Hygiene Products Drive

Hygiene Products Drive

July 1–31

When Jesus announced the Kingdom of God, He proclaimed good news for the poor, freedom for the oppressed, and hope for those in need. As followers of Jesus, we believe we are invited to join Him in that work; bringing tangible expressions of God’s love to our neighbors.

Throughout the month of July, we are collecting hygiene products and financial donations to help provide everyday essentials for individuals and families in our community. Something as simple as a toothbrush, shampoo, or deodorant can communicate dignity, care, and the reminder that someone sees them and that God has not forgotten them. These products are often not covered by food assistance programs, leaving families to choose between purchasing basic necessities and paying for other essential expenses.

This is one small way we get to partner with God as He restores lives and demonstrates His Kingdom here and now. Together, we can help restore dignity, improve health, and care for our neighbors in practical ways. Continue reading

Tension and Rhythm

Tension. Just the word itself evokes the physical reaction of our muscles tensing. We avoid tense situations and try not to be too uptight. It would be nice to live by some simple principles that would allow us to live tension-free lives. But Jesus tends to challenge an oversimplified view of the world. He announces the arrival of his Kingdom on Earth but then enters on a donkey and dies on a cross. He teaches the disciples not to be “of the world” but says he does not ask for them to be taken “out” of it. He commands us to be perfect, like our heavenly father, and then turns around and says no one is good but God. Following Jesus seems to involve a lot of paradox, but if we are able to hold his teachings in tension, we can find a new path, what we call in the Vineyard, “the radical middle”.

Hospitality Training

HOSPITALITY TRAINING

Sunday, June 28 | 9:30 AM

At our church, we believe everyone deserves a place to belong. One of the most powerful ways we live out that value is through hospitality. A warm greeting, a welcoming smile, and a genuine connection can make all the difference for someone walking through our doors.

Whether you’re new to serving or have years of experience on the Hospitality Team, we invite you to join us for our Hospitality Training on Sunday, June 28 at 9:30 AM before the service. Together we’ll explore practical ways to create a welcoming environment, strengthen our team, and help every person who visits feel seen, valued, and at home.

This training is open to all current and prospective hospitality volunteers. We’d love for you to join us as we continue building a community where everyone can belong.

Loveland Vineyard-One Day to Feed The World

Your one day transforms their every day.

One Day to Feed the World is Convoy of Hope’s campaign that transforms lives. When everyone commits to giving one day’s salary, we harness the power of equal sacrifice instead of focusing on equal giving. When you give through Convoy of Hope, poverty and hunger are replaced by hope and love.

We are taking our One Day to Feed the World Offering on Oct. 26th.

 

Soup Lunch

We’re excited to invite you to our Community Lunch on Sunday, February 15th, right after service. We’re serving Soups as our provided main dish, great for warming up on a chilly day!

Feel free to bring a side dish to share if you’d like. Some tasty ideas include salads, bread, charcuterie cheeses and meats, or even a sweet dessert. The real joy is in gathering together, sharing food, and catching up on life.

Our potluck is all about filling our cups so we have plenty to pour out to others. Plus, it’s a fun and wallet-friendly way to enjoy a meal together outside of dining out every week.

Living Room Worship

Join us on Friday, October 3rd in our living room at 7PM as we simply come before our God with the desperate longing for more of Him. For address details, text (970) 667-8668 to learn more.

Vineyard worship started in a living room with burned out bible teachers that had a simple goal, let’s just get together and worship. They came with a desperation to encounter God’s presence; the humility to say, “what I have isn’t working, it’s not enough- I need you.” Hunger is soil that intimate worship grows out of. We want to press into this legacy of intimate worship and hunger.

But How?

New Sermon Series

“Just follow Jesus and love one another.” It sounds so simple, so obvious. But life tends to be more complicated. Lots of sermons convey the beautiful truth that God wants a relationship with us and the power of Jesus’s incarnation, death, and resurrection to transform our lives. It’s a compelling message, yet it leaves many of us asking the question: “but how?” How can we practically respond to Jesus’s invitation to follow him, grow to become like him, and do the things that he does? How can we live free in his grace while we allow the Spirit to transform us?

Fortunately, for thousands of years, Christians around the world have found God in various common practices giving us a heritage of wisdom and examples to draw from. These practices are not a set of rules to follow or the secret to pleasing God. They don’t win us brownie points or gold stars. They are simply ways that we can respond to Jesus’s invitation to us. It is not necessary to do every practice all of the time, but if we allow it, Jesus will lead us to the things that will bring us closer to him in the season we are in.

Mark Comer writes in “Practicing the Way” that following Jesus involves three steps: being with Jesus, becoming like him, and doing what he does. There are many ways to be with Jesus: rest, solitude, prayer. Each one helps us to get out of our own way and hear from him. Other practices help us to become like Jesus such as discernment, community, fasting, and scripture. Each one can be challenging and can be done in many ways. We can also practice doing the things Jesus did in ways like service, generosity, and hospitality. In each practice, the accountability and support of community makes a huge difference in our ability to follow through and figure out how to do each practice in a way that works for us.

Join us as we learn about and experiment with ways to experience more of God’s presence.
