I was able to celebrate with Support Inc. and their newest location for day services. Support Inc.'s value statement is this: "Every day is a day to thrive. That’s why our mission is simple: to serve intellectually and developmentally disabled clients in innovative, personalized and cost-effective ways." A great organization to have in Greeley supporting our community of adults who are intellectually and developmentally disabled. Pictured here are Brian Farestad, Vice President of Operations and Eric Nielsen (son of a Lutheran pastor and fully aware of Thrivent), Senior Director of Operations.

What a great weekend. On Saturday we had the privilege of being hole 6 sponsor at the Genesis Project of Northern Colorado's golf scramble. The Genesis Project of Northern Colorado offers assistance to single mothers who need assistance to gain self-sufficiency and independence. On Sunday after morning worship, my wife and I, hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls at Rocky Mountain National Park. Like I said, what a great weekend.
