Today is National Coming Out Day, an opportunity for people to be honest about their lives and for straight allies to show support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning friends, families, neighbors, coworkers and colleagues. Highlands UMC is a community of faith that celebrates people of any sexual orientation and gender identity, a place where we proclaim the Good News that God's love knows no bounds.
This Saturday - final reminder - is the Northwest Denver CROPWalk, starting at 9am from Highlands Lutheran Church at 40th and Irving. Even if you don't have time to collect sponsors, you could show up and join us for the walk - we walk because millions of people in the two-thirds world have to walk several miles each day, for employment, food, and water.
This Sunday, October 14, Pastor Kerry will preach on "Building a Life of Faith," the first Sunday in our stewardship campaign focusing on "Building a Life Together." I know, you don't want to hear about money in church, but trust me, stewardship is about much more than just meeting the church budget needs for the year: it's about a way of living out your faith with trust, gratitude, and generosity. Worship is at 10am, with Christian Education for all ages at 9am. We hope you'll stay and get to know us a little during our Fellowship Hour (more like half an hour, depending on who stays and what the food is!) right after worship!
Next Tuesday evening, October 16, Missy and Paul Snyder will host the first Home Meeting for folks to reflect on what stewardship means in a more personal setting. Contact the church office to learn more.
Blessings on your week!
