Coming to Colorado
- We (John and Kelly) will be flying to Colorado September 18-24. John will be officiating at a former youth member's wedding. We hope to use some of our time to connect with those of you in Colorado, so we'll let you know as we pull together our schedule. Melissa will be staying with the kids at home since they started school on August 19. Please pray for our time in Colorado - that we would be an encouragement to others as we share what God is doing around the world.
