Kirk Enjoys a Mountain Weekend

Dwight, Sharon and Kirk spent a couple of relaxing days with friends Jon & Danny Yeagley at their cabin near Fairplay early in August. We walked, talked, ate, talked, walked and laughed. Everyone experienced Kirk as a lapdog!

Steve and Beth Head for Belen, New Mexico!

Beth and Steve are looking forward to a lot of firsts in the next few months: Steve's first solo pastorate, Beth and Steve's first home, AND ... their first child, due in January!! Steve's first Sunday at First will be August 27th.

Ghost Ranch 2006!

Dwight, Sharon, and granddaughter Kyra enjoyed another wonderful week together at Ghost Ranch in July. Dwight used his study time to write about 20 sermons - enough to get him through the end of year. Sharon took a class on the parables told in Luke 15 - The Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, and Lost (Prodigal) Son - a class that challenged her and also brought her some peace. Kyra found a friend and they spent the week having fun and enjoying the beauty that is Ghost Ranch. Sharon climbed Chimney Rock again and Kyra says she wants to join her in the hike next year. Steve and Beth also joined us for a couple of days and we all celebrated Steve's 30th birthday during a dinner at Rancho de Chimayo.
