Colorado Youth Mission Trip
Rather than each of the mission team members writing everyone in the church family a letter to raise support, we encourage you to prayerfully donate a gift towards this missions experience. You can designate your gift to an individual or to the team by indicating so on the offering envelope. Pick up a prayer card at the Welcome Desk to serve as a reminder to pray for these folks, and expect to hear how God has enlarged their hearts for Him through this trip.

Summer Institutes
During the summer our Adult Bible Fellowships take on a modified form called the Summer Institutes. These specially chosen classes allow for people to choose the topic (or teacher) that would benefit them the most in their Christian walk. This year classes will be offered every Sunday morning at 8:45 starting June 1 through August 10. This month, please sign up at the table in the foyer near the rest rooms for the Institute you wish to attend. This will allow us to determine class size for room placement purposes. To help you in choosing the class that is right for you, here is a list of what is being offered.

  • Intimacy with God through Prayer, taught by Wayne Muench – Do you feel that your prayer life lacks something? This class will be an eleven week Bible study on the subject of prayer that will start in Genesis 3. Let’s learn together to engage in an intimate conversation with God.
  • The Gospel of the Glory of Christ, taught by Tom Humphrey and Drew Humphrey – An extended exegetical study of the truths of 2 Cor. 4:3-6, where we will consider the magnificence of God’s glory and how it is revealed to the hearts of believers through the person and work of Jesus Christ. We will look at the biblical accounts of those who had a personal encounter with God’s glory, how the natural man is blinded to God’s glory, and how the crucifixion and resurrection are revelations of God’s glory.
  • Overcoming the Fear of Man, taught by Dave Nannery – Peer pressure, codependency, and low self-esteem are often seen as serious concerns in our culture. These stem from the fact that we fear other people rather than God. Come learn how the Bible teaches us to respond to these and a multitude of other problems relating to fear!
  • Marriage: Survive or Thrive? taught by Bill Davis – Why are you married? Have the cares and busyness of life obscured the point? Would you like to see your marriage go from “good” to great? Or maybe go from barely surviving to really thriving? For everyone from those who have a “good” marriage to the not-yet-but-maybe-someday married, this class will seek to challenge what you think marriage is and how that impacts real life.
  • Parenting: Raise Them to Release Them, taught by Pastor Tim Depue – What exactly is the role of the parent? Cheerleader? Teacher? Warden? Buddy? Coach? Are there any guarantees? One thing is for certain, raising children raises lots of questions. While there are no secret formulas, the Bible offers principles that can help parents as they work to prepare their child for the life God has for them. Whether your children are young, working through their teen years, or you want a head start as you plan for a family, join us as we look at God’s plan for parents.
