Kicking off the program year
Wow, I didn't realize it had been almost two months since my last post here. I apologize, and hope there may still be someone out there checking in once in a while!
As summer draws to a close, we are preparing to resume our "program year" at Highlands UMC. Sunday, September 10 is our "kick-off" or "Rally" Sunday, when the choir will sing in worship again, Sunday school for all ages will resume, and we begin exploring the areas of growth in faith and mission we want to achieve for this year. Our theme will be "Sacred Work," and we will hear from representatives of the many different areas of ministry that take place in and through our church.
Before that, though, all are invited for worship this Sunday, September 3 at 10:00 a.m. We will celebrate Holy Communion, and sing some favorite hymns suggested by members of the congregation. Many folks travel for Labor Day, but God is always present to bless our work and our recreation, our worship and our rest.
Choir rehearsals have started up again, and we always welcome new members: Wednesday evenings, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., in the sanctuary.
We also are open to new members for the Highlands UMC Worship Band, which plays once or twice a month and rehearses as needed to prepare for that. We are particularly in need of a bass player, but we welcome other instruments and vocalists too!
Hope you can join us this Sunday or in future, corner of Osceola St and 32nd Avenue in northwest Denver. All are welcome!
