Our Great Opportunity To Serve God has a place for you to serve.

Pardon our dust! I. For the next few weeks, the church offices will be repairing the damage caused by the hailstorm on June 7th. This will include removing damaged wallpaper, drywall prep and painting, along with moving furniture in and out of offices to make way for new carpet. We are looking for volunteers that can help with this. If you would be able to volunteer between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, sometime over the next few weeks, please call Angie at 303/806-2603 and let her know the times that you would be available to help.

Our Great Opportunity To Serve Do you ever feel like there is no place for you to serve God? “The church doesn’t need me anymore.” “Others could do the job better than I can.” Or maybe you say, “I’ve done my time, let someone else do it for a change.” “I’m too old,” and on and on; we could go on with our excuses. But the truth of the matter is, God needs everyone in the field of service. The fields are ripe with the harvest...now is the time...put your hands to the plow and don’t look back. You didn’t sign up for easy when you parachuted behind the enemy’s line. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. God and the church need you to get involved in reaching the lost. Nineveh is out there. “Go to the city of Nineveh (Denver) and proclaim to it the message I give you.” God has a place for you to serve! Obeying Him, Pastor Bob Lord, help us keep our eyes fixed on you and the plans you have for us. “Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.” Isaiah 43:18
