Senator Martin Heinrich and former Senator Tom Udall first introduced M.H. Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic Rivers Act named after the late. legendary defender of a wild Gila River, in May 2020. The bill will need to be passed out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee before it heads to the Senate floor for a full vote of passage.

 Luke Koenig of New Mexico Wild will describe the process to getting a Wild and Scenic River Designation and talk about what a Wild and Scenic River Designation does. Koenig will explain why we have this system and what it means for the future of the Gila River.

 Luke Koenig is a grassroots organizer for the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, based in Silver City.

 There are speakers on the patio if you wish to listen to the service outside.

 Childcare is available every Sunday. Zoey Cronin will lead a formal children's program on second and fourth Sundays.  

 Children are welcome to participate on any Sunday, but they will get the most out of the program if they attend second and fourth Sundays somewhat regularly. Family adults may stay for the children's program or attend the adult program. Children are encouraged to bring a small item that represents someone or something they are grateful for that week.
