BLAST is a Blast!

Calling all kids! Sunday School is a BLAST! Children in grades pre-k through 5th are invited to join us during worship to gather where they will learn a Bible story that follows the lectionary readings for the day. During BLAST, they will spend time with 2 adults learning the story, sharing and praying together.
Join us!
Rehearsal is canceled this Sunday, October 26th for Trunk or Treat. We will continue to the normal schedule after that!

CAMP REGISTRATION!
Thinking About Summer—Yes, Already!
Even though fall is in full swing, I’m already looking ahead to Summer 2026! I’ve got lots of camp and retreat dates for you—some are just heads-up, others already have registration opening soon.
Camp has been a huge part of my faith journey, and I encourage everyone (yes, even adults!) to attend a camp or retreat. Since I’m not a Colorado native, I’ve included info not just for Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp, but also for two other amazing Lutheran camps outside the state.
Rainbow Trail registration opens Nov 1, and spots go fast! I (and maybe Kelly) will be at Rainbow Trail for Intros, Juniors, and Confirmation weeks.
If you’re up for a farther adventure, my family usually attends Family Camp 2 at Camp Nawakwa (PA)—and we'd love to have familiar faces join us! Summer '26 will mark our 17th year there.
Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. I’d love to talk more about camp!
Thanks,
Thomas
Director of Faith Formation
