The house at 6700 S. Penrose Court has been renovated over the past several weeks in anticipation of Dr. Jim Perkins and family moving in. A number of church members have stepped forward and worked diligently to accomplish a tremendous change in the apprearance of the house. This generous contribution of time and effort as well as financial support is very much appreciated by the Trustees and Pastor Search Team.

Elevator Fundraiser

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I would like to thank you again for all of your support from the Elevator Fundraiser. This past summer at Missionfuge, our group experienced a sincere growth in their relationship with God and each other. Honestly, I have never experienced the ripple effect I have seen from this mission trip. Thank you for your prayer and financial support and I'm grateful to report to you that our youth ministry is healthier than it has been since I've been here. The growth that has taken place spiritually and numerically is completely a God thing but your support has been noticed and I believe God has used each of you to help transform this ministry into a vibrant, exciting, relevant ministry to teenagers. Thanks so much. I'm certain all my chaperones fully agree with me and they thank you too for making this trip possible for them. You have thanked us for the Day of Celebration we have just had but really the thanks belongs to you.

Sincerely, Lee O'Briant

Worship & Music

What a joy it has been to serve as your interim worship and music minister during the summer months. As in all churches, the "here and gone" summer tendency prevailed here as well. However, God still richly blessed and we had some glorious worship services!!! As we enter these fall, winter, and holiday months let me encourage you to join us.

The Church Family at worship is always the most important "choir" and will always be the featured "performers" (for God).

However, if you are an adult and can match pitch let me encourage you to join us for Adult Choir on Wednesdays at 7:15. We will begin holiday music soon.

The Children are working on a musical "The Great Kingdom Caper" on Sundays at 5:30 for drama and 6:30 for the music. A presentation will be scheduled for later October. Regular children's choirs will begin in November.

For now, the Youth Musicians are meeting on an individual and small group basis with me and will be utilized in worship beginning in October.

Small groups of Instrumentalists will be practicing on a scheduled basis and blessing us in worship during these exciting upcoming months. Thank you for your encouragement and continued prayer support!

Mark

Welcome to our New Pastor

Our new adventure begins October 1st ! We want to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Jim Perkins, his wife Beverly, and their 2 children, Ben and Elizabeth. Dr. Perkins will begin his ministry here at ARBC on October 1, 2003. He and his family will be staying in the Church owned house at 6700 Penrose on a temporary basis until they find and purchase their new home here in Denver. The house on Penrose needs painting and cleaning before they can move in. If you can help in any way contact Jeff Phillips. Pray for safe travel for the Perkins and for guidance for all of us here at ARBC in how God would have us serve in this new adventure.

Pat and I are overwhelmed with the expressions of appreciation and for the beautiful picture of the congregation you gave us. It will grace our home as long as life lasts. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.
