On May 22 Mother Jan Hosea, currently at St. Andrew's in Las Cruces, led our discussion of Mothers and Mentors. Using Biblical pairs like Sarai and Hagar, Ruth and Naomi, Elizabeth and Mary, Rachel and Leah we considered how differing dynamics in relationships affect the way we mentor and mother one another. As women of faith, we are called to mentor, and even sometimes mother, the women in our lives.
You can watch the video of the gathering.
Join us on June 26 for a discussion led by the Rev. Pat Green and the Rev. Dan Tuton about Coming Back from COVID. We'll explore the changes, concerns, fears, and losses that impact our outlook about returning to life and community.
Start thinking about who, in your parish or your neighborhood, you might invite to PICNIC (Partners in Christ; Neighbors in Community)! This gathering on July 24 will be via Zoom AND in small groups at your church or your home! We'll have some games, we'll learn to roast marshmallows over candles to make mini S'Mores, and other fun things.
