Pastor Justin has been sharing his heart through a new series of talks about what we are really trying to go after and pursue as a church community moving forward. Here are a few quotes from his message on September 15 so you have an idea of what you will hear him share about in this podcast episode: "What is He calling us to? Called to what? Called to love. It’s easy to say yes, it’s hard to show up. It’s easy to spot a problem, it’s hard to be part of the solution. It’s easy to have a response but hard to have an action. Going to do it is a whole different thing. Not all who are chosen are faithful.... but God is."

In place of our usual Sunday Morning Gatherings, for the entire month of July, we instead planned a bunch of events so everyone in our church community had a chance to have an unhurried time to really connect and have a bunch of summertime fun together to build relationships! On Sunday, August 1, Pastor Justin started a new series of talks where he shares some of his heart and thoughts about what we are really trying to go after and pursue as a church community moving forward. Whether you are part of our local church community or just feel connected from afar, we hope what he shares encourages and inspires you wherever you find yourself in your own journey with Jesus.

Palm Sunday is the day that marks the beginning of something called Holy Week––a week focusing on the final days of Jesus' life leading up to Resurrection (Easter) Sunday. Pastor Justin shared a message with everyone before we thanked Jim and Pam Rogers for all the ways they have poured into our church family these last several years and blessed all the new things that God has for them to step into in this season. 

Papa Joe finished up part 2 of his two-week series of talks by giving some practical examples and ways to practice hearing from God and learning to cultivate an awareness and sensitivity to what the Holy Spirit is doing and saying in our lives on a regular basis. 

Pastor Katherine shared a message at Discovery Church Colorado for week 3 of their current series "Rogue King." Because of the snowpocalypse, it ended up being that three churches (DCC, Solid Rock Christian Center, and AGAPE) all tuned in together for a full online experience with worship (singing), communion, and her message. This was a bit out of the norm and ended up being a special morning as one church united. We may be three different church communities but we are all one big family in the Kingdom of God!

On this snowed-in Sunday, we all got to tune in from home and listen to Papa Joe share about hearing the voice of God and learning to cultivate an awareness and sensitivity to what the Holy Spirit is doing and saying. 

This morning we got to hear a few different people in our community share a recent God story, praise report, update, etc. We got to know Rich Martinez a bit better as he shared part of his story. Pastor Justin shared for just a minute about faith, a core value of our church before our elementary age kids came in and encouraged/ministered to all the adults. We ended our time by partaking in communion altogether.
