MHA AND PECOS CHURCH JOIN IN COMMUNITY CLOTHING DRIVE FOR RECENT DENVER IMMIGRANTS

Christina Hernández – Denver, Colorado … Over Christmas break, the Denver Hispanic (Pecos) Church and Mile High Academy (MHA) partnered in a clothing drive. Since December 9, more than 2,000 refugees have arrived in the city of Denver, among them several Adventist families. The church has had an increase of visitors who have expressed a dire need for winter clothing, shoes, hats, gloves, personal hygiene items, and even household items.

It was when word came to MHA that Denver Park Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church, La Nueva Esperanza Seventh-day Adventist Church, and the community all responded immediately by bringing bags and bags of items that would benefit the recent refugees.  A team of community members from MHA and the ministry team from Pecos church joined forces to sort and separate these items in MHA’s cafeteria. The church community outreach team then transported the items to the Pecos church to be made available for those in need.

STEWARDSHIP: NO WORRIES

By Doug Inglish

“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:31-34, NIV)

I suspect that like me, you find this passage challenging. It’s even more difficult to understand it in the King James Version of the Bible from which I was taught. The phrase in NIV is translated “do not worry” and in KJV is rendered as “take no thought”. I might keep the worry under control, but how do I shop for groceries if I am instructed to not think about what my family will eat?

REFLECTION: YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

Rick Mautz – Denver, Colorado … By now, many of us have already given up on our New Year’s resolutions (if we even try at all anymore). Maybe you were too optimistic about the changes that you wanted to make, or maybe the temptations you were struggling with were just too great. Maybe, if you had just had a little support, an accountability partner, it would have been different.

What is this New Year’s resolution thing all about anyway. Most of us know that there are things we should change in our lives, things we could do better. We think about what we “should do” during the year but just don’t have the time, the energy or even enough desire, so we keep putting it off till the new year, when we think, “I’m going to do things differently this year”, or “This is a good time to make some changes”. It’s good to want to improve our lives, and to put away habits that, let’s face it, just aren’t doing us any good.
