Over the years, hundreds of meals have been delivered to members and

FYI

The smaller Lenten banners in the sanctuary are designed and handmade by
Christians from the Tujia minority people group who live in a mountainous
region of Southern China. Their artwork utilizes the Guizhou traditional batik
craft to portray Biblical scenes featuring local minority dress. Depicted are
Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the washing of his
disciples' feet on Holy Thursday, his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane that
night, and his crucifixion on Good Friday.
Snail Mail

Hello Stacy, Richard, Sue and everyone at Heart of the Rockies,

was so wonderful to share our organization's mission with all of you and we are so
appreciative that you took the time to listen. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our
neighbors and look forward to hopefully finding a time to see you all again.
You're a blessing to us!
