Dear God, I pray, 
please bless my friends

Then when rest will come with nightfall
help us not forget to pray!

Dear Friend,

The chancel is the focal point of the sanctuary. While the cross is the central symbol in all churches, the artistic design in the sanctuary represents the creativity with which we hope to experience and share the faith.  Turquoise is a reminder of our distinctive Southwest flavor, and the large windows in the sanctuary give a wonderful view of the fabulous Red Rocks that reflect God's creative beauty in this area.
 
A "sanctuary" is literally "a safe place."  In the personal burdens we share, it is good to have a sacred space where we can feel safe.  It is also the purpose of this church to challenge us to a deeper understanding of the faith, and to live it more creatively and compassionately in a hurting world.

We welcome you to come and share the glory of God and shape our faithful response to God's love.

Rev. Nick Warner
 



THANK YOU!
It's been a great six months with our four pastors, Rev. Phyllis Averill, Rev. Arland Averill, Rev. Nick Warner and Rev. Tom Bush.  They have all done a super job and we are so blessed to have them as a part of our congregation. Lucky for us they are not going anywhere, but I'm sure they will be relieved to step down from their responsibilities and become one of us again. Be sure to let them know how much you appreciate what they have done.
 
Important Date

 

On Sunday, July 5th, we will welcome Rev. Matt Ashley as our new pastor.  Be sure to attend Sunday Worship at 9:30a.m. as this will be the first opportunity for many to meet Pastor Matt.  A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall.  See you there.
