Valley Community United Church of Christ, Silver City

I have just returned from an absolutely delightful weekend in Silver City.

I chose to take the long drive (which is shorter in terms of miles, longer in terms of time) through the mountains, and it was well worth it. The scenery along the way was spectacular, and the drive from Superior AZ to Globe was breathtaking.

Pastor Larimore and his partner Carlos treated me to an evening out at the Buckhorn restaurant just outside of Silver City, in Pinos Altos. It was a walk back in time, and around that table we shared the gifts of story, of family, and of fellowship. It was most enjoyable.

But the highlight of the trip was the time I spent worshipping with the good folk of Valley Community United Church of Christ. In a sanctuary adorned with stained glass windows that incorporate the surrounding geography, the family of faith at Valley church gathered to find nurturance and sustenance.

It was an honor to be present, and to represent the face of the wider church to an endearing Covenant Partner.
