Hi, I’m Chesney Hoagland-Fuchs, and I’m reaching out to you to support our Borrego Springs community. We need more health care workers here! Several recent BSHS graduates are now in Nursing School. But, one will not be able to continue without our help. We all complain about the economy, let's not let it derail a career and take a (future) nurse away from us. *PLEASE DONATE TO MEET $4000 TUITION AND FEES FOR LOCAL TO CONTINUE NURSING SCHOOL* The Borrego Ministers Association has generously offerred to manage the fund and disburse to the student. Any funds recived after the goal is met will go directly to the BMA general fund. This vital organization works tirelessly to uplift our community through various initiatives that bring hope and support to those in need. Join me in making a positive impact today! Every dollar counts and helps us strengthen, and grow, the health of our community. Thank you for your generosity!

Coming Together in Gratitude Pastor Mateo Mamea opened the service with a call to give thanks, followed by an opening prayer from Rev. Michael Plekon. Their welcome set the tone for a meaningful evening of reflection. Readings, Music, and Reflections Scripture readings were shared by Cmdr. Dale Jones and Rev. David Madsen, with additional participation from Ellen Fitzpatrick and Diane Johnson . Pastor Mamea also offered the homily. Music added warmth to the service. Jennie and Gary Edwards performed “For the Beauty of the Earth,” and the combined choir, directed by Jinny Perrin , contributed a beautifully sung anthem. Voices From the Community Martha Deichler spoke about the Borrego Ministers Association, sharing its purpose, how it supports residents in crisis, and why its work is an important part of community life. Supporting Local Needs An offering was collected to support the year-round work of the Borrego Ministers Association, which provides emergency assistance for residents across Borrego Springs. A Shared Moment of Community The service ended with a final hymn and blessing, bringing together residents, visitors, and local faith leaders in a shared expression of gratitude and community spirit.
St. Barnabas Episcopal Church & Borrego Ministers Association When desert temperatures soar in Borrego Springs, heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous. Recognizing this urgent need, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church , in cooperation with the Borrego Ministers Association , launched the Emergency Air-Conditioning Program to protect vulnerable residents from life-threatening heat.
