OCTOBER 2008 WORSHIP
2008 - 2009 Worship & Program Year Theme:
Sustainable Faith
"Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit."
October 5 – World Communion/World Hunger Sunday
Today we celebrate Communion at both services and Lead Minister, Benjamin Broadbent, returns from paternity leave to preach a sermon on Exodus 20 entitled “Wisdom for the Way.” Along with churches worldwide, we will celebrate World Communion Sunday while acknowledging the crisis of hunger that demands our response as people of Jesus’ compassion.
October 12 – Stewardship Kick Off Sunday
Today kicks off the Stewardship Pledge Drive to support the 2009 Mission and Ministry of our church. Rev. Broadbent preaches a sermon reflecting on the theme of the drive: “On Earth as in Heaven.” Pledges are offered by Church Council, Stewardship Committee, and Church Staff Team Members.
October 19 – Colorado College Sunday Today we celebrate the historic and contemporary connections between our church and Colorado College, both founded in 1874 by the same group of faithful Congregationalists. Earlier this year, we transferred the historic archives of our church to the Special Collections department at Tutt Library. The collection will be the second largest. We welcome a guest preacher and several distinguished guests from the college.
October 26 – Historical Sunday
Today is our annual Historical Sunday. We acknowledge long-time members of the church, sing our Centennial Hymn, and honor the service of Lenore Poulson, our Church Historian of many years. Rev. Broadbent preaches a sermon reflecting on the ministry of James Gregg, who served as Minister of First Congregational Church from 1882 until 1909 and was pastor when our current sanctuary and Founders’ Room were built.
