Short video teaser: Video Link

Description: This year’s conference will explore a theology of time, and take a deeply practical look at the relationship between God’s eternity and the ways we wrestle with one of the most important questions we ask every single day: what shall we do with the time that is given to us? How can we find more (or spend it better)? How can God redeem our past (personal or corporate)? How can we face the future with hope (rather than anxiety or naïve optimism)? Along the way, we’ll learn how music can help train us to encounter time Christianly, how we can learn to encounter life as pilgrims rather than tourists, and — as always — be encouraged by new and old friendships with fellow travelers.

Refugee Ministry - Bedding Drive

We have been informed by the donations coordinator at Lutheran Family Services that they are just about out of bedding for newly arriving refugees.

LFS needs full and twin sized sheets and comforters (and they wouldn’t complain about getting pillows too). New or used is fine. They just ask that used bedding be clean, without holes, and labeled so they can store it properly.

If you are interested in donating items for this bedding drive, please bring them into the Church, and Amy Schulte will make sure they get to the right folks at LFS. If you have questions, please connect with Amy.

CITYSERVE - October 1

The Fall 2022 iteration of COSILoveYou's CITYSERVE is coming soon: on Saturday October 1. CityServe is calling for signups to participate in the City-wide (actually County-wide) service day.

CityServe is a no-strings-attached, city-wide day of service where “all are welcome to serve and be served.” This event is meant to be a starting place, inspiring the community to be engaged with needs year-round! To see what CityServe is like, check out this video from 2021 - CLICK HERE

Might YOU be amongst the hundreds of volunteers spread across the Pikes Peak Region to serve schools, parks, local non-profit organizations, and neighborhoods? Volunteers are called to love this city through simple tasks like pulling weeds, painting, picking up trash, making cards of encouragement, dropping off care packages, cleaning, sorting donations, and more! Right now, CityServe has over 2,000 slots LIVE and ready, many of which are family- and kid-friendly, and perfect for groups of neighbors, friends, and small groups! Additionally, they will have limited slots available on Friday, Sept 30th, if serving during the week is preferred.

Don't wait, as slots fill up quickly. Sign up for Fall CityServe today! Here's the link: SIGN UP HERE.
