We would love to see you. Below you will find our worship, educational, and other activities coming up this Sunday.
Wise, Foolish or Wanted?
Worship, Nov 8, 8:30 & 11am
Sometimes things don’t end up going the way you expected them to go. In the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, Jesus makes it clear that living as if ‘there’s always a tomorrow’ isn’t realistic. And yet living as if you can prepare for every eventuality is also unrealistic. As Rev. Elizabeth Graham notes, it leaves us with the question of what Jesus’ “keep awake” truly means.
Addressing Homelessness
Adult Ed, Nov 8, 9:45am
Homelessness was recently ranked as the number one issue that Santa Fe residents want our elected leaders to solve. Sunday learn about the scale of the problem, how Interfaith Community Services the ROCk (Resource and Opportunity Center) project will fill critical gaps, how neighborhood safety concerns are being addressed, and where things stand today.
Growing Grateful Hearts, Sharing Generous Hands
Children & Youth, Nov 8, 830&11am
This week, our children will explore Matthew 25:1–13 and Jesus’ parable of the ten bridesmaids. Through this story, we’ll learn about being prepared, staying faithful, and keeping our hearts open to God. We’ll talk about what it means to let our light shine through kindness, love, and caring for others as we live each day ready to follow Jesus!
Children & Youth Program
Sunday Mornings
Each Sunday our children and youth are engaged with activities on their levels that help them learn about God and that frequently mirror the message of our Sunday service. The children and youth begin in our worship service(s), and after receiving a blessing, they leave for their activities.
Addressing Hunger, One Sandwich at a Time
Sandwich Brigade, Pope Hall, Each Sunday
Food insecurity is high in Santa Fe. To meet the current need, Bienvenidos Outreach is now open seven days a week, providing sandwiches to the unhoused, day workers, individuals and families facing food insecurity. Our church provides over 300 sandwiches each week to help in this effort. You can help.

Food Drive

Bienvenidos distributes food boxes of nonperishable food items augmented by produce purchased from local farmers. The demand for these boxes is still high.
