Sermon Inspiration/Instruction
Interested in giving a sermon one day? Leslie Wright believes everyone has a least one sermon in them! She and Reverend Chip can help you as you prepare your sermon and hopefully deliver it. This endeavor will require a few one-hour classes with a small group. Joining the classes doesn’t mean you are required to give a sermon — just work on one.
If interested, please email Leslie. Once participants are identified, a time and location that is convenient for all will be determined.

If any of you are considering buying or selling a home, or know someone who is, I’m offering to donate half my net commission from any transaction originating from a Prairie member. The funds will be donated directly to Prairie in your name. As you know, home prices have doubled in recent years (along with real estate commissions), so I’m happy to make this offer on an ongoing basis. I’ve worked as a Denver realtor for 15 years and have been in the top 5-10% of HomeSmart agents over the past 3 years. I’d be honored to assist with any buy or sell transaction in the metro area. I also offer free advice or guidance on anything real estate related, so please reach out anytime if I can help.
Please email Joanna to learn more!
