Greetings, Calvary,
It has been 25 Sundays of digital worship, 26 Sundays since worship was open to folks in the Sanctuary, and 28 Sundays since I was in worship with you before going on parental leave. That is exactly half the Sundays in a year that we have not been together - while I know we have lived it, it is still hard to believe. Read More…

Sept. 8 – Oct. 26 – Virtual American Baptist Churches of the Rocky Mountains (ABCRM) Annual Gathering is Virtual this year & FREE!

The theme of the ABCRM Gathering is RUACH: Breath – Wind – Spirit. The current pandemic has taken our breath away, often literally. We see the unrest and uncertainty in our nation. We hear the "breaths" of those shouting for justice in our land. And, we hear the whispers upon the wind of our prayers for God to intervene and to lead us...God’s people. And so, in a time of social distancing and precautions, we're gathering virtually this year. With it, comes new challenges, but also new opportunities. More people - from further distances - can participate in this virtual Gathering. We can join together in our homes and in our churches, remembering the Hebrew word used to describe "breath, wind, and spirit" - RUACH - a reminder that God's Spirit is still at work in our world! O God, may you breathe upon us as we remember your name and celebrate your goodness!

The Gathering is FREE to ALL who want to participate, however you do need to register ASAP. Register Here. What comes with your FREE registration?

Hello Calvary!

I write to you as Julian is napping and Ian is working in the office. This has become the norm for me - doing focused sprints of work while my little one naps or Ian is with him. We refer to it as the pandemic parenting shuffle. Working fulltime and taking care of Julian fulltime has been a nonstop source of learning how to work as efficiently as possible, prioritizing tasks by what can be interrupted and what cannot so I can stack the non-interruptible tasks on Tuesdays or Thursday afternoons when Ian is point parent with Julian or after Julian goes down for the night.
