Let's Reach Our Community
by Pastor Micheal
I started my thoughts in row 30, seat D, of my flight back across the Atlantic from spending a week in Lebanon. I had been working with the students and leaders at Middle Eastern University that have only one thing on their mind - how can we

get Jesus to the Middle East and North Africa.
That's our heart here at Campion -- to be All About People. To get Jesus to the people right here in our communities and work places.
Campion will remain a campus church, but we would be standing on only one leg if all we further impact is our campus. Making a difference on our campus is important, but that will be all the more effective if we lead by example in reaching out to our community.
Each fall we challenge the ministry leaders to set SMART goals for the next year. Our pastoral team join in and set goals for our areas of leadership. One of these goals for me in 2017 is to mobilize Campion to more connections and involvement in the community. Not just in a corporate approach, but in individual and creative ways.
What should that look like? What can Campion offer and sustain? What does the community need? These and a hundred other questions are already lined up.
So here is an invitation. If the idea of leading our church into community impact is a spark for you--let's talk. I would love to have a think team come together and brainstorm, listen, and look.

Musical Variety Enhances the Worship Services
by Pastor Nestor
Here at Campion, we are All About People. And this includes involving a variety of instruments and people in our worship services. Here are few highlights:
Ukuleles - On September 10, talented church members and students joined together to play their ukuleles as Yves Clouzet led our praise team. Bill Hay strummed his baritone ukulele. It was a pleasant sight to see and soothing sound to hear.
Strings - We have been involving string trios and quartets in our worship services. On November 19, a string sextet joined the worship team in leading our praise time. The string group included: Heidi Sorensen (violin), Madi Jordan (violin), Elle Jean Albertsen (violin), Nolan Eickmann (cello), Cassandra Carr (cello) and Ken Albertsen (double bass). Pastor Nestor composed string introductions for two songs and the string players played with composure and finesse.
Bagpipe - Yes, a bagpipe. Logan Carle, a student at Campio
n Academy, joined the praise team in leading worship. Logan played the bagpipe with a subdued and melodious power, and he even dressed in a piper's uniform (kilt included). Many church members and attendees enjoyed the triumphant sounds of the bagpipe.
Brass - On December 17, a group of brass players will join the praise team for worship. The music will have a Christmas theme.
Your Involvement - If you sing or play an instrument and would like to get involved, please contact pastor Nestor at
[email protected].

Young Adult Options for Fellowship & Bible Study
by Pastor Esequias
It is very rewarding being able to serve the Young Adults in our church and in our community. We have a solid Young Adult Sabbath School class which is currently studying the book
Steps To Christ. And we have also started meeting on Friday nights to have a Small Group Bible Study in our home at
6:30. We are going through the book of Mark and follow the simple method of reading, and discussing.
It has been great meeting with our young adults to open the Sabbath with a powerful Bible study, and we would like to encourage the young adults from our church and community to join us for an uplifting time on Fridays at
6:30 in our home.

Experience the Power of Prayer
Eva Martin leads a prayer ministry at 12:00 noon every Wednesday in the Campion Church Fellowship Hall. You are invited to come and join in prayer and study from noon till 1:00 pm.
The group is studying the book Prayer That Moves Mountains by Diane Pespes. Eva noted that her inspiration and call to pray comes from Jesus' example. She reminds us also that the new sharing book for 2017 is Teach Us to Pray by Tamyra Horst. "I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you" (Jeremiah 31:3). Come and experience the power of prayer. We will look forward to seeing you there.

Campion Welcomes Maritza Lozano
It's always nice during the winter months when the academy students are in town and help swell the fellowship within the sanctuary. And, it's an added blessing when one of the students makes the decision to join our membership rather than to be "just visiting."
Because of this, we are thrilled to be able to welcome Campion Academy sophomore, Maritza Lozano, to the Campion family. Maritza is joining us from Amarillo, Texas, where she lives with her mother, younger brother, and her older sister, April, a senior at Campion this year. Maritza has two additional older sisters and an older brother as well.
Like most academy students, Maritza is very active with school as well as personal interests. She enjoys working out, drawing, and being out in nature. She loves Colorado weather and is looking forward to seeing some snow coming our way before long.
After graduation, Maritza would like to attend college and then plans to start her own business later on. For now, she would like her fellow Campion members to know that she loves dogs and cats and enjoys taking care of them. If anyone needs a pet sitter, she's here and willing to help!

CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. The CNC in CNC Machining stands for Computer Numerical Control.
