Are you struggling with social anxiety or lack of social connection? Our connection to others begins with our connection to self. In this Well Beings Workshop™ facilitated by Lauren Whalen, LPCC, we’ll explore together, among other things, the role that vulnerability and shame play in our connection to self and others. Lauren is a therapist at Insight Counseling with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University as well as a Bachelors in Psychology from The University of Iowa.

The dinner party in Luke chapter 7 takes us deeper on our journey of being forgiven and forgiving ourselves. Being forgiven much empowers us to love much. Forgiving ourselves frees us to love and be loved even more. Entering into the challenge of forgiving ourselves allows us to forgive others more generously. #RevJennyMorgan in our fifth sermoncast of our Series on Forgiveness. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels

“It may ever be superficial to forgive someone their debt if you haven’t taken the time to assess the toll that it’s taken on you. We may say that we’ve forgiven someone because we just don’t want to feel the pain or deal with the problem, so just forgive them. But I say to you friends: Forgiveness is not a tool to avoid conflict but to face it.” #MarkTidd on The Wonky Math Forgiveness, our current Lent Series you can watch it here on our feauture videos. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels #Forgiveness #Lent #Lent2019

What are the roles you use to explain to others who you are? What are the labels you use to describe yourself? What are the names or roles the “world” has given you? Do these roles and labels really tell others who you are or just how you fit (or don’t fit) into society? Join us at the Holiday for this Well Beings Workshop™ facilitated by Millie Cline, MA, Spiritual Director, for: • Experiential activities to help you KNOW yourself beyond how the world defines you. • A time of reflection and discussion • A deeper understanding of YOUR unique reflection of God/ the divine Bring a lunch or grab something before we start the workshop.

The biblical language around forgiveness is often taken from the world of commerce, of debts incurred and debts release, of assessing the toll both to build and to forgive. Forgiveness is necessary for any and all our relationships to be healthy and have the capacity for growth. We grossly underestimate what is at stake when we light dismiss the consequences of having been wounded or cause the wounds of others or when we refuse to forgive or even consider it. The way forward is always through forgiveness. #MarkTidd speak on Forgiveness in our currrent Series of Lent. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels #Lent #Forgiveness #AffirmingChurch

You are WELCOMED here as you are, a BELOVED child of God, and that is how we see you. Join us at 9:00 or 10:30 AM #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels

“I’m a beloved child of God who sins, who does wrong, who’s not always quick to do the right thing. But my identity is not summed up by my failings, rather by my divine status or my calling as God’s beloved child. And this is not an identity that we create for ourselves, it’s the identity we’ve been given by the one who brought us into existence out of love. The more grounded in our true identity, the much easier it becomes to both offer and receive forgiveness which, in turn, makes for healthier relationships.” #MarkTidd on Forgiveness, our current Lent Series that continues tomorrow at 9:00 or 10:30 AM.

Maundy Thursday is a remembrance of the night Jesus was in Jerusalem, celebrating the Passover Freedom Feast. In addition to that significant meal, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet.

Childcare provided. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels #MaundyThursday #affirmingchurch

We are preparing for our #Easter Celebration and Baptisms on Sunday April 21 with THREE morning services: 8:00, 9:30 & 11:00 AM. Childcare provided for ages 0-4 at all services. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels #Easter2019

“Real forgiveness doesn’t always restore relationships, it can, but not always. Real forgiveness doesn’t mean we forget the pain, but real forgiveness always sets someone free. And real forgiveness is always expensive, it’s expensive both ways - when we offer it and we admit we need it. Forgiveness is not cheap, it cost us something to forgive, and it costs us something to admit we need forgiveness from somebody. We give something up when we choose to forgive, we die in a sense, we give something up when we seek to be forgiven.” Jenny Morgan on our third message on Forgiveness in our Lent Series. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels #Forgiveness #Lent #Lent2019 #RevJennyMorgan

Looking through the lenses of the Ancient Near East — the historical context from which our Biblical text emerged — forgiveness acquires a sacrificial dimension that might sound very foreign to us today, especially if the question that we ask when approaching this practice is, “What’s in it for me?” In other words, the Western/American mindset of individualism/personal freedom — which dominates our social, cultural, and even religious landscape — creates a significant distance between us and Jesus’ world, a distance where the wider and larger picture of forgiveness can easily get lost. When Jesus forgives his killers even in light of his impending, inevitable death (Luke 23:34*), he does so not because it will bring immediate and palpable benefits to himself (for he is dying either way), but rather because he desires a world without violence, even as he is the one bearing the dehumanizing consequences of it right then. Jesus is choosing to see a world that moves beyond his individual self, a world where the stakes involved in whether or not to forgive are much higher; a world where one’s decisions will always have an impact beyond what they can see. When our point of departure becomes the collective rather than the individual, the primary question we ask is no longer, “What’s in it for me?”, but rather, “What’s in it for the greater good?” The most absurd part is that, when we ask this new question, we soon discover that answering it will always mean giving up the control we’ve been taught to relentlessly pursue. Or, to put it in a language that’s more relevant for us today, forgiveness — as seen from the lenses of the Ancient Near East — is the sacrifice of our “individual freedom” for a kind of freedom that surpasses the individual. #CaioSantos shares our second message on Forgiveness in our Lent Series. #HChurchDenver #HighlandsChurchNorthDenver #Liveandlovewithoutlabels

In a time when there more people living than ever, but more people who are lonely than ever, we need to return to the magic of sharing meals together to mend our sense of isolation and bring us into joyful community. #MarkTidd #HChurchDenver #HighalndsChurchNorthDenver

A special visit from the co-pastors of our sister community Left Hand Church in Longmont, Colorado. One year after their launch, they stopped by to share of the journey that led them to Left Hand and report on the goodness of their first year as a church.
