Invitation to Earth Sabbaths throughout NM 
Our times call for prayer, building community and engagement in caring for creation. NMIPL is initiating once a month Earth Sabbath events and would love to have volunteers to coordinate this simple and meaningful prayer and community experience in local areas.
We have a general format to follow which allows for creativity. Already we are planning Earth Sabbaths in Albuquerque and Gallup. Contact info@nm-ipl.org if you are curious or would like to initiate this simple program in your area.
