New Series: To Easter
March 28, 2011
Easter stands at the center of the Christian faith. Every year we celebrate the holiday and remember the last events of Jesus’ life, and in our culture even people who don’t follow Jesus join in the celebration by joining in egg hunts, buying Easter baskets, and new spring clothes! But do we really understand Easter? Beyond the Sunday-school answer, “Jesus died for our sins” do we really know what we’re celebrating? What is sin, and why did Jesus have to die for it? Couldn’t God just forgive us and move on? Does it matter if we really believe Jesus rose from the dead or not? Join us April 3, 10, 17 (Palm Sunday), and 24 (Easter Sunday) for our new series as we tackle these questions and more on our way To Easter.

Lent
March 9, 2011
Have you ever observed Lent?
If you grew up in liturgical church, you’re probably familiar with the tradition of Lent. But you may not have understood exactly why your church observed it. Or, perhaps Lent simply felt like a ritual to you with little to no relevance to your daily life. If you didn’t grow up in the church, or in a church that celebrated Lent, it may be a foreign concept for you. With all that in mind, and even though New Denver Church isn’t a “liturgical” church per se, we want to encourage you to think about celebrating Lent this year. Here’s a little bit of background.
