Leap Year

Yes, we have a February 29 this year. Although, when I think about it, it seems like we "leap" over that day for 3 out of 4 years, and this year we're lingering rather than leaping... English is such a funny language.

By the way, if you're looking for a new resource for prayer and reflection during Lent, you might want to try out this "Lenten toolbox" for "adjusting your focus and supporting your soul."

Game Night, the Metro District Annual Celebration, and the Highlands Youth Chili Cook-off were all wonderful this weekend. I managed not to take home any chili, which is only a blessing because I ate so much on Sunday! We have some good cooks in our congregation!

This week is a little slower, but we still have a work day this Saturday if you are feeling motivated to help the Trustees clean and paint the Associate Pastor's office on the 3rd floor (and a few other fun tasks for the taking with the bribe of donuts and coffee!). Sunday in worship we will have Holy Communion and explore the story of Jesus healing a man born blind.

Next week, prepare for Parents' Night Out on Friday, March 7 (please contact the church office if you would like to volunteer!), and a Snowshoeing Trip on Saturday, March 8 - a good opportunity to get out and enjoy Colorado's winter wonderland one last time before spring melts it all! Snowshoes can be rented from local sporting goods stores for $10-18/day, and we'll meet in the church parking lot at 8am to carpool/caravan.

Visitors, guests, neighbors, strangers, and new friends are always welcome!
