Friends among  the Colorado House Church Community -

I wanted to give you a heads regarding an equipping seminar coming up two weeks from today. It is THE COACHING WORKSHOP that will be held on Saturday, May 19th at Abundant Life Community Church, 7100 Wadsworth in Arvada, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

Coaching is an excellent way to help people grow and move ahead in accomplishing God’s calling on their lives. This workshop will not make you a professional coach, but it will equip you to serve others miore effectively. If your calling is to be a mentor, learning coaching skills will make you a better mentor. If your role is in discipling or teaching or counseling, you will be more fruitful by using coaching skills. If you are a parent or supervisor or neighbor, using coaching skills will enable you to serve others better… (see the rest of this post, and see the full flyer by clicking on this post)

Please note that there is an early bird registration of May 10th. Also, there is a group rate that enables up to ten persons to enroll at my cost. The registration fee includes Keith Webb’s new bookThe Coach Model, a workbook, lunch and snacks.

There are two options for registering. Either print the registration form and mail it to me (24885 Genesee Ave., Golden, CO 80401) along with a check, or hit “reply” fill in the registration information and request a PayPal invoice to be mailed for payment with a credit card.

Encouraging another leader or friend to attend this workshop may be one of the best things you could do for their own growth and development this year!

I am looking forward to seeing you there!

We have a couple who are missionaries in China working with the Tibetans who are trying to raise more support. We trust him and his work, and we would like you to join us in supporting him and his family. His desire is to see a church planting movement among some of the Tibetans, while his wife has a desire to help the women of China. He can tell you more when he meets with us…

Save the date!

Sunday, September 11 will be our next all-gathering. We will meet in Denver’s Washington Park to celebrate a picnic meal, games and play, engaging those around us, and concluding with a time of worship and prayer.

Folks from around the city have been meeting the past few months, waiting upon the Lord and listening to Him regarding this event. Three words summarize what we have been hearing from the Lord: Preparation, Equipping, and Celebration.

Preparation – we desire to see the Lord move among us as we gather to encourage one another, engage outsiders, and strive to bring honor and glory to our Lord as we humbly demonstrate to manifest the reality of His kingdom. In preparation for our next all-gathering, we invite you to join with us in fasting on Saturday, September 10. We will break our fast together on Sunday.

Equipping – the purpose of our fast is to prepare our hearts for what our Lord desires to accomplish among us and through us on Sunday the 11th. We encourage all the fellowships to spend time listening and praying as a means of equipping – asking the Lord “how shall we prepare for our gathering?” and “What do you want us to know about your equipping – how shall we prepare?”

Celebration – Sunday, 09/11 (11:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

10:30 – 11:00 AM Set up
We will be setting up tables and our picnic in the southeast corner of Washington Park (about 1/3 mile east of the intersection of I-25 and Louisiana Avenue). We will park at the South High School parking lot and meet near Franklin Street and Louisiana Avenue, just north of the South High parking lot.

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Fellowship
We will have an open time of sharing where everyone will have the opportunity to share what our Lord spoke during our time of fasting. We will also corporately worship through song.

12:00 – 12:30 PM Celebration!

We will join in a picnic and break our fast together. After our picnic we will have a time of fun – playing games, Frisbee, walking in the park, engaging others in conversation – this is a time to have fun playing together. As we play we will be open to the Lord’s leading about engaging others in the park and inviting them to join us.

2:30 – 4:00 PM Prayer and Worship
We will gather again for a time of corporate prayer and worship. This will be an open ministry time, and we encourage you to be open to inviting others you may have encountered during the day – as the Lord leads. We will humbly and openly share, pray, and worship, in this public setting.

This e-mail is just a “Save the Date” announcement. Tim Morris will be sending a flyer and poster in the near future, with additional details and driving directions. Look for this announcement.

Have a blessed day!

This gathering will be a celebration of our emerging story and our DNA of listening to God for identity and direction. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Please consider sharing financial contribution toward the cost of the event.

This gathering we want to have a Colorado House Church Fair. We want to invite you to create a poster or presentation with pictures and stories of your house church. We will have these on display to celebrate what the Lord is doing among our groups. Be creative in sharing your story.

We will have a time of worship in which you are invited to bring acoustic instruments such as guitars, violins, drums and percussion, etc.

School on the Way presents an intimate and interactive look at Genesis 1-11: Introduction to Everything taught by Jan Cowles.

We will explore the wild and terrible, wonderful and mysterious scenes of Genesis.

Among other things you will:

• Learn the difference between Greek and Hebrew thinking
• Find out what God thinks of us (this alone could turn our world up side down)
• Read Genesis in the context of ancient cultures and stories.
• Understand the best translations (and options) of the original language
  Hear what others through the centuries have said as they have read/listened to Genesis.
• Listen to what God is saying to and through each other.

Where we will meet? Green Mountain in  Lakewood (Cowles’ household)
When? Wednesday nights 6:45 – 9:00, April 20th – May 25th

This last Colorado House Church all-gathering on Feb 5th was a treasure. Some of the things it included:

-A north-side house church network baptized one of their converts during the gathering.

-We enjoyed communion and sharing of the Lord’s table together.

-During the various teaching sessions on various topics geared for adults, we were blessed with inter-generational youth and child sessions as well!

-We experimented successfully with broadcasting the event live on the web – and folks were able to tune in all around the world.

-A fun and informative panel discussion with various leaders from churches around the front range was held.

And don’t forget to save the date of the next CHC All-gathering on May 7th… Info soon to come.
