Women's Trip to the Dominican Republic / Friday, February 4 through Friday, February 11, 2011.

     We are believing God as we press in to truly SEE who He has created the women of La Victoria to be. We will gather to pray about what the trip will look like (healing, serving, praying, relationship).
     Just as important: this week in the DR will be a time of healing and growing for us, as well. Please pray if God would have you join us and grow in faith as you see Him provide!
     First interest meeting is Tuesday, November 9, at 7:30 pm. Contact Barbara Dokter for more details at 720-746-4101 or at home 303-697-6447.

From Hope to Harvest: Hands of the Carpenter Support Banquet

     On Friday, November 5, over 170 people gathered at the Denver Botanic Gardens to support Hands of the Carpenter and their mission to help support single parents and widows, particularly in the area of automotive upkeep.  

     Before the cocktail hour and banquet began, the grounds of the Botanic Garden, along with the wonderful Henry Moore sculptures, were open for strolling and enjoying in the unseasonably warm November sunset.  The wine and beer tasting as well as the outstanding buffet were first rate.  Entertainment by the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Youth Ensemble was entertaining and upbeat.  

     Best of all was the "inside-out" auction, in which supporters vied for the honor of purchasing necessary automotive services for Hands' clients and for their new automotive shop, Colorado Auto Tech.  What a blessing to see such open wallets in tight times!  

    Over 170 people helping to live out Hands' founding scripture:   Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.  ~James 1:27
