Prayers for Ruidoso

Donate Through Our Synod

Please keep our siblings in Christ in Ruidoso, NM, in your prayers as they deal with devastating fires. The two fires in that area have burned more than 25,000 acres across private, public and tribal lands. Please consider making a donation to support the Ruidoso community.

You can make a donation through the Synod of Southwest at the Sierra Blanca Fires donation page. Donations will be administered by the Sierra Blanca presbytery leadership in coordination with the Ruidoso congregation.

We received this request from the Synod of Southwest Newsletter: July 2024. And from the Santa Fe Presbytery, we received this prayer we know you will join:

For the people who have had to evacuate,
or who prepare to evacuate,
for animals that forced to flee,
for plants and other elements of creation that cannot move,
we pray for safety and strength.
For those who work to put out the fires
we ask for protection and success.
For those who watch and wait
as fires develop, we ask for courage and patience.
