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.MaryLou married Rick Taylor in 1967 and, through his service in both the United States Army and the United States Air Force, spent years living across the western United States and overseas. These experiences sparked a lifelong love of travel that would define much of her life.In her professional life, she worked primarily as an administrative assistant in hospital settings and for federal contractors. In 2007, she retired, purchased an RV, and set out to explore the United States on her own terms. She eventually began spending her winters in Mesa, Arizona, and in 2012 made it her permanent home, drawn by the community and friendships she found there.She traveled to 34 countries, and her favorite way to see the world was from the deck of a cruise ship. A proud Carnival Cruise Line Diamond-level cruiser, she took an estimated 40 cruises over the years. She especially loved cruising with her daughters, her best friend Linda, and a circle of friends who shared her enthusiasm for life at sea.MaryLou had a sharp wit and a natural ability to make people laugh. She loved casinos, card games, and trivia—and she was good at all of them. She delighted in teaching her children and grandchildren how to play, from blackjack strategy to the finer points of craps. Even in her final days, she continued playing cards with her daughters—and winning—often declaring with a smile that she was “invincible.”Despite years of knee pain and, more recently, illness, MaryLou never let anything slow her down. She remained active, continued to travel, and approached life with resilience and a positive spirit.She lived life boldly, on her own terms, and made sure it was fun. Above all, her faith was central to who she was. The only things she loved more than traveling were her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren—and Jesus.If she were to leave one message, it would be this:“Know Jesus and take the cruise.”A gathering in her honor will be held in the fall of 2026 in Mesa, Arizona, when her northern friends return for the season.
