I just finished reading "The Prodigal God" by Timothy Keller.  Wow!!  He puts in a precise way what we want Clear Creek Neighborhood church to be about.  Listen to this statement:  "If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishoners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must be declaring a different message than Jesus did."
That is a compelling statement!!  We believe that a new kind of church in Clear Creek county Colorado is starting to emerge.  It has the deep desire and conviction to declare the message of Jesus, maybe best summed up in Galatians 4:1-7.
Since we last posted a blog we have continued our Sunday night meetings.  This past Sunday night we had about seventeen people at an Advent party.  We have one more meeting this coming Sunday night and then we will take a break until after the first of the year.
We have more intentionally entered into a partnership with a young couple--in their twenties--Kevin and Anna Trivits and their brand new baby girl, Daphne Rose.  We will tell you more about this in coming news.  With them, in January we are starting twice a month, "Family Nights".  These will be at Kevin and Anna's home to start with and a time and place to invite people to gather and share a meal and gospel stories.
Also in 2014 we hope to start our first 'worship gatherings' and a relationship seminar which will focus on blended family challenges relevant to all relationships.
We are excited and thankful for these developments that have given our work here some momentum.
Thank you for your continued prayer and support.
