New Years Resolution - 
 The best New Year's Resolution advice I have ever been given was to just make one. That's right one, "uno", only one, "solo uno". If after a couple of months you make some progress on one, you might think about another.

​Some of you know I really like the advice on Zen Habits.Net. especially the cheatsheet. 

The author writes this advice about how to change 1 habit:
"1. Write down your plan.2. Identify your triggers and replacement habits.
3. Focus on doing the replacement habits every single time the triggers happen, for about 30 days."

The rest of the "cheatsheet" is simply more detailed ways to do 1,2, & 3 successfully.

2016 Encuentro Seminarians with Frances Almaguer

Jan. 6th -  Seminarians on Saturday, January 6th we will host about 15 Episcopal Seminary students, from various Seminaries. Professors Al Rodriguez, Stephanie Ramirez, and Jay Alaniz bring divinity and counseling program students taking the January “Encuentro Course” to learn about Hispanic culture and ministry, as well as some realities of border life. They would like to have a chance to meet Christ Church Parishioners that Saturday at our Parish Hall.  Since it is the feast of the Epiphany, we will celebrate with a Pot Luck Lunch, and share Rosca de Reyes with them. Let us know you would like to bring a dish, and share your experiences with some of our future pastors.  Who knows, you might meet be meeting a future pastor for Christ Church?!
