Upcoming Special Events

Pastor Keith’s 50th Ordination

Yes! Our good Interim Pastor Keith is celebrating 50 years of ordination! To reach this milestone is impressive enough, but to reach it and STILL be actively serving in a congregation is a step beyond! Please come celebrate with us as we lift up and give thanks for Pastor Keith and his ministry on Sunday, June 2, 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. A light lunch and dessert will be served. Please RSVP here. 

 

 

 Past Special Events

 

Recap of Our 2018 Mission Trip to Houston

 

Sunday, January 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room. Everyone is invited to hear about our trip and see pictures of our team of 15 persons from BLC and LOC that went to Houston in October, including all of the unanticipated excitement. Light refreshments will be available. Questions: please contact Bob Cotton (303-651-6563).

Summer BBQ 

Join us on Sunday, July 1 at 11:30 a.m. (immediately following the second service) for our summer barbecue. We'll have burgers, hot dogs, salad, chips, and hopefully some homemade icecream too. Please let us know that you'll be attending by signing up in the narthex. (If you wish to bring homemade icecream to share, please note that when you signup.) We do ask that you bring your own place settings to help cut down on the cleanup. This will be an excellent opportunity to be church together. Pastor Keith Prekker, our new interim pastor, will be in attendance.
