The Ecumenical Church of Pueblo West will hold it’s annual church picnic on August 16th at 4:00 pm. A meat and drinks will be provided by the church and the Board of Directors.

There will be sports equipment available for both young and old. This is a great time for all ages to get together in a setting, other than church service, for fun and fellowship. Please plan to attend.
AMBASSADORS
IN WHAT WAY MIGHT CHRISTIANS BE CALLED GOD’S AMBASSADORS?
BIBLE READING: 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Christians represent the Kingdom of God
An ambassador is an official representative from one country to another. As believers, we are Christ’s ambassadors, sent with his message of reconciliation to the world. An ambassador of reconciliation has an important responsibility. We dare not take this responsibility lightly. How well are you fulfilling your commission as Christ’s ambassador?
BIBLE READING: Exodus 7:1-14
Christians represent God
God called Moses his ambassador. An ambassador represents another country, another type of people, and often another point of view. We are each God’s ambassadors-representing to the world that Christians are a different kind of people with a different lifestyle. Much of the world knows nothing about God except what it sees in the lives of God’s people. What kind of God would they think you represent? Taking note of how you come across to others gives you a good indication of how well you are representing God.
