COVID 19 Updates
There has been some understandable confusion as Colorado continues to see COVID cases rising, especially with the Governor’s new mandate to limit social gatherings again. Please note: the mandate does not affect our church gatherings, which are still limited in Pitkin County to 50. We continue to hold services, safely and with all mandatory precautions and guidelines in place. Please join us as you are able! 

  • The sanctuary will be cleaned and disinfected between services
  • The Creekside room will be available for alternative seating options; first come first served and social distancing required
  • An advanced air filtration system has been installed in worship areas and additional filtration units are arriving soon
  • Thank you for loving your neighbor by following COVID guidelines
  • Please continue to follow all the safety guidelines and RSVP for both the 9am and 10:30am services
Last Sunday's Message: Bring it to LIFE
Last Sunday Robert spoke about The Election. Give this some consideration...
  • What political issues get under your skin?
  • How do you see people who feel differently about these issues?
  • Is this how Jesus wants you to see people?
  • How will you show up over the next few days and years ahead if your candidate of choice wins? Loses?
The Chapel is made up of people from all different backgrounds and with many differing views. What unites us is our shared love for Jesus. Enjoy this beautiful piece from Paul & Micha, "With One Voice" by Matt Redman and Steven Curtis Chapman.
Guidance, Meditation & Prayer

Holy Ground
spiritual devotions for hope, healing and contemplative practice
A contemplative walk….

We love not to receive love in return, but because it is the divine nature of love to give, to pour itself out, to surrender to the gift. We surrender not to become something but to open ourselves to the gift. In silent prayer we identify with this gift and become channels for this immense energy. This is how the world will be transformed by Christ.

The Gift of Our Being

We want to become something greater, but until we have unfurled-
our alpha and omega, our origin and destiny-
we may remain hopeless and lost between two worlds.
We might never know the gift of our true complexity.

It often seems to be, of some lost paradise we reminisce.
What if it were more simply an awakening?
A seed that contains our spirit of greatness and differentness?
Formed by God into our being.

Do we regrettably let this seed go unnourished, decay and rot?
Losing all the information it contained and everything it symbolized.
Or do we return to the roots of the original thought?
The gift so carefully consecrated and prized.

This gift cannot be grasped by the mind-
And will never be an object of any kind.
