Ask any questions you have about baptism
Receive prayer
Learn more about what this important step means
Interested? Sign up below or in the lobby. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Join us at 7PM on Wednesday, October 8th for dinner and incredible night of star gazing during the Draconid meteor shower.
Contact: Text “Star Gazing” to 970-667-8668 to RSVP, get location details, weather updates, and more.
Other Notes: Bring a jacket & comfy shoes. We’ll have dinner and a telescope available. Invitations available in the lobby.
We can’t plan for everything, but we can share what matters most with the people who matter most. Legacy Suppers is a monthly gathering where we share a meal and have meaningful conversations about preparing for the end of life with wisdom, faith, and love.
Through thoughtful discussions, practical resources, and expert-led presentations, we will explore essential topics such as: Health Care Wishes, Financial Planning, Estate Preparations, Burial, Service Arrangements, and More.
Too often, we’ve seen the stress and pain that comes when these conversations are left unspoken. But we’ve also witnessed the deep peace and blessing that thoughtful planning can bring. Taking time now to prepare is one of the most loving gifts we can offer our families.
Legacy Suppers is open to anyone 18 and older—because none of us know what life will bring, and it is never too soon to begin this important work.
We want to make sure we have enough food and something available for any dietary needs. Please RSVP below to save your spot and receive address information:

Tension. Just the word itself evokes the physical reaction of our muscles tensing. We avoid tense situations and try not to be too uptight. It would be nice to live by some simple principles that would allow us to live tension-free lives. But Jesus tends to challenge an oversimplified view of the world. He announces the arrival of his Kingdom on Earth but then enters on a donkey and dies on a cross. He teaches the disciples not to be “of the world” but says he does not ask for them to be taken “out” of it. He commands us to be perfect, like our heavenly father, and then turns around and says no one is good but God. Following Jesus seems to involve a lot of paradox, but if we are able to hold his teachings in tension, we can find a new path, what we call in the Vineyard, “the radical middle”.
400 years ago, Ignatius of Loyola crafted a genius way of prayer. His method, called The Daily Examen, helped a person reflect back upon their day and their life in terms of how one experienced God. It is both a challenging and comforting way to trace the movement of God in one’s life. This Great Annual Examen is based on Ignatius’ way of reflection and prayer.
So instead of making New Year Resolutions, join us for this simple journal exercise where you work through some questions to help you reflect on the past year and anticipate the next year to come. It’s called the “examen” because in this exercise we take an examination of how we’ve “done” in life—on the journey and in different aspects. In some ways, many of us will admit that this past year has “undone” us—we’ve felt spent, done or only surviving and perhaps barely surviving at that! However you reflect upon this past year, it’s our hope that you’ll have a GPS—a sort of marker that will help you discern where you are and how you are and where you want to go this next year.
Join us and Vineyards around the nation for our Advent Series: The Bright Valley.
“In the church, this is the season of Advent. It’s superficially understood as a time to get ready for Christmas, but in truth it’s the season for contemplating the judgment of God. Advent is the season that, when properly understood, does not flinch from the darkness that stalks us all in this world. Advent begins in the dark and moves toward the light—but the season should not move too quickly or too glibly, lest we fail to acknowledge the depth of the darkness. As our Lord Jesus tells us, unless we see the light of God clearly, what we call light is actually darkness: “how great is that darkness!” (Matt. 6:23). Advent bids us take a fearless inventory of the darkness: the darkness without and the darkness within.”
― Fleming Rutledge, Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…” or at least it will soon with your help!
