Wow, what an unforgettable Independence Day! As the Truckee 4th of July parade wrapped up right outside our doors, our front lawn and sidewalk came alive. To say it was jam-packed would be an understatement - we had hundreds of people at our door enjoying refreshments and taking a breather in the shade. One of the absolute highlights was watching generations of families line up to participate in our historic tradition of ringing the church bell!

A Massive Thank You to Our Volunteers!
An outreach this lively doesn't happen without an amazing team. A huge, heartfelt thank you goes out to every single volunteer who stepped up to make this day possible - from setting up tables and handing out refreshments, to welcoming neighbors and helping kids safely ring the bell. You embodied true warmth and made our community feel genuinely at home!

Missed the fun or want to relive the day?

Thank you again, church family, for filling our sidewalk with friendly faces and making this 4th of July one for the history books!

If you’ve driven or walked past the church campus recently, you might have noticed some exciting brightness on our block! The Sipes Parsonage is officially sporting a beautiful, fresh coat of paint (we're almost done!).

To create a more unified and welcoming presence in our community, the parsonage has been painted to perfectly match the distinct, historic colors of Church of the Mountains. This update not only protects and preserves the building for years to come, but it also brings a wonderful sense of harmony to our church grounds.

A Community Effort

Projects like this are a true testament to the care and stewardship of our church family. A huge thank you goes out to everyone involved in organizing, supporting and executing this project. Your hard work keeps our entire campus beautiful, functional, and ready to serve our neighbors.

Next time you are here for Sunday service, a Front Porch Concert, or just passing by during the week, be sure to take a look at the parsonage and celebrate this wonderful face-lift with us!

Our newest community tradition, the Front Porch Concert, brought the neighborhood together yet again on our Parsonage front porch during Truckee Thursday. Megan Lacy's music was incredible - she was even joined by her friend Justin Eubanks on the mandolin! Mocktails continue to be a hit!

We’ve put together a quick highlight video of the event. Click the link below to watch!

Thanks for making it such a memorable, beautiful evening - we can't wait for the next one next Thursday and every Truckee Thursday this summer!

Judy Jensen, the group leader welcomes everyone to participate. 

We read and discuss the books we have chosen in an informal discussion and look forward to spending time and sharing our faith with one another. We pray as an introduction to our study—and we close with prayer.

Our group are also members of the Prayer Net and welcome requests that come to us through the larger church body.

Any questions? Reach out to Judy at 530-448-6474 or church email comumctruckee@gmail.com
