The all-church Retreat to La Foret is Friday-Sunday, October 11-13. La Foret is about an hour and 40 minutes’ drive south of Arvada, just north of Colorado Springs in Black Forest. We stay in cabins & eat meals in the Dining Hall, bringing food to share Friday evening and snacks to share for the weekend. We organize some craft activities for anyone who wants to participate. You’re also invited to bring board games and puzzles to share. We usually plan a group nature walk through the forest, a time to walk the large labyrinth together, but you’re also welcome to simply relax among the trees or read a book. It’s been a great time to visit with one another! Sunday morning we hold a worship service in the chapel. (There will also be a service at First United that morning.) Registration will be due Sept 8 with full payment by Oct 1. Adults: $100 for the weekend. Children age 3-17 $40, Under 3 are free. (Scholarships available.) Meals are included, except Friday night which is a potluck and/or some arrive after dinnertime.

Children & Youth stay in worship today. Many in the congregation will be at La Foret just north of Colorado Springs for the church retreat. Nursery is provided for preschool age and younger children. Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.

We will be focusing on some painting on the building, cleaning up the playground area and de-weeding the parking lot. We hope you can come out and help Saturday morning! There will be some yummy fall goodies! And there will be pumpkins & honey from the Community Garden available for donations at the end of the workday.

Adult Ed is studying the Gospel of John from the Bible with a study book that’s available for $6. The book isn’t required, but it’s helpful. Teens and older are welcome to the study.

Children & Youth are invited to Worship & Wonder (K-5th grade) and Youth Sunday school (6th-12th grade) about 20 minutes into the service. Nursery is provided for preschool age and younger children for the full service. Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.
