Annual Boulder Cluster Spring Event Save the Date

On May 1, 2010 over 40 women came together at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Longmont for the annual Boulder Cluster Spring Event, with several women attending from First Lutheran.  Pastor Barb Lemke led us in an invigorating song and dance and presented “This is the Day which the Lord has made…What are you going to do about it?”  Intern Pastor Sarah Anderson shared pictures and stories from a trip to the Parliament of World Religions.  Attendees brought and exchanged May Baskets that were filled with candies, Bible verses, flowers,etc.  We concluded the event with a worship service and the induction of new cluster officers.


 

 

Fall 2010 WOMEN’S RETREAT at Rainbow Trail

September 9 - 12, 2010

“Spiritually Charged”

Put your feet up and unwind at this Fall Retreat! Sara Larson Woodruff joins us as the guest speaker.  Arrive at Rainbow Trail Thursday evening at 5:00 (plan on eating dinner here!), September 10, and begin getting to know the women around you. Friday and Saturday morning will begin with nutritious and delicious breakfasts, and then will move into morning worship. The morning and afternoon schedule for both Friday and Saturday will be open with time to stretch yourself physically and spiritually on the low and high challenge courses, rock climbing, seek out various hikes for the changing Aspens, or hang out with Chris and learn how to make some homemade goodies! Don't worry, there will be a massage therapist to rub out any soreness or relax any stressed muscles! You will have the option to fill your time with a nap, a good book, some hot cider on the front porch of Columbine, or just some quality personal time.
