Come take a walk with Pastor David and others as we study Adam Hamilton’s new book
The Walk: Five Essential Practices of the Christian Life.
Starting
Tuesday March 3 at 10:00 am and continuing for six weeks, we will meet in the Parlor to view a video segment from Rev. Hamilton and then discuss one of the essential practices he says we need for the Christian life. The five practices are: worship and prayer, paying attention, serving, giving and sharing and each one is exemplified by Jesus in his own life.
A sign-up sheet is on the Hospitality desk. Copies of
The Walk are $14.00.

All Church Kitchen Cleaning
|
|
Attention church family!
There will be an
ALL CHURCH KITCHEN CLEANING on Saturday, February 22, at 9 AM. For many years, the United Methodist Women have been responsible for keeping the kitchen clean, however we are not the only ones who use the kitchen within the life of the church and we can no longer see to its upkeep alone.
Please plan to come and help on Feb 22, as the more we have helping, the more quickly we will be done! We plan to establish cleaning the kitchen as a quarterly activity to keep up with its cleaning and maintenance needs.
Keep watching the Pulse and Bulletin for updates on cleaning items to bring. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and consideration! If you have ANY questions, please contact Lynn Greenhalge at 303-651-3911.

2019 Year-End Giving Statements
2019 year-end giving statements are complete. To save on postage expenses, we ask that you pick up your statement after church either Sunday, February 2, or Sunday, February 9. They will be located at the Hospitality Desk. Any statements not picked up by February 9 will be mailed.
Alternatively, you may pick your statement up in the church office during normal office hours, or, if you will be unable to pick up your statement before February 9, contact the office and they will mail it to you.

SPRC
You might wonder what these letters stand for. They represent Staff Parish Relations Committee. This committee works with the staff, pastor, and congregation to help promote communication. We are also responsible for the interviewing and hiring of staff members and it is our role to make sure that we have appropriate protocols in place for things like the employee policy handbook, job descriptions, etc.
This year the members of the committee are: Joan Edmonds, Mary Ann Watson, Edy-Kay Ward, Richard Fushia, Paul Johnston, Anna Suppe, Tricia Grafelman, and Dave Perry. If you have any questions, concerns or compliments regarding our staff, please let one of the team members know. You can communicate directly with us or write your comment on a piece of paper and place it in the black box next to the office doors.
We have a great, talented, and knowledgeable staff and if you have not met them, please introduce yourself to them. From the office to the music to the children and youth staff, we are fortunate to be in capable hands.

Film Screening of “Zero Weeks: Putting Families First”
February 9, 2020
11:15 a.m. (following worship; popcorn, pizza and drinks provided)
in the Parlor
Hosted by the HoL UMW and Justice Seekers
Most Americans agree that family comes first. But ours is the only developed country without paid family leave. In the richest country in the world, having a baby, medical emergency or aging parent can be a trigger into poverty.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Join us to see a powerful 55-minute documentary that weaves the stories of working Americans together with insightful interviews from faith leaders. ZERO WEEKS explores our nation’s paid leave crisis and the cost of doing nothing. Above all, it shows that change is possible and in our hands.
Afterwards we’ll have a discussion on what we can do to bring about change.

You may have heard that our roof needs some repairs. We will be starting a capital campaign after the first of the year to address the roof repairs, but you can give before the end of the year towards the roof so you can get the best tax breaks for 2019.
Want to understand why we need these repairs? Watch the video below and see for yourself!
