Prayers for all our church family, friends, Elders, Deacons and this community: may Christ’s peace reign in our hearts, families, and world.

A Note from Your New Pastor:________________ Many thanks to Margaret Franke who's been maintaining this website and uploading information about Smith Memorial Presbyterian Church in Truchas, and El Buen Pastor in Chimayo, and a little about their history. Both churches were founded around the turn of the century in 1903, and have been serving these communities for 125 years! Last month (May) we celebrated San Isidro Day in Chimayό; and what a wonderful fiesta-- with so many thoughtful people from the church and community thanking God for the gift of creation; praying for rain; and trusting God’s continued mercy and faithfulness to provide it. Pastor Linda, and son, Samuel, were thankful to be a part of it and meet so many great people! Thanks for inviting us, Brenda and Catherine! ___________________________________________________________ WORSHIP TIMES: Smith Memorial (PCUSA)Truchas 9:00 am El Buen Pastor (PCUSA) Chimayo 10:30 am ___________________________________________________________________ Santa Fe Presbytery's Zoom Bible Study is taking a break and will resume in September.
