Reverend Rod Thompson Arrives!
Our new Accredited Interim Minister and his wife Mary will arrive Jul 31. According to the testimony of references, our Interim Minister Search Team has managed to attract an excellent choice in Rod Thompson, who will provide the leadership over the next two years to help us engage in a process that will lead to a wise choice for our next called minister and move us forward with our Appreciative Inquiry process.
Please see our “Let’s Talk” section for more information about Reverend Thompson who will preach his first sermon on August 22.
While we await Reverend Thompson’s arrival in the pulpit, we want you to know that our summer services are on-going events that challenge you to think about your own spirituality, our purpose for being here at this time and place, and what we can do to improve the lives of our fellow humans. We welcome you to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Las Cruces, which is a progressive, diverse and caring church community. Our families come in all types and sizes and express the diversity of the American experience – singles, retired, young, old, and in between – single parents, partners with children, grandparents, physically challenged, straight and gay – we appreciate all of the gifts they bring to our religious community. We are a Welcoming Congregation.
We believe there are many paths to wisdom and spiritual truth; our members engage in many religious practices that may include aspects of Christianity, Humanism, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Earth-Centered spirituality. We may classify ourselves as theists, deists, agnostics, atheists, or humanists, but we share a common need for community, spirituality, social justice, and support in our life’s journey.
We have no creed, but our members believe that learning and spiritual growth continue throughout life. The answer to life’s important questions, “Where did we come from, why are we here, and what happens when we die,” may never be fully answered, but the search for those answers is important.
Our congregation strives for diversity, social justice, acceptance and peace in our congregation, our community, and in the world as a whole. We invite you to join with us in worship and loving community.
