Book: Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christ By Richard J. Foster
In Person: April 27 to May 18, June 1 to June 8; 6:30 to 8:00PM
Zoom: May 1 to May 15, May 30 to June 12; 6:30 to 8:00PM
The author of the bestselling celebration of discipline explores the great traditions of Christian spirituality and their role in spiritual renewal today.
In this landmark work, Foster examines the "streams of living water" –– the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. Foster examines the unique contributions of each of these traditions and offers as examples the inspiring stories of faithful people whose lives defined each of these "streams."
Summer Worship Schedule Starting June 7th
8:30 a.m. Outdoor Chapel
10 a.m. Modern Service
If you are interested in helping with setup/teardown let Pastor Matt know we will have a training session in May. We will also need people to help drive the golf cart. Starting in May we will be having a sign up for all of these and for favorite hymns suggestions for our pop up choir to sing.
Pop Up Choir Hymns Selection
As we plan for the Summer Pop Up Choir we like to sing favorite hymns. So put your favorite hymns down on the sheet at the welcome desk.
King Soopers/Safeway Gift Cards:
Did you know that 5% of your grocery purchases can be returned to our church if you have a Safeway gift card to load and reload OR have signed on with King Soopers and designated FUMCCR as your nonprofit organization? Did you know these funds help fund projects in and around the church? Would you like to help bring us back into the $2-3K column?
If you frequent Safeway, simply purchase a grocery card from Theresa Kepple and add money. That card becomes the card you use to purchase groceries. If you wish to use King Soopers, go to KingSoopers.com/CommunityRewards and follow Step #1 to create an account and Step #2 to register our organization (FUMCCR).

“So live in the light of resurrection and renewal of this world and of yourself in a glorious
never-ending joyful dance of grace.” Tim Keller
Weekly Prayer:
Dear Lord by Your radiant and magnificent resurrection, You broke the bonds of death and rose from the grave as a conqueror. You reconciled Heaven and earth. Our life had no hope of eternal happiness before You redeemed us. Your resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence, and brought us joy. How awesome is the tenderness of Your love!
