Let's come together to support children in our community. Many kids lack essential school supplies, and we can make a difference by ensuring every child has the tools they need to succeed.

Please bring donated school supplies to church by this Sunday, August 16. Pick up items from this list and drop them off at the church, or order online and have them shipped directly.

Join us Tuesday, August 18 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. for Faith On Tap at our new location, Lone Tree Brewing in Parker, located at 18425 Pony Express Drive. 

Faith on Tap is a great place to come and share real conversations about life and faith, as well as get connected with others who are exploring their faith. All are welcome!

In preparation for Sunday worship, here are questions to consider ahead of time. You can use these in your own devotion time, in conversation with family and friends, or in a small group setting. All are welcome to join one discussion group every Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Room 216 in the church. 

We hope this practice will help you engage with the scriptural texts and sermon at a deeper faith level. 

For August 16 Sunday worship:

• This week's sermon: Celebrate Promise

• Scripture: Romans 4:3, 13-25

• Guiding Questions:

1. How would you define promise? What is it and what isn't it?

2. To describe a Biblical promise, Paul uses Abraham as an example. What do you remember about Abraham's story? What is the promise God made to Abaham?

3. Paul also uses the words righteousness and faith. How would you describe these words? Perhaps faith is easier to define than righteousness, but take a stab.

4. What promises come to mind when you think of Jesus? What are we promised? Hint: consider the words faith and grace. 

5. Perhaps these questions feel like an English class. How do you think of God working through your life in terms of faith and grace? What gives you comfort?

Please join us this Sunday for our four week series Celebrate. This Sunday's message is Celebrate Promise and our scripture reading is Romans 4:3, 13-25.
