Yuma Arizona

Had a great time visiting with our friends at Yuma United Church of Christ.

I want to thank Stacey and Marilynn for their warmth and hospitality.

This is a great group of people committed to keeping alive the vision of and hope for a progressive community of faith in the farthest reaches of the Southwest Conference. I am proud of them, and lift them up in prayer. The challenge to be meaningful covenant partners for and with them belongs to us all.

Thanksgiving Alive at Camp Thunderbird

About 65 Youth from across the Conference (ranging from Flagstaff AZ to El Paso TX) gathered at Camp Thunderbird last night. The Camp is about 30 miles north and east of Silver City NM - where the youth will gather today to perform a variety of mission services throughout the town.

The youth will spend the entire weekend there, and will worship with the members and friends of our church in Silver City.

This is always a highlight of the year for our youth, and we want to send our thanks and appreciation to Katrina Glenn, our Director of Youth and Outdoor Ministries, to the members of our Youth Council, and to all of the adult supervisors who volunteered their time to make this a great event for our youth.

A Happy Dorhauer Thanksgiving

Here's hoping your Thanksgiving was as special as ours, and that you had as much to be thankful for as we did.

John and Kelley, wish you were here.
