harvest fest 09

Well, after a two week delay due to weather, we finally had Castleview’s second Harvest Fest and it was a terrific day. There were brand new games, a cream-pie-in-the-face-auction, incredible food and so much more fun stuff. Every thanksgiving we try to help out families in the church who may be struggling financially and at […]

castleview 3 v 3 tournament

Our church put on our first 3 v 3 basketball tournament for the youth in Castle Rock, CO. We’re trying to get a youth group established and wanted to have an event that would let kids know about our church. The tournament ran through Friday and Saturday and we had about 90 teens compete. Everything […]

I was trying to think if I had ever been to a baseball game before, and I think I went to one when I was a kid, but I don’t remember anything about it. Saturday a few from our church went to the Rockies game at the beautiful Coors stadium and here are a few […]

I had a face painting booth and […]

This is fast becoming one of my favorite shots of all time. Chris took this at the opening service of Castleview Baptist this week. It was a wonderful week and it was amazing to see God blessing. It’s great to have some time to breathe and clean the apartment this week… Check out the facebook […]

I just post this to let you know that yes, I am still here and yes, I still care about my poor, neglected blog. I’ve been busy, today with baking. The apartment is full of smells of squares, brownies and cookies that I’ll freeze for next week. Opening services start Wednesday! I can hardly believe […]
