Colorado Rocky Mountains

We were at 10,000 ft in the Rockies today. The views were spectacular and the weather gorgeous. After driving into Rocky Mountain National Park as far as the roads were open, we went into Estes Park, a little town and enjoyed poking around. Then drove back to Denver, taking a little time to see Boulder and the University of Colorado.

Elk in the Rockies

As we drove down the road, a whole herd of elk were in the meadow. Several buck had large antlers. It was very cool.

I'm at a conference in Denver this week. Before the conference began, Kevin and I had a chance to go to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park. The sun was shining and the temperatures were just above above freezing. It was gorgeous, and when the gusts of wind came up, it was COLD! But rather exhilerating. We parked the car at Bear Lake and hiked (256 steps) to the frozen lake. Since we didn't have snow shoes, we didn't venture any further.

Gardner Community Center is a really great facility that provides a lot of services to the people in their community. As a church, we are really glad to be forming an alliance with the Community Center in order to help people in need in our community.

People from my church, New Life, and Gardner Community Center joined together on Saturday to paint a house. We had a great time working on the house together. There were about 25 folks. It was really a great way to give back to our community. The house is located at 333 Virginia. Here's a few photos.

We had awesome seats and were invited to stand down in front of the stage which was really fun as well.

We went to see Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman in concert last Sunday night. The Event Center was packed and we had a great time. I took a couple of photos with my phone.
