What we’re about
Mountain Cathedrals is a group for people who would like to encounter God and build community in our sacred outdoor wilderness spaces. As we join together for monthly day hikes on the third Saturday of each month, we will build elements of worship (scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion) into the hiking experience, allowing our ancient Christian traditions and our current hiking and outdoor spaces to work together to point to the presence of God among us.
Mountain Cathedrals is a ministry of St. John's United Methodist Church, and hikes will be led by a United Methodist clergyperson. We are, however, committed to building community and connections across denominational lines, and as such, we are open and sensitive to the faith traditions and backgrounds of all participants.
Mountain Cathedrals is a re-birth of the former Worship in the Wilderness meetup.

Mountain Cathedrals Hike - Corrales Acequia and Bosque (South)
St. John's United Methodist Church (meet in east parking lot to carpool to trailhead), 2626 Arizona NE, Albuquerque, NM, USAfter several months far in the field, we'll be closer to home walking the south part of the Corrales Bosque and Acequia. Isaiah 43:19 declares, "Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." As we begin a new year in the church, and soon in the calendars we use everyday, let's consider what is, and can be, new.
Logistics: Meet at St. John's (East Parking Lot) at 8 AM or at Corrales Parks and Recreation (Jones Rd) at 8:40. Plan to be back to St. John's by 1 PM. Bring warm clothes and hearts. Easy to moderate (3.5 - 4 miles, level walking). Bring good hiking footwear, sun protection, lunch, water, a parka, and enthusiasm!
Please join us for this hike of meditation, wilderness, and time apart from our normal schedules.
Organizer: Mike Furnish, CLM, 505-440-7292; mdfurnish@comcast.net). Please RSVP, especially if meeting us at the trailhead. There is no cost other than sharing gas for carpooling.
Save the date: The next Mountain Cathedrals hike will be January 17th (location TBD - please send suggestions!).3 attendees
