2nd annual refuge creative artists showcase
sunday august 17th, 4pm
at miramonte lodge
we are excited to host our 2nd annual end of summer creative arts evening at the refuge, coming up sunday august 17th. this will
be a chance for all creative artists from any medium--music, art, photography, writing, drama, dance, comedy--across ages &
abilities to share work from a christian worldview. submission deadline is august 3rd.
the born again church tour 2008
october 17th & 18th at foothills community church
mark your calendars now! this will be a great event for denver, a chance for many to come together and explore
new ways of living out our faith in Jesus in a changing world. the refuge has gone to off the map the past two
years in seattle & are excited to be a part of pulling off this regional conversation. spread the word!
one of the highest values at the refuge is community, life lived together. to us, church was never about coming every week to get a fix and then going home. it was a commitment to really knowing each other, sharing burdens, meeting needs, encouraging each other on the journey. we hope everything we do cultivates community, but for the next few weeks we will spend some extra time & energy developing life “together.”
