We thank Thee most humbly,

O gracious Lord, with fervent hearts bowing before Thee
for bountiful blessings received this day,
bestowed through Thy infinite mercy.
O Lord, Thou has blessed us abundantly;
amid our dear friends, dost provide our needs.
O Father, we praise and extol Thee.
-SHZ 437 v. 1

We held our first service Sunday evening.

Many of us arrived early!  Eager to find our new spots.


These guys are usually the last ones to sit, they also claimed seats pretty early!

The little ones were sitting or standing with a look of wonder in their eyes.

Maybe this one wasn't. :)  I'm pretty sure she was a bit mad!!


















Words cannot describe the feelings of sitting and listening or singing the first hymn...


All the hours, hard work, disagreements and forgiveness, and new friendships coming from this past year, poured into this first opening song. 

To our blest Creator thankful praises flow.  
Oh, how great His mercy who doth gifts bestow.
He doth show our pathway through His word divine.
Through His precious promise souls have peace sublime.
Thank you, Lord, for blessing to Thy children's suffering,
all Thy gifts abundant.

Praise the Lord, O Zion, your defender here.
Worship with devotion your Creator dear.
Though Thy throne is glorious, high and heavenly, 
souls distressed are granted blessedness from Thee-
thank you, Lord, for blessing to Thy children's suffering, 
all Thy gifts abundant.
-SHZ 353 













The Lord, my God, be praised!  My God who lives forever,
to whom the heavenly host sings glory, praise and honor.
The Lord, my God be praised, in whose great name I boast,
God Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
-SHZ 331 v. 4


God has blessed our congregation here in CO. 

We thank Thee most humbly O gracious Lord.
