All Saints Sunday Preparations

Dear FBCD Family & Friends:

Therefore since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses...

On November 5, we will celebrate All Saints' Sunday by acknowledging family members, friends, and colleagues who have died this past year. If you would like to honor a person and to have them listed in the weekly bulletin, please call or email the church office by Wednesday, November 1, with that individual’s name, birth and death dates.

I am fond of the quote, “No one is ever dead, until they’re forgotten.” On November 5, we will remember the living faith of those that have gone before us. As we look to the past and those that have preceded us in death, may we together find hope and strength for our journeys ahead.

Whether you are able to be in service or not, please plan to participate in this sacred ritual of remembrance.

Peace,







First Baptist Church of Denver is a welcoming and affirming, inclusive Christian community that embraces diversity, engages personal faith, and serves with compassion.

Weekly Words - 10/12/17

Dear FBCD Family & Friends:

I trust this week has been a good week for you. Following last Sunday’s service and sermon, I took intentional time to admire the stars in the night sky. In fact, I took a mini-retreat and viewed the night sky above the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota. My first evening of viewing, I witnessed a shooting star as well as a couple of orbiting satellites. It was good food for my soul. I hope you’ve had a chance to view the beauty nature and God’s handiwork this week too.

Looking to this Sunday, please remember to allow for extra time to arrive at FBCD on account of the marathon taking place near the Capitol Hill district. Please don’t be discouraged by the race and different traffic patterns.

FBCD’s service will be a moving one filled with good music and an inspired sermon.

Invite someone to join you. They’ll be glad you did!

Peace,
