SPECIAL NOTICE: Colfax Marathon Road Closures and Delays
This Sunday, May 17
More than 17,000 athletes are anticipated to participate in the Colfax Marathon this Sunday, May 17. To provide a safe environment for the runners, the cities of Aurora, Denver and Lakewood will have temporary traffic impacts along Colfax Avenue. This may create significant delays for those coming to Montview and it might be best to come a few minutes earlier than usual. To view a race route map with specific detour information please visit www.runcolfax.org/2015-colfax-marathon-traffic-road-closures/.
Greetings! 

Our 2014-2015 Sunday School year ended last Sunday with our Children-Led Service.  As the name  implies this tradition of our church is a worship service led by our children as liturgists,preachers, ushers, musicians and choirs.  We have adult acolytes and a Word to the Grown-ups to complete the role reversal.  It is a poignant service with our children leading us in rich, authentic and joyful ways. 

 

This service also marks our threshold to summer and all that implies for our families.  We all move from our time together in our Sunday School rooms each week to other rooms and outdoor spaces for time apart from many friends and time shared with many others.

 

As we go, we take our Sunday School memories with us.  We take our friendships and connections with the people we know and can now call by name.  We take moments of class hilarity focused on humannature and humor and moments of earnest discussion focused on questions of reality and belief.  We take all of the stories and activities that have brought us closer to each other and to God.   And in some divine, mysterious way all we take with us leads us on to a bright, expansive, confident, trusting sort of faith in God, in the Bible, in this community and in the future.

 

As we breathe into the days before us, the new experiences, the new people and places, the summer hours and summer miles, we take each other with us. We are written on each other's hearts.  We canknow this, trust this, live this in God's name.

 

Thank you to our remarkable Sunday School teachers and students and parents!  Our program begins again on September 13! Childcare is in place this summer for children birth through second grade for our one worship service at9:30 beginning this Sunday, May 17.

 

May we go with God and together in love and in gratitude now and forever more.
