OCTOBER 31
MESSAGE SERIES CONCLUDES
After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, a new
generation is ready to enter the promised land. Moses
gathered them and delivers one final message. He
recounted Israel’s rebellion and God’s grace up to
that point, and he called them to faithfulness in their
covenant with God. He called them to love God with all
their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Through this series,
we’ve discover key truths to everyday generational
discipleship. Now...you are to share the message with a
new generation about what it means to remain faithful
to God - where do you start?

UPCOMING EVENT DETAILS
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
There are millions of children in need around the world, many
who have never received a gift. We want them to know God’s
gift of salvation through trusting and believing in Jesus Christ
alone as their Savior.
Connections has partnered with Operation Christmas Child,
a project of Samaritan’s Purse, in sharing the Good News and
bringing joy to children all over the world this holiday season!
The Missions Ministry team is distributing boxes NOW through
November 7 and have a hope that every family in our church
will join in this opportunity to reach a child with the Gospel and
be a part the new generation of evangelists and disciple makers
- EVERY shoebox is an opportunity to reach a child with the
gospel within their own communities.
Shoeboxes need to be returned by November 14 to be mailed.
Contact us at missions@connections.cc for more details.

This Monday evening group is doing the video study “The Parables of Jesus, Connecting the Bible to Life” by Matt Williams. A new insight into His parables and their meanings will help you to appreciate more fully their relevance and how you can apply what you learn to your own life. Contact Ty Stewart with questions at tybstewart@gmail.com. This Wednesday morning group is studying “God of Creation: a Study of Genesis 1-11” by Jen Wilkin. As God reveals Himself through Scripture, we can only begin to understand ourselves when we first glimpse the character, attributes, and promises of our Creator. Contact Kristie Drage with questions at 970-231-4118. This Thursday evening group is studying “She Got Issues” by Nicole Unice. Explore the ordinary issues that are keeping you from the full and free life you were meant to have. By applying practical scriptural teaching and a fresh and authentic voice, Nicole shows you how to let God freely shape your character--and transform your life from ordinary to abundant. Contact Kristie Allbritten with questions at 303-915-6754.

Discipleship is more than just knowing about the Bible; it’s about
surrendering our lives to our Lord and choosing to pattern our
actions, attitudes, priorities, and values after His example.
It’s our goal to not only communicate Biblical Truths, but strive
to consistently live out that Truth in our lives. We’re not perfect,
but we are grateful that God sees each of us as a work in
progress. We’re honest about our journey and eager to have
others join us, including you and your family!
We hope you will join us on the journey of Discipleship and will
choose to be actively engaged in your own transformation. We
look forward to journeying with you.
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Prayer Requests can be submitted by emailing our Prayer
Team at prayer@connections.cc

recovery. Pray for peace, strength and patience for them
