Cloudy skies didn’t stop more than 400 people from gathering at Riverside Cemetery on Saturday for Fort Morgan’s Memorial Day ceremony. Organized by American Legion Post 19 and joined by the 140th Fighter Squadron from Buckley Space Force Base, the event honored fallen service members.

American and service flags lined the grounds, shifting softly in the breeze. Many headstones were decorated with small flags – placed by family members and volunteers as quiet tributes.

Across Colorado, churches gather each week to worship, pray, and walk in faith. From the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains, these communities share a simple but powerful calling—to love one another well. Today, that love has a chance to meet a real and urgent need.

And today, that love has an urgent opportunity to shine.

One of our own—John Waters, Worship Pastor at Elevating Life Church in Fort Morgan and a cherished beloved DJ on KFTM/Bob FM—is in critical need of a living liver transplant. John isn’t just a leader—he’s been a steady voice of hope. Whether preaching on Sundays or spinning tracks on the radio, he’s lifted hearts across Colorado and Nebraska.
