New Children's Sermon Book from Aram Haroutunian

The Answer is Always "Jesus"

Authored by Aram Haroutunian

Aram Haroutunian gave children's sermons for fifteen years at a large church in Golden, Colorado. In all, he presented well over 500 children's sermons in that role. This book contains seventy-four of his most memorable presentations, many of them unforgettable due to the children's responses. Pastors, homeschoolers, parents who often lead family devotions, or other storytellers will find these stories, along with comments about props and how to prepare and present them, to be an invaluable asset in reconnecting with the simplest, most profound truths of Scripture, and then to envision how best to communicate these so even a child can understand them.

A Denver Book of Prayer for January

Denver Book of Prayer for January is provided by Confluence Ministries (www.confluenceministries.org).

Confluence Ministries is a non-profit organization set in the middle of the at-risk West Colfax neighborhood of Denver.  Our building- a former Jewish synagogue and yeshiva, then vacant and a hub for crime- is now a vibrant, life-giving outreach center serving a community in need.

We aren't a church, nor do we hold church services, but we share the love of Jesus simply by proactively caring for the needs of our neighbors. We believe the work of our hands speak unmistakably the love of Christ.   

Being a catalyst is a primary function of Confluence-- bringing together diverse streams of the Body of Christ, with their talents and resources, for the sole purpose of fulfilling God's call to love and serve.

We love. We serve. Because Christ commands us to.

Advent Liturgies - Thursday, Dec. 22nd 5pm and 6pm.

5pm and 6pm Thursdays Dec. 22nd.

Pomegranate Place

750 Clarkson St. in Capital Hill

Join us for half an hour of Advent reflections at Pomegranate Place.

For the four Thursdays of Advent this year, Urban Skye and Pomegranate Place will provide a container for reconnecting with that ancient rhythm. The container is a short liturgy (with some things borrowed and some things new) that will engage the soul. Each of the four liturgies will bring to light different parts of the Nativity Story. We hope it will help you launch your own season of peace.
