The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Thoreau

About this church

Thoreau's only meetinghouse in the directory sits at 29 E Navarre Blvd, with Ramah, about twenty-four miles off, home to the nearest other. The Red Cliffs Ward gathers weekly at 10 a.m., with the building open until 12 p.m. A ramped walkway, designated parking, a restroom equipped for wheelchairs and accessible seating are all part of the grounds. Records for the Red Cliffs Ward are kept by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which also maintains the site.

The opening hour combines hymns, prayers and the sacrament of bread and water with talks from ward members, and a second hour of classes comes right after, Primary included. There's nothing to pay, and no offering plate makes the rounds. This ward covers a wide stretch of northwestern New Mexico, since congregations are organized by geography rather than choice. Dressing formally isn't a requirement for anyone new to the building. Since the ward's calendar is set locally and reviewed periodically, a quick call before a first visit tends to pay off.
