Registration is Open for Common Ground on the Border

January 16–18, 2025

The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ

17750 S. La Cañada Drive, Sahuarita, AZ 85629

This year’s theme is “From Border to Belonging: A celebration of commitment, compassion, and community across the US/Mexico borderlands.”

The United States-Mexico borderlands has always been a beautiful mix of culture, language, cuisine, economies, and people. It has also been a place of struggle, high and low temperatures, a fragile environment, and the push and pull of immigration. The Borderlands is the perfect place to explore the arts, touch the culture, and have deeper conversations about the complicated issues that collide here. We hope you will come and explore with us all the possibilities.

Common Ground on the Border canceled, EXCEPT for lectures

From Church of the Good Shepherd UCC:

It is with much regret that we must cancel a large portion of Common Ground on the Border this year. However, we will still offer the border lectures on Saturday morning (January 15). We will be able to have some present on our patio and we'll offer these lectures on Zoom as well. We will also be able to offer a concert on the patio at a time of day when temperatures will be suitable.
