Halee Savery

Halee is a full time mom to 3 fabulous children, wife to one tired husband, on-call chef to two fun step daughters, and part time music leader at Denver Friends Church.

She started homeschooling in 2023 so hasn’t had a day off in 2 years, but still manages to dance with her children in the kitchen, push all the neighborhood children on the tire swing in her front yard, and answer all the many questions about life .

One day, she’ll probably go back to teaching music and performing in the occasional musical, but for now, she is enjoying her kids, nature, Jesus, her church, and lots of coffee.

dave Meserve

Dave Meserve is a Kansas transplant who followed his wife, Shari, to Colorado for grad school and they never left.

He has been enmeshed with the Denver faith community as a pastor for over 30 years, with the distinction of having closed two churches. 20 years ago, he founded a non-profit for misfit pastor-types called Urban Skye and currently works as a church pastor in Littleton and a chaplain for Volunteers of America. He and Shari have 3 above-average adult children and ZERO grandchildren :( Dave has been a Chief’s fan since the late ’60’s and is proudly related to the Wicked Witch of the West.

Billie Jeanne Fyfe

Jeanne is a western Nebraska native who sometimes spontaneously yells, “Go Huskers!”

She grew up on an irrigated farm/ranch, with a multitude of animal friends — dogs, cats, cattle, sheep and horses — all of whom she can recall by name. The third child of four, she’s a mediator who seeks calm and avoids conflict with humor, warmth and a ready smile. A former middle school English teacher, her favorite word is the adjective sesquipedalian (a big word that basically means you like to use big words). Jeanne has been employed as a copywriter, across a spectrum of industries and audiences, for a looong time.

She enjoys using the written word to open hearts and wallets, encourage people on their journey, get the conversation started and more.

(She’s also currently available for hire. Call her!)

Ed Black is the son of missionary parents and has served as a pastor in New York, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. Ed and his beautiful wife, Janet have been blessed by God with three children and seven grandchildren.

Leanor Ortega Till

Leanor Inez Ortega Till has a long name. She is a Colorado native and a former Scum of the Earth alum. When she is not leading chapels at Assisted Living homes or the Denver Women’s Prison, where she serves as a Chaplain, she can be found rocking out on stage in a ska-punk band Five Iron Frenzy.

Her husband and two teen kids give her daily joy as does her terrier mutt. Leanor loves talking and is rarely nervous but this event might break her.
