We are opening our doors to as many groups as our new but small building will allow. Columbine High School's Debate and Speech team met here Monday. It felt so good to hear them laugh and cry and just be kids. Kids aren't using therapists as much as expected, but are turning to their churches and temples in greater numbers than expected. All the houses of faith in this neighborhood have seen their attendance double.
Life continues here.
I have the honor of our first wedding celebration for a lesbian couple tonight. Our sanctuary is filled with flowers and has a traditional flower-covered arch. We're a spiritual home that a great many would not have had 6 years ago. It matters very much that we are here. April 25, Sunday Today, as my people drove in to church for Sunday worship, they had to drive past the corner nearest this afternoon's memorial by the Governor of Colorado.
