Preaching at our Sunday morning worship during the weekend of #EAD2018 will be Most. Rev. Ricardo Ramírez, bishop emeritus of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Bishop Ramírez has been a tireless advocate for immigrants.

In 2017, the Las Cruces Sun-News named Bishop Ramírez Las Cruces’ “Distinguished Resident” for his decades of service to the community.

In addition, this year we are fortunate to have three talented music ministers to lead us in song and to contribute to other artistic aspects of #EAD2018:

• Rev. Tracy Howe-Wispelwey, Director of Restoration Village Arts,
• Natalie Serno, also known as “La Muna,” and
• Claire Hitchins, folk singer from Charlottesville, Va.
