Behind the altar there is a large wall of glass with a spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains. I took the photo this past Sunday just before the early morning service. I was struck by the con...

Flower Power Galore This flower arrangement graced the table in the lobby of Columbine Unity Church in Boulder Colorado last Sunday. The variety of shapes and colors are spectacular.
