Lenten Study led by Pastor Deb
"Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginners Guide to Holy Week"
[By one of our favorite authors, Amy-Jill Levine]
WHEN: Mondays beginning March 2 for 6 weeks
Noon-1 p.m. Brown Bag Lunch Study OR 7-8 p.m. Evening Study
COST: $18.00 for study guide collected at first session
Minimum 5 people registered in the class time slot for it to be held
Join us for another intriguing DVD/book study by Amy-Jill Levine. Her study on the parables which we did last Lent was outstanding. This study explores the biblical text surrounding the Passion story, looking at the "ordinary" people who witnessed the events. Register in the narthex or with Pastor Deb.

THE EARLY BIRDS SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRAM
|
EverKids is now offering The Early Birds Sunday School Program. This class, offered during the
10:30 service is
specifically designed for toddlers and early Preschoolers.
Our goal is to provide the youngest members of our community with a positive and memorable experience while learning about God's love for them.
Each Sunday, our Sunday School teachers read a story from the Toddler's Bible. The children also learn a song, with a message connected to the story. This is followed by guided play around the story's theme.
Invite your young family friends to join!
|
| SMALL GROUPS ARE GETTING READY TO LAUNCH |
So far we have 26 people looking to participate in our home-based Small Group Launch - and appreciate this level of interest!
If you were one of those waiting to see how this might be unfolding, now is your chance to join one of the groups which will begin meeting in the next few weeks.
The days & times for each group are being finalized.
Please be in touch with Roger Quayle or Pastor Dean Penrod about getting involved.
There are also
sign-up sheets on the Fellowship Hall bulletin board
.

Opening night for the Evergreen Chorale's production of Lend Me A Tenor is Friday, February 21 at 7:30 at Center Stage. Although some of the men of the church will be on their annual ski trip, we have reserved tickets for that night. We will also gather at Lariat Lodge at 5:30 for dinner and walk over to the theater afterwards for the show. Group ticket prices are $27.50 for adults and $22.10 for seniors. You may call Jo Ann Dunn at 303-674-1695 or 303-503-5978 to reserve your ticket and also to let her know if you want to go to dinner. You may also sign up on the bulletin board in Fellowship Hall. Payment should be made to Jo Ann. It promises to be a hilarious show.

 This team performs a great ministry for UMCE. Our goals are to have meals in the church freezer ready to go for anyone who may be sick, injured, or coming home after a hospital stay. We also strive to provide a meal to any family who experiences a death or other emergency and needs assistance so they don't have to think about shopping and cooking a meal. When the church is notified, the team will choose a meal from the freezer for them. Sometimes we add bread or other appropriate item from the grocery store when we deliver the meal. Would you like to participate? An information sheet is posted on the church's freezer door--or contact Janice Vickery at 720-920-9441 for more information or questions. Thank you!
