The Ask a Moms in Action
This past week I got to see our Pulpit Rock Ask a Moms in action at UCCS. These ladies visit the campus about twice a month to hand out snacks, love, and mom advice to any student that is interested.

It’s Black Friday. If you’re reading this, it’s probably safe to assume you’ve opted out of the usual Black Friday Christmas shopping frenzy. And if that’s true, then you’ll be excited to read this post about our Holiday Pop Up Shop!
Last year in late October I found myself wanting to do something to celebrate Advent. Something other than a chocolate advent calendar or simply waiting until my girls (then 9 months and 2 ½ years old) were “old enough to understand Advent.” That was when a fellow Pulpit Rock mom introduced me to Truth in the Tinsel.
As Christians, we celebrate the first arrival of a man not from our world … Jesus Christ. Return with us this Advent season, as we put ourselves back in the steps of those first followers of God, watching, waiting, wondering.
This has been an extraordinary week in America. There is a lot of fear and anger. In many ways our nation feels more fragmented and divided than it did a week ago. Setting aside political affiliations for a moment, how do we walk as Christ followers in these days? We pray for our nation and ourselves.
A couple weeks ago we threw a party. And there were pumpkins. And people. And paint. A power tools. It was pretty rad.
We have been in our new sanctuary for a month. Each week we get to enjoy the newness, the beauty, and the deep rest that follows a time of displacement. However, there’s so much we don’t want to forget. We have so many stories to tell. So we’re sharing them here in an effort not to forget the many great and wonderful things God did for us this year.
I was was recently reminded how many little things – things that I never think about – are needed to keep life smooth and functioning. Things like lightbulbs. Pulpit Rock Church exists to help people journey with God. And we can’t do that without lightbulbs.
As Thomas has been leading us through Ecclesiastes, I have been giving thought to how disruptive discontentment is. I have found when I allow it to take root, it ends up being all consuming. But there is always a path of joy.
This is election season. Divisiveness and disagreement are running rampant. Sides are being taken, walls are being built, families are being divided. Social media is ripe with conflict. Unity is scarce. That’s what makes what recently occurred in Colorado Springs so incredible.
In 1 Timothy 2, Paul urges us to pray for – and give thanks for – our leaders and those in authority over us. So we do. Join us as we pray this prayer each day until the election.
Luke Wrobleski is our Facilities Director. He lead our church through our 365 day auditorium renovation. For the last year, he practically lived at church, putting in literally countless hours to make our new sanctuary a reality. In the process, God was doing something great in him.
