By Jon Roberts – Colorado Springs, Colorado … Pastors, chaplains from local Centura/AdventHealth hospitals, and conference office employees gathered for the annual winter minister's meetings in Colorado Springs on January 31.
The event, typically held in February, is a highlight for the pastors who can fellowship with their colleagues from around RMC and provides an opportunity to take home some practical learning and apply it in their home churches.

By Joel Reyes — It took me by surprise. Not the prayer. His prayer was short and simple. “Lord, bless us today and thank you for our food.” There were a few more words I don’t remember because, at that point, I was deep in thought and gratitude for his simple prayer.
He had come to our school four years earlier. He had never seen a Bible before, but he brought one as part of his school supplies on the first day of school. He had a hard time making sense of the book. It had lots of pages and some strange words, but he seemed to like the stories.
One day, as the class wrapped up morning worship, Sam* raised his hand and asked, “Can you pray for my grandma? She is sick.” Soon, he was talking about Jesus and His death on the cross for our sins.

RMCNews with Jana Thurber – Denver, Colorado … “Women need other women. We build a better community when we gather for Bible study,” Jana Thurber, RMC women’s ministries director, commented on the importance of the outreach ministry.
Thurber is excited to plan events for the women of RMC in 2022. She sees the ministry as a chance for women to fellowship, support each other, and study God’s Word together. “To pray, laugh, praise God, cry or provide comfort. Or to celebrate each other’s joys and answers to prayer. We are stronger when we journey together. We are stronger when we serve each other!”
According to her, women’s ministries exist to serve and provide outreach to the community.

By Dustin Stegen — If there is anyone out there who is like me, this blog might be for you. Let’s talk about sugar. Ah, sugar, so tasty, so lovely. I want it all the time. It is almost everywhere and in so many foods. Sometimes sugar is the main ingredient in some of our favorite foods. All of this sugar may be great for a few seconds on our tongues but (I don’t want to be too cliche here) all that sugar really likes to hang out around my midsection for days. Sometimes years. |
