When Ranja first came to the University of New Mexico, she was a young woman full of ideas but unsure exactly where life would lead her. “I did my undergrad at UNM,” she said, “and then I moved to Georgia for my Master’s. Life just kind of takes you where you need to be.”
Before participating at Luther House/The Open Table, Ranja had grew up hearing about the ministry through her church. “Honestly,” she admitted with a laugh, “I didn’t have a lot of expectations. I thought it would just be like Sunday school for grown-ups.”
What she found instead was a home that shaped her faith, her friendships, and her future.

Sun Lakes UCC collected toys for Maggie’s Place this Christmas. Maggie’s Place provides safe housing and a nurturing community for homeless pregnant women, empowering them to thrive throughout their lifetime. They aspire to be the premier service provider in Maricopa County to moms, babies and families, breaking the cycle of generational trauma to transform our community.
Maggie’s Place opened in 2000 by five young women with the core values of love, hospitality, community, and excellence. They have served over 1,200 moms and 700 babies during this time. As they have grown over the years, they have remained true to their values and mission while becoming a community that welcomes women from all faith traditions and walks of life around a common purpose.
Maggie’s Place operates five homes across the valley where they can house 34 moms and their babies at any given time. They also have one transitional housing apartment complex for women reunifying with their older children.
The members of Sun Lakes UCC are very proud that we could offer to help the women and children of Maggie’s Place this year at Christmas.
