    Ten years later, I brought Bob, Laurie, and Gayle back to El Santuario De Chimayo and on a Sunday…read moremorning before area services. They sell small empty containers to fill with the Holy Dirt, but we left it at a dab or 2 on Bob's knee and Gayle's neck. So far, the hoped for miracle has not yet occurred. This time around there's a Visitor's Center that I don't remember from before. I stopped in and was greeted by a very friendly volunteer. They also had a bunch of religious art on sale by local folks, which were well done, but not really my style. The Main Sanctuary and the Side room (with the Holy Dirt) in back were what I remembered. The "dirt" found at the well (pocito) in the room is considered holy because in this spot, the crucifix of "Our Lord of Esquipulas" was found in 1810. All that being said, Laurie and Gayle remarked that the Spanish depiction of their Catholicism here was behaps too dark, somber, and bloody. I guess the portrayal of negative consequences does resonate with some folks.

    Visiting the Santuario de Chimayo was a beautiful spiritual experience. You could see the beauty in…read morethis place where we were able to participate in daily mass outside and got a wedding anniversary blessing from Father there. There's a lot to see from the chapels, dirt room, museum, and gift shop. We came early so parking was ok but I can see this place get crowded easily. I will say there were places that asked us not to take photos so please be remember it is a place of prayer.

    Blaze Christian Fellowship - Sunday services 8:30 and 10 am

    Let me start by saying I am a member of Blaze Christian Fellowship, and have been attending this…read morechurch for quite some time (over 5 years). I love this church! The pastors are awesome, and are without a doubt fully committed to preaching the Gospel in it's entirety. Their focus on theology is refreshing, to say the least. If you have kiddos, they have an awesome children's ministry with a staff that have a real heart for children! They break down the Gospel, and teach it to the kids at their level (I'm always blown away with how much Gospel application is taught! The understanding my 6 year old gets during Sunday school is incredible! He actually gets mad at us when we miss church. LOL!). There is a true sense of community at Blaze that extends far beyond the walls of the church building, a real sense that you are surrounded by people who actually care, and are willing to walk alongside you through your ups and downs, which brings me to my next point: Community Groups. Community groups are awesome! I can't understate how vital community groups have been to me, personally, in my walk with Jesus! However, this is a huge part of the church that is not experienced by attending a Sunday service. Unfortunately, many people will never understand how important community groups are. There is something special about getting together, sharing a meal, and discussing the sermon that was preached. It's encouraging and challenging. In closing, as a resident of Santa Fe, NM, I have witnessed and participated first hand in meeting needs in our community alongside the members and staff of Blaze. It's a great place to attend if you're looking for a Bible believing, Gospel-centered church that doesn't compromise the message to fit into any mold. PS - If you'd like to listen to a sermon or two before you actually attend, check out the website: www.blazeonline.org
