UCCS Navs Enjoy Rocky Mountain Retreat

Fifty students and staff from UCCS joined 500 other Navigators from New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Our students LOVED being together in Estes Park, CO for our regional Navigators fall retreat. We heard great messages by Tom Yeakley to motivate and challenge us to live by faith in God's Word. We have seen phenominal growth this year and are grateful that God has allowed us the privilege of being a part of it all.

If you'd like to pray for us, would you pray that God would raise up more student leaders? We believe that's what the Navs at UCCS are about - Asking "the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:38

Blizzard '06

John and his new bride Melissa are home from Florida - just in time to play in the snow!
Wow! We've been hammered by the best snow storm in memory! Joy's flight from L.A. was cancelled, so she DROVE all the way to Colorado Springs. Her husband Joe was already here on Nav business, so now we're all here for a fun, snowy, white Christmas.

I'll be home for Christmas

Yea - All of the kids are coming home for Christmas!

This has been a different experience for us this year. Not only do we have three married children, but two of them are farther away than we've ever had to experience. John and his new bride Melissa will be joining us from Florida. Joy and her husband Joe will travel from California.

Of course we are grateful that Kristi and her husband Jens, as well as David and Paul will all travel from Fort Collins (about 2 hour drive). Amy will be so glad that there will be more than just "old people" to talk to.

All of us gathered for Joy and Joy's Wedding in July.
