Upcoming Events & Announcements
Date Change for August Holy Communion
The sacrament of Holy Communion has been changed from this Sunday August 3 to Sunday August 10.
Second Mile Giving
Our Second Mile Giving in August will go to purchase hoodies for high school students in Sandoval County. Many of the students are in need of warm clothing as the colder weather approaches. If you would like to support this ministry, please mark “Hoodies” on the memo line of your check.
Do You Love to Sing?
Since the choir is taking a break for the summer, we are looking for individuals or groups to provide the special music at either the 9 am or 11 am service. If you are interested, please see Frank Rotolo or Reuben.
School Supplies
During the month of August, we are continuing to collect school supplies for our local schools, Pantry clients, St. Joseph Mission School and Gallup Nazarene Church. Please place your donations in the bins in the Narthex.
