Prayer in the 21st Century

"Your relationship with your heavenly Father is dysfunctional. You talk as if you have an intimate relationship, but you don't. Theoretically, it is close. Practically, it is distant. You need help." A Praying Life, Paul E. Miller

Your prayer life will stink if you only know about your Father instead of actually knowing your Father.

The New City Story-Part 1

The story of New City actually started in a church office cubicle in 2000. I was a lowly intern at a church in suburban Denver and found myself paging through a book on church planting one afternoon. Church planting was a concept I had never heard of before even though I had spent my life in church circles. But this book opened my heart and mind to what God was doing across the world through church planting efforts in many denominations and church planting organizations. Not only was I intrigued but I was hooked and knew then what God wanted me to do for the rest of my life. I saw with clarity that God wanted to use church planting efforts to fulfill His Great Commission worldwide.

Prayer for the 21st Century

"American culture is probably the hardest place in the world to learn to pray. We are so busy that when we slow down to pray, we find it uncomfortable. We prize accomplishments, production. But prayer is nothing but talking to God. It feels useless, as if we are wasting time. Every bone in our bodies screams, 'Get to work.'" A Praying Life, Paul E. Miller

Moving to Swallow Hill for Worship Gatherings

After 2 great years meeting in the movie theatre for our worship gathering, we are moving to Swallow Hill Music Association's building (a cool renovated older church) on October 10th. We know church is not where you meet but it is who we are becoming in Jesus and what we are doing in the city for His name. This location is a first class music venue in the city of Denver and we are excited for what God has in store in this next chapter of New City's mission. Much to be done and we could use your help! Email us at info@newcitydenver.org.

If you want to check out Swallow Hill you can visit their website at www.swallowhill.com. You can find out about the World's Largest Yukelele lesson in Ruby Park! Cool group of people and we can't wait to start meeting there on Sundays at 10 AM.
