This summer, I’ve been learning about how watching people is a form of worship. Watching them connect with God and watching them use their gifts. Watching them be gracious, patient, and vulnerable. Watching them take care of their neighbors’ pets and lawns. Watching them pursue other people.
When I was growing up, pastors always looked one way: They wore long black robes with purple stoles, and they were men. As a kid, I never questioned this; it was just how things were. Fast forward many years, and my husband and I started attending Pulpit Rock. But then this thing happened. A woman taught one Sunday.
Asher Tuggle shares about his time in Corpus Christie doing clean up from Hurricane Harvey: “It was amazing to see God using us to make an impression on the kids [and] give the worship leader hope for what his kids could grow into, just by us showing up and singing some songs with people we may never meet again.”
On Sunday we sent a group of our students off to Cortez, CO for the week. We thought you’d enjoy an insiders view of the all the fun. So Mark has asked a few students to give daily updates on the trip.
There is a constant struggle and tension in my life between following rules and showing God’s grace and generosity. But I am often reminded that I represent a generous, caring Heavenly Father who would always choose to give.
No form of summer social media sharing is more common than the mission trip selfie. But these types of photos often bring up questions of motivation and heart. Jonathan shares his thoughts on selfies and Pulpit Rock’s approach to short term mission trips.
In June, ten members of our church went on a trip to Haiti with Mission of Hope. They visited homes, hosted a Kids Club, distributed solar lights, water filters and goats. Here are a few snapshots of the trip.
Last week we began a new five-week series on worship entitled “Coloring Outside the Lines.” We are exploring what it means to worship, how to define it and what it looks like. To help expand our view of worship we are introducing a new area located in the sanctuary called a Prayer Wall.
Sports Camp 2018 is a wrap! What. A. Week. Cheer, basketball, ultimate frisbee, martial arts, cooking, soccer, Team 45. Here are some of our favorite moments. (Watch closely and you might catch someone you know doing The Worm.)
Tonight’s the night! We kick off our epic week of Sports Camp! Here’s a quick video to bring you up to speed and a few ways you can join with us in prayer this week.
Over the past several months it has been clear that God has been bringing young adults to Pulpit Rock. With the UCCS campus right next door and Colorado Springs being an incredible place to live and work, we want this place to feel like home and to make space for connections and community to happen.
While debate rages around our country, one thing we know is that children need a safe place to sleep. At Pulpit Rock, we don’t just talk about changing our world, we actually do it. In this case, that means meeting the needs of children in foster care in Colorado Springs. We proudly bring you: The Bunkbed Project.
