Welcome to the Community Church of San Miguel de Allende

Everyone Is Welcome Here

Our congregation comes from diverse spiritual backgrounds — Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists, Catholics, and many others. What unites us is a commitment to open, joyful worship and genuine community.

No membership required. No prior church experience needed. Just show up.

Open to All 

You don't need to be a member of our church — or any church — to worship with us or participate in communion.

Rooted in Community

At least 50% of all donations go directly to community outreach projects in San Miguel de Allende.

Many Traditions, One Table 

Our Ministers-in-Residence are ordained in Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, UCC, Episcopal, and other traditions.

Abide

You are welcome exactly as you are.

God of the living and the dead, today we remember our ancestors who have gone before us in death. Their lives added to the richness of ours. Their gifts were gifts to us. Grateful for the enduring treasures of our memories and mindful that our love and relationships continue into the next life, draw us near to our ancestors in faith and love.Let us remember them with sweetness and happiness this day. Keep from our hearts the bitterness of our parting and replace it with the joy of anticipating eternal life with you and all your saints.

Amen

Come Sunday, we’ll celebrate the good news that whether we live or die, we belong to Christ who is Lord of life. And the following week, we will welcome our new Minister in Residence, Rev. Bruce Main.

Key Elements of a Day of the Dead Liturgy

• The Gathering & Welcome:

  • We acknowledge the communion of saints and the bridge of faith, hope, and love between the living and the departed.

• The Altar (Ofrenda) Setup:

  • We will place a ceremonial altar in the center of our worship space and incorporate traditional symbols with Christian meanings:

    • Marigolds (Cempasúchil): Represent the beauty and fragility of life.

    • Candles (Velas): Symbolize the light of Christ guiding souls and illuminating memory.

    • Bread of the Dead (Pan de Muerto): Reminding us of the Body of Christ and eternal nourishment.

    • Photographs & Names: Pictures of deceased loved ones and/or name cards will be placed on the ofrenda as signs of active remembrance.

    • Salt: Salt will be placed on a Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) ofrenda to purify the spirit and prevent the soul from corrupting or losing its essence during its journey between the worlds of the living and the dead.

• Holy Communion:

  • The sharing of Communion is the ultimate expression of the Communion of Saints, uniting the earthly church with those now with God.

Please reflect this week on the following Prayer for Dia de los Muertos and All Saints Day, which we will share in worship this coming Sunday.

Please join us this Sunday for a sermon reflection “Abide” on the Gospel of John 14. Here Jesus invites us to abide with him, in life, and in death, as he prepares his disciples for that time coming soon when he will transition from life to death to new life with God in glory.

For the first time here at the Community Church of San Miguel, we will blend the Christian traditions of All Saints Day (November 1) with All Soul’s Day (November 2, Día de los Muertos) with memorial elements, community remembrance, and liturgical symbols.

We'd Love to Meet You

Tell us a little about yourself and we'll be in touch. No pressure, no commitment.
