Seth O’Kegley for a vibrant celebration of baptism\, where we will explore the transformative power of being “reBORN This Way.” Through the lens of queer theology and the loving message of Lady Gaga’s anthem\, we’ll discover how God’s love affirms and embraces us as we are—beloved\, bold\, and beautifully made. \nSeth was appointed Pastor of Grace United Methodist Church in Denver in 2022. Born in East Tennessee and raised in Northern Virginia\, Seth grew up in the shadows of the Appalachian Mountains. He holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from East Tennessee State University\, a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from The University of Tennessee Knoxville\, and a Master of Divinity from the Iliff School of Theology in Denver\, CO. \nSeth is passionate about early church history and the revival of Methodist spiritual practices. Seth most recently served as the Pastor of Worship & Music at First United Methodist Church of Oak Ridge\, Tennessee. He sings regularly with Kantorei and occasionally joins the St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral choir. He and his Labrador Retriever\, Sir Wesley\, enjoy hiking\, swimming\, and being outdoors. \nThe service will begin with the ringing of the church bells at 9:25 am then move into an organ prelude\, a welcome\, a sharing of scripture\, a message from the Rev O’Kegley\, and a closing anthem. All are welcome. \nContact InformationRev. J.R. Atkins\, MBA\, MDiv\, 214-707-1705pastor@AspenCommunityChurch.orgAbout The Rev.

A cottage industry custom ceramic dinnerware company\, Wyly Works\, Inc.\, worked solo out of her garage painting and firing one-of-a-kind ceramic tableware for clients for three years.  During this time\, Kelly started art consulting for friends and family\, soon acquiring fine art throughout the globe for corporate and private collections. This turned into a mentorship through Hammer Galleries in New York\, where she learned the gallery business from the inside out. Connections made there led to a four-year career creating fine art ceramics in Vallauris\,  France\, at Galerie Sassi-Milici. Kelly became one of the US experts in authenticating and valuing Pablo Picasso ceramics as a result of her gallery experience in the South of France and  New York. Kelly served on the board of Michaels Arts & Crafts during this time as well\, gaining valuable knowledge of corporate retail operations. This experience enhanced what she had  “learned by doing.” O’Donovan opened her first fine art gallery specializing in American and  European Masters in Dallas with her childhood best friend in 1997. They both moved to Aspen with their families and opened Elliott Yeary Gallery\, Aspen\, in 2000. Tired of selling dead artists’  work\, the gallery evolved over time to represent emerging artists and fine jewelry designers. In  2009\, Kelly started investing in residential real estate house flipping with her second husband\,  Denis O’Donovan. They invested both in Hawaii and in Aspen. Kelly and Denis expanded into commercial real estate in Aspen soon after. Always wanting to dip her toe in the restaurant business\, Kelly and her Irish-born husband opened Finbarr’s Irish Pub & Kitchen together in  2011. A popular Aspen restaurant\, Finbarr’s ultimately closed when they sold the real estate it was housed in. In 2022\, Kelly purchased a retail fashion boutique in Aspen and rebranded it as  Four One Nine. Loving learning a new retail industry\, but not enjoying running two separate locations in Aspen\, Kelly and her business partner\, Kristin Yeary\, relocated both stores to one location a year later. Elliott Yeary at Four One Nine continues to be a successful business concept of fashion\, art\, and fine jewelry. As one of the few remaining locally owned small businesses in Aspen\, Kristin and Kelly continue to grow their customer base in Aspen and online (419aspen.com) and delight in serving Aspen locals and visitors alike. Kelly continues to create and sell her own art. She works out of a studio in her home in Snowmass\, Colorado. \nRaised in a philanthropically-minded family\, Kelly has made service to her community a life value from her earliest professional days. She worked with the American Cancer Society in  Dallas\, assisting in putting clinics in low-income inner city DFW areas to better serve the under served African American community with the hopes of lowering the cancer death rate in their demographic. She worked with several small schools in Dallas\, mostly assisting with  Advancement and fundraising. Once she moved to Aspen\, she committed time to fundraising for Wilderness Workshop\, the Buddy Program\, and the Aspen Youth Center. She has served on the board of the Aspen Youth Center and currently serves as President of the  Board of Trustees at the Aspen Country Day School. \nYou can find Kelly laughing with her husband\, three kids\, and two dogs in Snowmass Village\,  painting in her studio\, or behind the desk at Elliott Yeary at Four One Nine in Aspen.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tykee James\nTykee James is recognized as a dynamic leader and advocate within the birding and conservation communities.
