New Mexico Regional Meeting - Fall Gathering 2025 Connecting, Celebrating, and Serving Sept 26-28, 2025 UNM Sevilleta Field Station Come one, come all! Please register now to join us in fellowship at this fall’s gathering of our New Mexico Regional Meeting, Sept 26-28, 2025 at Sevilleta. We hope that our weekend theme of “Connecting, Celebrating, and Serving” will help us gather in community, ground ourselves, connect to each other, tend to spirit, and equip us to better serve with love and joy in this otherwise tumultuous and crazy-making world. We hope not just to (re)connect with each other this year but also to explore a new site for regional gathering – the UNM Sevilleta Field Station, about 20 miles north of Socorro just off of I-25. The Field Station offers a central NM location, a natural setting, retreat-like space, good accessibility and affordability, with comfortable simple housing. There is also a nearby RV campground as well as motel rooms half an hour away in Socorro. The mission of the Field Station is “to promote understanding and preservation of the the natural environment,” and the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge lies at the junction of several major biomes of the American Southwest, with rich ecosystems that are the inspiration for both science and art on display at the Field Station. Connecting, celebrating, and serving with and within our New Mexican natural world will be an integral part of the weekend experience. Holly Baldwin and Elizabeth Freyman will offer us opportunities to reflect on our theme with interactive and reflective activities that are intergenerational whenever possible. Elizabeth is youth religious education coordinator, and Holly is a spiritual director who has most recently been leading opportunities for “Grounding and Connection for Crisis Times.” There will be opportunities throughout the weekend for worshipful reflection and renewal, including outdoor sunrise worships on Saturday and Sunday. (for those willing to “rise” to the occasion!) Please fill out and return the registration form as soon as possible to join us and reserve your place among Friends! Draft Schedule SEP.26 – FRIDAY:
