March 24 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street, “Saving the Past for the Future:  A Visitor’s Guide to Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark.” 

Cecilia Bell and Doug Dinwiddie, President and Vice President of the Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society, will present a Power Point video designed to introduce visitors to this historic landmark. The 18 minute video offers a concise overview of the 153 year history of the frontier military post and hospital that has been an important part of New Mexico and the local story ever since its founding. The presentation touches on events, personalities, triumphs and tragedies that weave the tapestry of Southwestern history, and hopefully inspires the viewer to learn more about story. The video will be a key attraction at the new Santa Clara/Historic Fort Bayard Visitors Center, which will open in the former Santa Clara National Guard Armory in March. This Sunday will be a Dedicated Offering in support of Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society.

This is a Family Program Sunday and during March in the UUFSC Children's Program, we continue our exploration of intangible gifts, as they relate to the first UU principle, the inherent worth and dignity of every person. When we gather for "The Gift of Learning Together" we will expand our discussion of the first UU principle, as we discover that everyone, regardless of age, has something to teach and something to learn. The Children's Program includes interactive conversation regarding the day's topic, along with arts and crafts or other related activities. Children 3-10 are invited to join in the fun.

There will be coffee and conversation after the service, and visitors are always welcome.
