Dear Friends in Christ,
Greetings to you! Hard to believe that we are already in the month of May! A few things to announce:
Tonight at 6:00PM (come a little early if you want) - We're doubling the fun, with a PW meeting tonight, disguised as Green Chile Gals. The only business at hand is: How can we have a Rummage Sale? And when should we meet for a regular meeting? For the purposes of staying COVID-careful, we are invited to bring a sack dinner, rather than something to share.
Home Communion: I am available this week to bring communion to your home, if you missed church on Sunday. Please text or call me if you wish to receive this. I will coordinate it. My number is 575-708-0860.

Travelers
All those suffering from COVID19
Have you put in a garden yet? Do you have any leftover seeds? Maybe there should be a little seed swap. This Mothers' Day, if you have some seeds to pass on to someone else, just pop them in a marked baggie or several baggies. I'll set up a place in Fellowship Hall for a drop off point. Leave a baggie and pick up a baggie!
This Week:
Today, Wed and Fri - Exercise, Eat and Pray at 10AM in Fellowship Hall
Tonight at 6:00PM - PW/Green Chile Gals - bring a sack supper and let's talk about Rummage Sales! (and maybe future activities for the church)
Tomorrow (Tuesday) - Yoga in Fellowship Hall at Noon.
Sunday - Mothers' Day - NO Session Meeting (will be rescheduled)
Do you have any news to share? Special awards or recognitions that your church family should be celebrating? Please tell me!
FYI - I will be getting my 2nd COVID shot on Tuesday. If I am lucky enough, it will not put me out of commission for Wednesday. Hope there aren't any major side effects.
Friends, I hope that this week, you notice God's many blessings! And be a blessing to someone else.
Many hugs (pre-COVID style)
Rev. Amy
