You Don’t Get to Choose Who…

The Church of the Interlude:

Chapel of the Interlude is a fitting name for a church in the middle of a narrow, winding canyon.

In 1969, benefactors built the intimate wood-paneled structure to provide an oasis next to one of the busiest roads leading to Rocky Mountain National Park.

But in 2013, a raging river between Estes Park and Loveland, Colo. deposited mud, sticks and debris inside the chapel’s Fellowship Hall. After stripping down the walls and carpet to remove mold and water damage, about 40 of its members have returned, including Harry Fiechtner.

“It’s a lot of work, it’s a lot of strain, a lot of stress, but we just kept coming together,” Fiechtner says….

“We have very few young people,” says Bus Tarbox, who has attended Interlude for 10 years. “We don’t have any children, so we’re going to have to appeal to the people who live up here. And so far we haven’t been real successful in doing that.”

The average age in this congregation is 75. The oldest member just turned 101.
