by

By Rev. John Cullinan, pastor
and on behalf of the Board of Trustees
Unitarian Church of Los Alamos

The murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile this week, along with the murders of police officers in Dallas, should serve as a wake up call to the people of our nation that cycles of violence in our communities cannot be dismantled until we begin to examine the effects of historic racism imprinted into the systems of our American culture.

The call of the Black Lives Matter movement to awaken to systemic racism in our country and to end the disproportionate amount of violence committed against Read More

The truth is, there are a lot of times when it is hard to praise God.

by

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

Christianity 101.

“I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise” (Ps. 101: 1).

Too often we overcomplicate what God says or what Christianity is supposed to be about. We may get hung up in how to attract new people to our church and forget that all the world really needs is for us to live Christ-like lives.

The 101st Psalm is a great message of the simplicity of Christian living. Within this short work of David, you Read More
