Faith Comes By Hearing

Forestgate is sponsoring the oral Bible translation project for the Twa people of Bangweulu (Zambia and DRC). Our congregation has already met and exceeded this year’s $35,000 goal in this three-year project ($35K/year); more partners are still needed. Please consider ongoing support—envelopes are available at the Missions Wall or designate “Faith Comes By Hearing” on your check.

Update from Todd Cobbs (FCBH): Recording continues in Mark, Titus, 1 Timothy, and Romans (174 verses in the past three months; 2,848 total). Pray for continued success of the OBT projects, for our partners’ support and health, for strong collaboration with FCBH, and for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

New Adult Sunday School Class

The OT books of Kings and Chronicles can seem like just a confusing and irrelevant series of stories from ancient history; however, there is much to learn from them. Join us as Dale Oderman leads a study from these books called “A Tale of Two Kingdoms: The Tragic Account of the Divided Kingdom in the OT” beginning on Sept 6 with an introductory lesson on the nation of Israel up to the era of the kings.

Reclaiming Civility

On September 22, Mayor Yemi Mobolade and the Colorado Springs City Council made a formal proclamation advocating a new pursuit and era of civility in our region. https://vimeo.com/1229326821/106bd32464?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

On September 30, our community will gather to be inspired and learn skills to advance mutual respect over difference, a hallmark of our democratic republic. Keynote luncheon speaker Alexandra Hudson, author of The Soul of Civility will address The Courage to Lead Across DIfference. A 3-year plan is in place to educate and engage fellow citizens to learn and grow in the mindset and skills of civility, which incorporate Ken Sande's Relational Wisdom 360 concepts. The event will culminate with the signing of a Civility Pledge by elected officials, non-profits, businesses and citizens. El Pomar will generously provide lunch and hor d'oeuvres at the cocktail hour, which concludes at 6:30p. You are invited by Lisa Brandt, co-founder of Reclaiming Civility.


Registration closes Sunday evening. https://reclaimingcivility.com/civility-page/
