Power outages are inconvenient, but they can be life-threatening, too.

When my dad was in his last years of life, he used a CPAP machine. The threat of a power outage was real and worrisome. Had the power gone out while he was sleeping, his sleep apnea could have degraded his memory more or interrupted his sleep so much that he was prone to accidents during the day.

Power outages are far more serious for residents with home dialysis machines, oxygen concentrators, and ventilators. We can’t control when power outages occur in the grid, but we can control how we prepare.

Customers of Xcel Energy can enroll in its Colorado Medical Assistance Programs. Once enrolled, customers who also live in wildfire risk areas – like here in Evergreen and Kittredge – may be eligible for the PSPS Backup Battery Rebate Program.

Customers of CORE Electric Cooperative can stay informed about power outages at www.CORE.coop/outage-center. Also ensure the contact information on your CORE account is up to date.

September is National Preparedness Month and a time to take small steps that can make a big difference in being prepared. By taking proactive steps before a disaster, we can contribute to the safety and security of our families, our community, and our nation.

Here’s an invitation to watch Season 2 of The Chosen on Wednesdays at 5pm at the church. Includes popcorn!

Stewardship - Trade Vendor List

On August 9th a presentation was made during the church service regarding development of a “Trade Vendor List”.  The Stewardship Team initiated this initiative as we thought it might represent a way for each of us to perform a service for others that required no manual effort, absolutely no cost to you and take maybe 15 minutes of time.   Well…. after 4 weeks we have received only 6 responses.   2 of those responses are from non-members.   Last year we had 47 member pledge  units.   Therefore, the  4 responses from members represents 8.5%.   In baseball terms that means we are batting .085!!!   Even in today’s world when hitters are considered superstars when they bat just .280….. we aren’t even close to that.   This is a chance to help your church family!    Surely we can do better than batting .085!   Please print the attached form, or pick one up at church, and take 15 minutes to fill the form out.   Let’s help each other!
