Upcoming Events & Announcements

To all who participated in and helped with the Maundy Thursday Service/Seder Meal, Good Friday Service and Easter Sunrise Service.
Feed New Mexico Kids
Join us on Monday April 13 at 10 am in the sanctuary as we assemble food packages for students at five local schools.
New Wednesday Night Bible Study
On Wednesday April 15 at 5:30 pm we will begin a six-week study of The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. See the bulletin insert. There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex for those who would like to participate in this study.
This six‑session video study explores journalist Lee Strobel’s investigation into the historical evidence for Jesus Christ and His resurrection. Participants will follow Strobel’s journey from atheism to faith as he interviews experts in history, archaeology, and manuscript studies. Each session examines key questions about the reliability of the New Testament, evidence outside the Bible, and the credibility of the resurrection.
Second Mile Giving
Our Second Mile Giving in April will go to support St. Joseph Mission School in San Fidel. Please see the bulletin insert. If you would like to support this worthwhile mission project, please mark “St. Joseph” on the memo line of your check.
Winter Donations
As winter approaches, we are collecting gloves, socka, stocking caps, sweatshirts, blankets and sleeping bags for the homeless. Please place your donations in the bins in the narthex.

It’s time for our annual outing to the Santa Fe Opera. We will travel to Santa Fe on the church bus, or by cars, have a picnic supper on the Opera grounds, and attend “The Magic Flute” by Mozart.
