Prayer Starters
This week, pray…
Monday: God, help my heart to remember daily Your sacrifice for me.
Tuesday: God, help me to remember Your sovereign Grace for me when I fall.
Wednesday: God, I want to walk in Your freedom every day.
Thursday: God, help my leaders to seek You in all things.
Friday: God, may my life reflect You in me and nothing less.
Saturday: God, help me to remember You work for good in my life when it gets hard.

Verse of the week: Romans 6:20-21
"When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!”

Join the Biggest Loser Challenge. For 13 weeks we will weigh in weekly, challenging one another to lose weight, tone up, and work toward having a body that is Fit2Serve God. There are two ways to join. One is FREE and the other is $20. Both ways will give you lots of camaraderie, new friendships, challenging yourself, learning opportunities, and fun. Sign up at the Get Connected table. See Carol Bryan or call/text 303-522-2293 for more details.
Baptism Sunday: August 22nd, 2021, 5:30pm (Pot Luck After)
We will have Baptism Sunday on August 29th at 5:30 pm. Right after the baptism, we will have a potluck dinner and cookout and enjoy fellowship with each other. See below for all the details.
What is being baptized all about? Being baptized is an outward expression of an inward commitment to Jesus. If you have given your life to Jesus at some point in your life and have not been baptized since that decision, it is a great way to express your commitment to Jesus. You can sign up for the baptism at the Get Connected table in the sanctuary. If you have questions email Pastor Joel.
For the dinner, we will have grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. COG will also provide the plates, utensils, condiments, water, and lemonade. We are asking you to bring a dessert or side dish depending on what your last name begins with; side dish is A-M and desserts are O-Z. Feel free to bring your own lawn chairs and games! We will have tables set up to use as needed.
