Wow! Tonight Foothills received the 2018 Fort Collins Human Relations Award in the Non-Profit Organization category, which is to celebrate a “spirit of inclusiveness, giving and altruism that makes Fort Collins a better place for all people.” A few of our lay leaders were able to join the ceremony, but really the award was to the whole church, so Foothills….congratulations!!
As I said tonight…
“Our mission is to unleash courageous love, and that is a theological claim, which says that love is already here — courageous love is already here — and it is our job to unleash it. To leverage it and partner with it and let it transform us, our city, and far beyond.”
Thank you Fort Collins!
