RevBobLaValleeJuly 30, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street  – “What’s So Bad About Being Woke”

In this video sermon from last January, “What’s So Bad About Being Woke?” the Rev. Bob LaVallee will speak about “Wokeness” which seems to be easily dismissed by some, but in an era of growing intolerance, holding to our progressive values is more important than ever.

Rev. Bob LaVallee is from Buffalo, NY and has lived in many different places. He was an artillery officer in the Marine Corps, served as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan, and trained as a chaplain at the VA in New York City. Prior to the ministry, he drove ice cream trucks, lead bike tours, managed a homeless shelter, and did a lot of nonprofit management. He was a founding member of the Buffalo, NY chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice.

Santa Clara Mercado

By Molly Swan

What makes a human community? Among other things it is a sense of place. What makes a caring community? Sharing the diverse bounty of that place.
The newly re-convened Santa Clara Mercado reflects the richness of cultures which currently abide in our region. At the weekly Wednesday markets from 4-6 in the brightly painted booths at the corner of Ft. Bayard and Oak Streets there is a sense of joy in sharing the gifts of this place we call home.

One can find freshly picked fruits, vegetables, and herbs from local gardens, foraged edibles in season such as mesquite flour, eggs, garden seedlings to plant, beeswax from local bees, hand crafted soaps, and local art as well as delicious prepared ethnic food such as Fry-Bread and Indi-an Tacos and New Mexican Tamales and Fried Pies.

At the Mercado friends hug neighbors and make new acquaintances in this celebration of this place in time. I wonder why is this such a happy coming together like a special party each week? Is it because it is "The Real Thing" - a gathering together and showing all together the abundance of what is quietly happening in our individual homes and businesses.
