New study group is forming. A new study group will discuss the book Dancing With Life by Phillip Moffitt. The group will probably have its first meeting in early February. Mary Young is organizing the group. If you are interested in participating, call her at 821-0031 or send email to nmranchmsn.com and give her your contact information. Here's more about the group in the group flyer.

Registration is open for retreat with Eric March 24-28, 2012. Eric Kolvig will join us for a low-cost residential retreat in Albuquerque this March. Please see the retreat flyer for more details and an application.
