From Fr. Gary: This island earth, our fragile home . . .
At Colorado's diocesan Clergy Conference in early May, as part of our closing Eucharist, we were invited to recall/renew our baptismal vows. I’ve done this countless times; I have the service pretty much memorized. So I was surprised when I found myself responding “I will, with God’s help!” to the question: "Will you cherish the wondrous works of God, and protect and restore the integrity of all creation?”
Appreciative Living Circles to be offered beginning July 8
What do you want most in your life? —and— How do you create it? You’ve heard Appreciative Inquiry (“AI”) mentioned from the pulpit, in meetings and perhaps elsewhere. The strategies and techniques of AI can translate into one’s every-day life as well! If you are interested in the answers to the questions above, you may find participation in a four-week “Appreciative Living Learning Circle” a wonderful summer exercise.
Season Five Music with a Mission Angel Sponsorships being accepted during the month of June
As most of you know, Music with a Mission is only possible because of your generous donations (Angel Sponsorships) which fund the many costs of our series – i.e. artist fees, advertising, licensing and administrative costs. Because our parishioners fund the yearly cost of the series, we are then able to give all proceeds collected at each concert to our mission partners.

From Fr. Gary: With open arms
The Daily Office Lectionary’s gospel reading for today (I‘m writing this on April 15) was John 12.9-19. It is John’s version of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. In John’s telling of the story, the crowd that gathered to honor Jesus was there because of the reports that had circulated about Jesus’ raising of Lazarus from the dead.
