This past Sunday, we had the opportunity to hear from Cassidy, the Director of Scarlet Hope Denver, about the work they do in Denver. If you missed her invitation to action and partnership, you can re-watch her announcement above.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbor through the joys of life and through its pains. We are called to be there in times of righteousness and in times of injustice. At Park Church, we encourage everyone who calls Park home to live this mission. As always, we are inviting our community to participate, loving and serving our neighbors by getting involved with one of our Missions Partners. Scarlet Hope is a great example of this kind of opportunity!

Mission and Action:
Scarlet Hope seeks to love and serve those who are in the adult entertainment industry and to share Jesus with those who are exploited and trafficked.

Who is Served:
Scarlet Hope serves those in the adult entertainment industry and often connects with and serves those who are being trafficked.

Why is it Important:
There are 65+ adult entertainment establishments in Denver. Colorado is ranked 15th in the U.S. for highest volume of signals to made to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Learn more about trafficking and exploitation in Denver. (Source Scarlet Hope).

Ways to Serve:

On Sunday, October 6, we highlighted the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, where our Global Missions Partner, Marwan Aboul-Zelof, and his family live. Marwan helped plant City Bible Church, an English-speaking church in the heart of Beirut, Lebanon. As the conflict rages around them, we are calling our community to pray for Marwan, his family, their church, and peace in Lebanon.

Below you will find a resource guide to pray through, in addition to other ways to engage. Please lift up our brother Marwan and pray for safety, protection, and peace.

Jason Procopio and his family have been faithfully serving and planting churches in the heart of Paris, France for more than ten years.

On Sunday, May 26, we had the joy of ordaining two new elders at Park Church: Dan Boryla and Chance Coe.

What are Elders?

Elders at Park Church bear covenantal responsibility for the local church and are charged by God to serve the church by providing shepherding care, theological leadership, and organizational oversight as we pursue our mission together. The overall set of responsibilities incumbent upon the elders includes four primary areas: to know, feed, lead, and protect this local expression of God’s people under their shepherding care.

This Sunday, May 5, we were happy to announce that Jennifer Hudson, Director of Park College and our Residency Program, is entering a three-month Sabbatical starting this week.

A sabbatical is a extended period of rest, rejuvenation, and reconnection with God and with family. It’s considered a “best practice” in healthy churches to send pastors and staff on sabbaticals periodically (at Park Church, this is every seven years). Watch the video of Jennifer’s Sabbatical “sending” above to learn more, and contact Neil Long, Executive Pastor, with any questions at neil@parkchurch.org.

Please join us in prayer for Jennifer and Jonny during this time! We’re grateful for the opportunity to send them and we look forward to what God will do in their lives.
