Details For Accessing The United Church And Thrift Shop During Canyon Road Construction Project

by

United Church & Thrift Shop News:

Now through the fall, major street reconstruction is happening on Canyon Road from 39th Street to Central Avenue/Rose Street.

The United Church of Los Alamos at 2525 Canyon is just east of the road construction, and getting to the church by car may be tricky at times, especially when coming from the western and northern parts of town.

During the construction period the least impeded access to The United Church is 15th Street, connecting with either Canyon Road at the 3-way stop, turning left (west) there; or going west at Nectar and 15th to Bathtub Row and the Read More

Fr. Glenn: In Whose Image?

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

I’m bad. You’re bad. We’re all bad!

Well, at least an alien from outer space might surmise such from all of the negative media—main and social—if monitoring our daily communications. Lots of stone throwing these days, even from people who live in glass houses—which is most of us to some degree, at least. Yet it’s not so much the level of imperfection that we’re currently in that matters so much as the sincere striving for improvement; after all, no race is begun at the finish line.

But what IS “improvement”? If we are to “improve”, we have to have some goal at which to aim.

Fr. Glenn: Opportunity All Around Us

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Priests and ministers and charities are often called upon to try to alleviate the sufferings of others, very often those in unforeseeable situations which lead to much financial distress. They try to give what they can and what their churches may be able to provide, as well as to direct them to sources of possible governmental assistance. But, alas, often it only scratches the surface of what is needed. We might cite a recent situation in which a young parent was fighting cancer with daily treatments and thus could not work … the spouse doing the best she could balancing the care Read More

Los Alamos Faith and Science Forum presents: The Orthodox Church, Faith vs Knowledge, A look at St. Isaac 7th Century By Father Jesse Robinson.

This presentation will ask the questions from an Orthodox Christian perspective: Are faith and science really so opposed? How are they meant to be ordered? What end are they meant to serve?

Fr. Glenn: Gratitude For Freedoms

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well, we hope you have a joy-filled, fun and safe Independence Day on this long weekend for many. A lot of people protesting this year because of a Supreme Court ruling not going the way they preferred, but one of the biggest things we celebrate on this annual holiday is our freedom TO protest; many people around the world do not have that freedom, and would be brutally crushed and persecuted should they dare even speak against the government. Remember Tiananmen Square? And neither can many peoples travel either abroad or within their own nations without official permission, Read More

Los Alamos Faith & Science Forum Presents Patrick Berg, MD, Maj, USAF On The Origin Of Life Wednesday June 29

by

LAFASF News:

In 1802, William Paley published his famous watch analogy in Natural Theology. He asserted that if a watch is found in an open field, “the inference we think is inevitable, (is) that the watch must have had a maker – that there must have existed, at some time and at some place or other … an artificer who formed it.”

He reviewed the complexity of human anatomy, as well as animals and plants, based on scientific understanding at the time. Seeing complexity far beyond a watch in plants, animals, and human anatomy, he concluded that there is a Creator.

Paley’s idea was not new. From the Read More
