Pastor Leading Adult Class
A terrific group of almost twenty adults are currently engaged in a study of "progressive Christianity." The text is a book by Professor Delwin Brown. Pastor Conner is the teacher. The sessions meet every Sunday at 8:45 in the Boulevard Room, and will continue through the end of the summer.
Other Events
- July 12, Deacons meet at 9:30, Trustees at 11:00
- Due to summer vacation, the Youth Group will not meet at their regular time.
- Pastor Conner will be on vacation, August 11 — August 24. However, David will remain in town and will still be available in case of illness or other urgent needs.
Vote By Mail
Our elected officials are urging us to vote by mail this year. The main reason is that the turn-out is expected to be the largest in history, and there will be very long lines at the polls on election day. Also, some of us still have doubts about the accuracy of electronic voting machines. To make sure that you receive a mail-in ballot, you can fill out a form requesting one and send it to your county clerk and recorder. The form also includes a page with the addresses of all Colorado county clerks. Click on this link to download and print the necessary form.
