NOTE:  FROM Bill Humphreys: 

 
To: Smith Memorial and El Buen Pastor Presbyterian Congregations.
Dear Great Friends in Ministry:
Here’s one more good thing that must come to an end: on or near August 9, I am moving with Laura Loving, who is my spouse, to Portland, Oregon, where, as you may know, live our daughter, our two grandchildren, and Laura’s sister.  My current plan is to be with you on Sunday mornings coming up, except for July Sundays, 10 and 17 for family camp in Wisconsin, with August 3 as my last Sunday with you; and on some weekdays as schedules allow.
  I have completely enjoyed my time with you! You have been warmly friendly and supportive of me, and are clearly engaged in the ministry of Jesus Christ in your communities. 
  I will make final plans with the Sessions of each congregation; the Presbytery’s Commission on Ministry (COM) will want to be as supportive as they can be for the continuing ministry of these congregations. 
  Knowing that many members and friends of these congregations will not receive this information all at the same time, please let others know of this message. I will keep you in my prayers, and I invite you to return the honor!  Blessings all around! The Peace of Christ be with you! -Bill

​
Prayer:   Thanksgiving for Natalie’s safe return and Isabel.

JICARITA Cluster
​
 From Virginia Bairby of Taos First:

The following motion was passed by a majority of the Jicarita Cluster churches.

MOTION: To award a capital grant in the amount of $26,205.07 (the entirety of La Jicarita Cluster's remaining funds) to Camp Loma Verde in response to their May 1, 2025 proposal (attached), with the request that funds be used for capital improvements, not general operating expenses. 
 
COMMUNITY EVENTS:  
REMINDER of Items for help:
Here’s a list of some items that would be helpful for neighbors
and others in need, and maybe YOU would be glad to shop for
some of them, then bring them to church and we’ll collect them
for distribution, perhaps in zip-lock bags: tooth brush; tooth
paste, kleenex, fruit snacks, bottled water, deodorant, socks,
meat/cheese sticks, wet ones, comb, soap, shampoo, bandaids,
lip balm, crackers, sanitizer, zip lock bags. You may think of
some other items; be creative and generous!

Thanksgiving for this week: ​
