Below, you will find the most recent “Word (or two)…” from our Transitional Regional Pastor, José F. Morales Jr. We hope you enjoy your visit to your website! Let us know if you have suggestions which will improve this site.
A Word (or two) from our Regional Pastor…
(see below for Jose’s message in Spanish)
We Disciples believe in gathering. We believe that in gathering, the Body of Christ—that is, you and me… all of us!—we are re-membered as Christ’s presence in the world. This is why Jesus promises us, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I’m there with them” (Matt 18.20); and why the writer of Hebrews admonishes, “Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other…” (Hebrews 10.25).
On May 4-6, the Central Rocky Mountain Region will be gathering for the 2012 Spring Feast (formerly, the Regional Assembly). We will be gathering to “dine in”: to celebrate with Thai food and ice cream, with song and praise, with Bread and Wine. We will gather to hear the word from our pastor, Sharon Watkins (General Minister and President).
And on May 4-6, at South Broadway Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Disciples from Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and northern New Mexico will be gathering to “carry out”: to be renewed, revived, reinvigorated for evangelism, mission and witness in the world. We will “carry out” the Good News of Jesus Christ—Good News that is still good, Good News that can change our lives, our communities, and our world!
Come, let us gather together May 4-6 at the Spring Feast! Jesus will be there! (“For where two or three are gathered in my name…!”)
Excited to see you,
José F. Morales Jr.
Transitional Regional Minister
Spring Feast!

How many of you know about the Mountain Top Fund for the Region? As a new clergy person to the region I have just learned about it. It is my understanding that we all have the opportunity to contribute to it (either with a one time gift or on an ongoing basis) as we seek to live out our covenant with the region. How has this fund been advertised in your congregation? Please help me think of creative ways to share information about this fund with my congregation!
Our regional minister was at First Church, Colorado Springs, on Sunday, Jan. 22. He preached the sermon at both services, but after a fellowship dinner, he led a workshop on spiritual life which was very helpful.
Dear Regional Clergy and Churches,
We have two special day offerings coming up in the next couple of months. I hope you will enthusiastically communicate this with your congregations! The Thanksgiving offering goes toward our institutions of higher learning! I was a recipient of monies given to this when I was in school and boy did I need it! And 100% of the Christmas offering stays in our region! Our Regional Resource Team’s goal is for our churches together to raise $25,000! Together we can do it!
William, call me at the Regional office (303-561-1790) and I’ll see if I can help you. Sandra
My mom is new to the Denver area and looking for a Disciples of Christ Church. She will need transportation. She lives at the Villa at Sunny Acres in Thornton near 104th and I25. Any suggestions.
