Sheologie’s Open House is this weekend, July 30-31, to commemorate the launch of their two upcoming Bible studies and what is to come in 2023. Their website says, “At Sheologie,  we love to explore The Art of Being Female. View the offices and meet the ladies who pull it together behind the scenes. There will be face paint and a space for your kids to play while you get to enjoy food, music, outdoor games, and a picnic area. Swing by the Osuna campus (4001 Osuna Rd. NE, Albuquerque, NM  87109) after service Saturday, July 30 at 7:30 pm or after both Sunday morning services on July 31.” Lenya said, “Sheologie is the study of being a Godly woman. Just imagine if women stopped competing and actually helped each other succeed. Just think about a world where women are for women!”

Shelley Repp is the Executive Director of the New Mexico Dream Center. She describes today what human trafficking looks like nationally and globally from a labor and sex trafficking point of view. Shelley said, “There are absolutely systems in the United States that contribute to human trafficking. The United States is involved in all three aspects of human trafficking. We produce trafficking victims internally, importing trafficking victims, and exporting trafficking victims. The United States is part of all three of these aspects.”

What we want to do is find what is best to meet people where they are at.”

The Gibson Health Hub, Gateway Center, Safe Outdoor Spaces, and city services to assist the “unhoused” are our discussion topics. Dr. Holguin also invites non-profits, businesses, and individuals to help come up with creative solutions.
