Pastor Richard's Reflection
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.”- John 1:5
​
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Briana and I traveled to be with family in Virginia over the holidays, and we had a great time. As I mentioned in my sermon last weekend, we were able to worship at my former church, Raleigh Court Presbyterian in Roanoke. This was the church that supported my ordination. It was very special to go back and see so many people I had not seen for years. They are very happy for me that I found such a special church in Colorado! I made sure to tell everyone how blessed I am to be the Pastor at COTH!
​
Now that I’m back, I have been reflecting on how wonderful Christmas Eve was this season. We had such an incredible turnout. I was told 130 people worshipped with us that evening. If that isn’t the most people we’ve had in worship since I’ve been here, it’s close to it. I give thanks to the staff, the choirs and musicians and everyone else that worked behind the scenes to make Christmas Eve so special. As always, my favorite part of the service was when we lit candles together and sang Silent Night. It’s a moment I look forward to all year.
​
As we begin the new year, I give thanks for the light of Christ that shined on Christmas Eve through us. I give thanks for our call to continue shining the light of Christ in the weeks, months and years to come. And I give thanks that I am blessed to be your Pastor as we do our best to shine the light of Christ together.
​
May the Love of God surround you and your families this New Year,
​
Pastor Richard
Love in Action
Mission of the Month
Pura Vida Ministries
Guatemala is its people; Pura Vida is creating a brighter future for children in Guatemala!
Pura Vida Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to promote health and education in the Quiché department of Guatemala. We are currently focusing on rural villages in the western highlands of Guatemala.
Often when trying to help the poor, people want to give. That is a great impulse. The challenge, however, is to give in such a way that beneficiaries become more self-sufficient in the long term. At Pura Vida we are working to create programs that harness the giving impulse in a way that results in lasting change.
Church of the Hills, PCUSA partners with Pura Vida Ministries through our mission giving each year! There are additional ways that you can support this nonprofit. Please find out more about Pura Vida at our Mission Month service on November 16th and look them up in their website:
“Love in Action” is the Church of the Hills mission team. The primary goal of the Love in Action Team is to serve the needs of others locally, nationally and internationally. The people of Church of the Hills are blessed with unique gifts; although the size of our congregation is smaller, sharing these gifts remains a vital part of our outreach ministry.
The “Love in Action” Committee will guide us to be Christ’s faithful Witnesses. As such, we will share a deep life of service, and participate in God’s mission to care for the needs of the sick, the poor, and the lonely to establish Christ’s just, loving, and peaceable rule in the world.
