Parishioners, Neighbors, and Friends are invited to bring photos of loved ones who have died to be a part of our All Saint’s Ofrenda. Please include your name and phone number on the back of the photo so it can be safely returned to you following our celebration. The Ofrenda will be up until November 1.

Border Chaplain Ana Reza and Mike Wallens will be with us for a weekend of learning and engagement. All are welcome to a workshop on Saturday October 17 at 2pm. Mike Wallens will be the guest preacher at all services on October 18. Come and learn about the ministries in El Paso and in the Big Bend area, hear about the ongoing witness at the immigration courts, detention centers, and chaplaincy to both migrants and immigration officers.

Gallery St Michael in the Pavilion will be selling crosses and nativities (off-the-wall, i.e. to take home that day) to benefit Immigration Ministries in our parish. The heart of this sale is the large collection of Adele Davies, and parishioners are invited to go through their own collections to add to the sale. Bring crosses and nativities to church or the Landing by November 10 to be part of the sale.

Please join the LGBTQ+ Ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande for an evening with Rev. Woody Peabody at St. Michael’s.  Dinner will be provided. Fr. Woody is a retired Episcopal priest who now lives in New Mexico.  During the 1980’s, he had a parish in California and ministered to the gay community during the beginning of the AIDS pandemic.  He will talk about backlash he experienced from the church for showing love and compassion to the queer community.

A Citywide Assembly will be held on Monday, November 9, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

What does it look like for people of faith to work together for lasting change in our communities?

A coalition of congregations, schools, non-profits, and neighborhood organizations from across Albuquerque and Northern New Mexico is coming together to form a new broad-based, non-partisan community organization through the Industrial Areas Foundation, one of the nation's longest-running networks of community organizing groups.

Organizers describe this as "a different kind of politics," rooted not in parties or election cycles, but in relationships, leadership development, and collective action. The goal is to help everyday people identify shared concerns, build power together, and work for the common good in their communities.

 The location will be announced later. This gathering will introduce the emerging organization and provide an opportunity to learn more about community organizing efforts across New Mexico.
