Greetings and sweet rain to all,

What a joy to finally receive some moisture, especially after the smoky air of recent weeks.

Just a gentle reminder that our next gathering to assemble care packages for the unhoused will be on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 5:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall of Monte Vista Christian Church, 3501 Campus Blvd. NE.

We’re meeting a week earlier than usual due to scheduling conflicts at MVCC, so please be sure to sign up and donate what you can using the sheet linked below:

Sign up Sheet.

And a bittersweet note: Rev. Dawn will be retiring from her leadership at MVCC in August. While she’s assured us that the congregation will continue supporting our monthly kit assemblies, we will deeply miss her presence and spirit. Please join me in wishing her all the best in this next chapter.

With appreciation and love all around,
Meta.

PS: I've just finished the most delicious and engrossing book I've read this year: How to Read a Book, by Monica Wood. I got it from the ABQ library but our local book store Organic Books can also order for you!
