Prophecy Countdown Coming to Campion
November 9-18 6:30 every evening except Sunday and Wednesday
Speaker: Micheal Goetz

Bible prophecy has predicted human history with 100% accuracy. Now its pages point to evidence that world-changing events are on the horizon. Join us on opening night, Thursday, November 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church to learn how to pinpoint the signs that we are entering the last days of the Book of Revelation, uncover the true identity of the Antichrist, and discover the role you play for your friends and family, as the global crisis brings us closer to the final...Prophecy Countdown.

Did You Know?
The 10/40 window is the least evangelized by Christianity part of the world, but is home to the majority of the world's peoples
-
yet the reverse remains true for Adventist church members. Some of the challenges to the spread of the Gospel are religious liberty, poverty, and related socioeconomic and cultural factors.

Thanksgiving Food Baskets
When you think of sitting down for your Thanksgiving meal and see your overburdened table of mashed potatoes, turkey or your vegetarian option, dressing, bread, pie, and other delicious options, we want you to think of families who might not have the money to supply all those wonderful items.
We are looking for your help to supply those items in Thanksgiving baskets this coming holiday. We would like you to place some extra in your shopping basket and bring them to the church starting November 4. We will have until Sabbath, November 18, when we will assemble those baskets and have you deliver them. We are asking for food items such as: boxes of dressing, turkeys, pumpkin pie filling, canned vegetables, gravy options, cranberry sauce, pasta, sauce, peanut butter, jelly, homemade cookies. If you could buy the items and start filling up our table in the hall outside the sanctuary. We will also need money to buy the fresh food items with which we will top off the baskets..
We need names of people who could use a basket. There are flyers to fill out with your name and the name of the people you know who need them. We would love for you to ask them before hand so that we know if they really do need it. We are looking to help our sister church in Loveland fill some of the needs they have as people come asking for help at their Community Service building on Tuesdays this holiday season also.
Thank you for helping Campion Church help those in our community in a real way. If you have any questions, please call the church office at 970-667-7403.

LaVida Mission Needs
Once a year the Rocky Mountain Conference says to the rest of the conference, "We need your help to support La Vida Mission which provides Christian outreach and education to the Navajo Dineof NW New Mexico. They are a K-12 grade school with boarding and day students, and it's all at no charge to the students. The teachers were asked to make up a wish list of items to help defray the cost of operating the school. This year Campion Church is asking if you would help bring the following items to the church; we will have a table set up in the church lobby. The items needed are paper towels, Kleenex, toilet paper, laundry soap, bath cleaning supplies, trash bags, Clorox wipes, dryer sheets; the complete list is posted on the bulletin board next to Pastor Micheal's office. Feel free to look the list over to see if there is something your family, your Sabbath School class, or school could do to make a difference to the campus of La Vida. The deadline to bring everything is the morning of Monday, November 6, 2017. The items will be picked up that afternoon. Thank you for your support.

Pathfinders' Campout
By Phyllis Zimmerman
Fall campout this year turned into a winter campout as our Pathfinders spent the weekend at Pathfinder Village at beautiful Glacier View Ranch. This campout our Pathfinders met up with the Pike's Peak Pathfinder club for a weekend of worship and honor stations. The clubs combined meals for Sabbath evening and Sabbath lunch as well as share staff responsibilities for the honor stations. Some of the stations that both Pathfinder clubs went through were fire building, furniture making, campfire cooking, and ax and knife safety.
 For our combined Sabbath service, the rain held off as we all circled the campfire to sing and worship together. An exciting and interactive sermon was given by Pastor Alex Rodriguez as he acted out several scenes that revealed this year's Rocky Mountain Conference Pathfinder theme, "I AM". The Pathfinders were actively engaged in listening, searching, and sharing the stories acted out. Although it rained on and off throughout the day and snow showed up on Sunday morning, both camps of
kids and staff had a great time! Lots of fun memories were made around the campfire that kept us warm and moral up! We look forward to camping again in the spring.

Leah and Clinton |
Clinton and Leah Anderson came to our campus together; there have been stories about her coming to HMS, but nothing about Clinton. So I want to introduce him to you.
Although it was not certain what Clinton would do when he arrived, he soon became busy. At Campion Academy he is teaching two sections of sophomore Bible, freshman algebra and pre-algebra, and the bell choir at HMS Richards school for grades 5-8. Besides that, he is Melissa Clouzet's father, so is a busy grandpa as well.
Clinton and Leah taught in Bemidji, Minnesota, for 18 years, he teaching grades 5-8 and sometimes 7-9. From there they moved to Minneapolis/St. Paul where they taught in the Minnetonka Christian School; they were there for seven years, and once again he taught grades 7 and 8 and became endorsed to teach music and history.
The Andersons then moved to Wisconsin Academy where Clinton taught all the music for 11 years. He would like to be involved in the music at Campion Church as time allows.
Clinton really likes gardening and is tilling up a space now ready for next spring. He also likes canoeing and even water skiing and camping. He used to play on a softball team and may try that again if he is needed.

January Evangelistic Meetings
By Edwin Bravatti
I am excited that our church has taken the initiative to move forward in a more forceful manner to reach our community for Christ. I believe that Jesus is coming soon. The closer He gets, the more we are going to see changes in our lives, in our families, in our churches, in our communities, and in the entire world. We are definitely living in a prophetic era where what was said by the prophets is being fulfilled.
I would like to let you know that I will be launching an evangelistic series starting in January. This will take place once a week in my home. Anyone in our church is welcome to join; but, there is a but: if you plan to come, you have to bring a non-Seventh-day Adventist member as a guest. The point I am trying to make is that God has given us this beautiful community and we are responsible to let them know about our Lord Jesus. Please pray for this event and all the events and projects that are in place right now.
May the Lord bless us abundantly as we move in His direction.

HMS Outdoor School 2017
During the annual Outdoor School, 5th - 8th grade students from HMS Richards Elementary, Springs Adventist Academy, and Cañon City Four Mile Adventist School reflected on the theme, "Be Still and Know that I am God." The three-day event at Glacier View Ranch was planned by Paul Bragaw, 5th-6th grade teacher at HMS Richards Elementary.
"Outdoor school is a time for students to get away from life's distractions, disconnect from technology, and reconnect with God in nature," said Bragaw. "We use activities to teach team-building and outdoor skills. It helps students be safe and confident in the outdoors. And of course, we have fun!"
In one activity this year, students spent six to eight hours walking over ten miles in search of 26 tennis balls hidden in various locations around GVR. At each location teams prayed for someone or something specific and then had 30 seconds of silence in prayer.
Even after this event, the students still had energy. Carli Olsen, 8th grader, said, "Playing capture the flag that night after dark was my favorite part!"
Students learned to deepen their walk with God through each activity and challenge. "When we had worship, we sat outside and took some time to just think and be quiet as we talked to God. That was really powerful for me," said Christine Eagan-Foster, 8th grade student.
We are thankful for the continued efforts of Paul Bragaw, teachers, and parents at HMS Richards to include the outdoors as part of a complete Christian education.
