This morning we sang for the worship service at Montview Road Presbyterian Church. They had a capacity crowd, and the choir sounded magnificent with their pipe organ. They have an excellent music program, and similar to our church, music is a principal part of their ministry. They were so appreciative of our kids and the counselors for God’s Light! I would love to go back their again.
They had a picnic to celebrate the completion of their capital funds campaign. They’re raising money to do some renovations to their church and update wiring, plumbing, and other infrastructure; and to fund local missions. Interestingly, they’re trying to raise almost the exact same amount that we will need to raise for our planned capital improvements: $7,500,000.
After the picnic we rode to Cinnamon Assisted Living in Longmont, CO. Our connection there was Sabra Jewel, who was a GL member in the early 90’s, I think. Sabra used to work for United Way, and liked the facility, so she called to get us a contact. We were able to perform for many of the residents, gave away a bunch of CDs, and even pulled some weeds in their flower bed before we headed back to the buses.
This evening we bused to Boulder to grab dinner with our small groups, and then rode down the hotel near the Denver Airport.
Tomorrow we will travel up over the Great Divide and then down into Pagosa Springs, CO, where we will perform at Pagosa Springs UMC. Sabra’s husband, Mike, said the drive into Pagosa Springs has some breathtaking scenery.
