Opening Our Doors

By: DCE Intern Payton DeVencenty

Saturday, October 27th was a wonderful day for Holy Cross Lutheran as we opened our building and land to the community to enjoy during our annual Fall Festival. The weather was spectacular, the views of Pikes Peak were fantastic, and the amount of candy distributed…nearly insane.

We couldn’t have asked for nicer weather, as the sun shone for the whole event and not a hiccup was made concerning wind and the like. Our guests and members enjoyed food from different food trucks, games put on by volunteers, bounce houses for the kids, and
a general sense of community which I truly believe will help bring new members to worship with us throughout the week.

Community events are often underplayed, a simple gathering to pass on goods or get out of the house. Holy Cross took the steps over Fall Festival to participate in something incarnational, a way to make our members, staff, and visitors all engage in something
together. To take down walls, literally to step outside of them, and begin having simple inviting conversations into the church and into our lives.

So yes, this event was a success, regardless of numbers of attendees or of the number of candy bars passed out.

This event allowed the body of Christ to reach into the community and provided an atmosphere of welcome to those who might not otherwise get anywhere near a church building. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped to make this event possible, and may we all thank God for the little moments which remind us of His presence.
