IF:GATHERING

And then there was the caramel apple bar, of course.

Mission Trip to Cortez, Colorado

A hot week in Cortez, Colorado

Serving. Fun. Sweating. Weed pulling. Loving.

Care Portal Partnership

November

Since partnering with CarePortal just three months ago, we have responded to 75 requests and spent nearly $9000 to bless foster families  with bunk beds, new tires and a lot of new clothes.

Not to brag on you (okay, maybe a little), that’s one of the fastest starts of any of the 19 churches in El Paso County.

Yeah … your generosity is astounding.

So that about wraps it up. What a full, beautiful, amazing year!

All this is because of you. Your unending generosity and faithfulness allow us to do what we do. Thank you!

We cannot wait to see what this year holds for us!
