3 Easter Offering for Marshall Fire Victims’ Fund
Our Easter Offering will head to Grace Commons Church’s assistance fund for victims of the Marshall Fire in Boulder County. The Marshall Fire began on December 30,2021, and destroyed 1084 structures, making it the most destructive fire in Colorado history. Among homes destroyed were those of several staff members and families at Grace Commons Church, our sister ECO church in Boulder. Please give generously as you are able.
4 Easter Brunch is potluck style
We invite you to create your favorite brunch-style dish and bring it to share on Easter morning. Without a Fellowship Team right now, we have no one to cook as we normally do, but some volunteers have agreed to come set up and serve drinks. We just need to provide the goodies.
5 Our 2022 Youth Mission Trip
We head this summer to Del Norte, July 10-14 (Sunday through Thursday), to serve their community by helping out with maintenance projects at Pioneer United Church and nearby homes. In the evenings, we’ll worship and explore the area. The trip is open this year to middle schoolers (currently 6th-8th grade) who have been active in worship or youth group.
