Good morning! We are delighted you have joined us on this first
Sunday in November and are once again anticipating God’s
wonderful touch. Let us begin to pray and prepare ourselves for
His Presence today!
I have been traveling by airplane these last few weeks to
California and then back to Denver. I am still amazed by air travel.
I love the takeoff and the thrill of the plane blasting into the sky.
The power that will propel this huge piece of metal into the
atmosphere is beyond comprehension! I am always amazed at
the intelligence of man to be able to cause a huge object to fly.
Man is powerful! But there is no comparison to the power of God.
We find the power of God manifested in the Holy Spirit. There is
nothing more powerful than a Spirit filled believer. Today, the
message will reveal that our second Foundation of Faith is the
infilling of the Spirit. If you have been seeking this power, the
power that will propel your life from ordinary to extraordinary, you
have come to the right place. Today we proclaim the Power of the
Spirit filled life!
I am so glad you are here!
Pastor Shawn Siegfreid

“Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful…”
This year, the snowy weather and the bad driving conditions have
already begun! As we all witnessed this week, the weather in
Colorado can change in the blink of an eye. Our main concern
during bad weather is for your safety. In order to keep our
congregation informed, we have created an “Inclement Weather
Policy.” Please pick up a copy at the Reception Desk and the
East & West Foyers and post it on your refrigerator. It will let you
know our policies and procedures for the winter season.
