Los Alamos, New Mexico is a small mountain community of approximately 18,000 people one hour from Santa Fe. The church is part of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Mountain Desert district. Our congregation is midsize, with about 150 active members and about 100 friends. We have an active Religious Exploration (RE) program with 50-60 children enrolled in classes from toddlers to High School. Our church year typically starts in the middle of August and goes into the first week of June with regular services at 9 and 11 am. We also offer an Adult Religious Exploration Forum at 10:10 am. During the summer, we invite many outside speakers to explore a whole range of topics of general interest to the public. We are a UUA-certified Welcoming Congregation and spearheaded the formation of and are now actively supporting the local chapter of PFLAG. Our vision is to affirm and exemplify our Principles and Purposes as we welcome and include all people of liberal faith, promote justice, encourage religious thought and experience in the best traditions of our heritage, and serve as an active testimony to the future.

Mexico Without Fear | “Mexico Sin Miedo”. Sermon audio presented by Sherry Hardage on July 24, 2011. A heartening fact: Your chances of being killed while visiting Mexico are lower than your chances of winning the PowerBall lottery. In both cases, you have to buy a ticket! Honestly, a trip to Mexico is a much more entertaining way to spend your money!! The American media portrays Mexico as possibly the most dangerous place on earth. I have now been to different areas three times in the last year and a half. The last trip, I flew internal Mexican airlines, from Juarez through Mexico City, to Chiapas. While there are many dangers to traveling in Mexico (uneven stairs and holes in the sidewalks), the chances of being beheaded, raped, or even mugged is lower than in the US. I will present some sobering statistics culled from the net and some fun anecdotes which I hope will inspire people to consider Mexico as a vacation destination. | 7/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
