Rev. Pamela Shepherd passed away late last night, October 25. We hold her Taos UCC congregation, community, and especially Pam’s family and friends in our prayers.

"Her transition was gentle, and Nancy and Cid were at her side. After several years of illness and uncertainty, God granted her peace and as much comfort as was possible in these last few weeks. A memorial service will be held in the next couple of weeks." –Jamarah Hayner

Conference Minister Rev. Dr. Bill Lyons offers this prayer:

Loving God, thank you for Pamela's life and ministry, for all the ways she inspired and cared for us, and for her leadership in both the Church and the community. For her, release from a painful, broken body and entering into Your everlasting care is complete healing. We grieve for ourselves, "not as ones who have no hope, for we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and God will bring with Jesus all who fall asleep in him.” Receive Pamela, Loving God, into your presence as a lamb in your own flock, a sheep of your own fold, a daughter of your redeeming. Grant to her the joy of hearing you say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." As you hold her in gentle hands until the day our hope is realized in Christ Jesus, also hold us in your care.

A memorial service for Pam will be held on Saturday, November 13th, at 10 AM at First Presbyterian Church of Taos (215 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, Taos, NM 87571). There will be a Zoom option for those who can't join in person: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/964597068
