Support Cuba War Powers Resolution

The Cuba War Powers Resolution, which surfaced about two months ago, is out of committee now and will go to the floor of the Senate for a vote this week — as soon as Tuesday, August 4th. Now that it is live, let’s make a real effort to be part of the solution. Our Senators need to hear our voices NOW!

Aug 6, 4-5pm, Sanctuary

Join Dr. Marshall for the unique experience of a “Sound Bath” using an organ instead of singing bowls. An Organ Sound Bath is a meditative experience where participants lie down on the floor, or sit in a relaxed position and are surrounded by healing vibrations from the C. B. Fisk organ. A freewill offering is taken.

Pastor Andrew has recently shared his experiences on his recent trip with other faith leaders to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  This fragile area is in danger from oil drilling which involves severe risks to wildlife, spill-cleanup difficulties, and accelerated climate change.

Aug 2, 10am, Sanctuary

VIDEO. This Sunday Pastor Andrew weaves together the wisdom of Job, the stewardship of creation, the mystery of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the magic of Narnia.

Aug 9, During both services (8:30 & 11am)

First Sundays

Our hard-working Fun Food and Fellowship folks are taking a much needed rest this summer—taking trips and kicking back. So our First Sunday luncheons will be going on a hiatus for a few months. In October, they will return with plenty of creative and yummy entrees and desserts. We wish them a lovely, restful summer.

Volunteer Opportunity

Immigrant families in our community are facing fear and uncertainty in their daily lives. Your presence through accompaniment says: “This person is seen. This person matters. The community is watching.” The Faith Coalition asks you to consider volunteering with Las Cumbres to walk alongside them. Volunteers receive orientation, training, supervision, and debriefing.

Donation Box at Church

Bienvenidos distributes food boxes of nonperishable food items augmented by produce purchased from local farmers. The demand for these boxes is still high. Collection boxes are in our coat closet off the lobby, and any nonperishable item (canned goods, pasta, oatmeal, cereals) that you would like to contribute can be deposited there.

Donation Box at Church

The Las Cumbres Infant and Early Childhood Services is in need of diapers ( sizes 4, 5, & 6) and baby wipes for their immigrant and refugee services. As a member of the Santa Fe Faith Coalition, our church is participating in this diaper baby hygiene drive.
