We celebrate certain days every year that you won't find at other churches. These days are considered our Holy Days. They are Heavenly Parents' Day, True Parents' Day, True Children's Day, and True Day of All Things. Each of these days holds special meaning and significance for Unificationists, and they represent the days that would have been most important to God at the beginning of humanity if we had never fallen away from Him. 

In the summer of 2021, we decided that we wanted to host a pastoral internship for those currently in a pastoral position or that are considering it as a future path in life. Looking at the greater Unificationist Movement, we felt there was room for additional opportunities for pastoral education and training. Although we feel unqualified in many ways, we wanted to provide an opportunity to share our eight years of experience and how we’ve managed to make pastoring into a part of a harmonious family lifestyle.

In 2021, a group of elder members of the Colorado Family Church began weekly zoom meetings to discuss ways in which we could support our young pastors, Michael and Adonia Hentrich. We explored our options and interviewed the pastors and others about what was needed. We invited Andrew Love to one of our meetings and he helped us understand one of the big obstacles to family well-being: parents weren’t getting out enough without the kids to bond and get refreshed and revived as couples. The solution was simple and obvious: they needed babysitting, especially those who don’t have local grandparents. So we went to work organizing a Group Date and Babysitting plan for those parents. Andrew chose a fun place for couples to have a meal and play some games. We elders organized four hours of babysitting on a Saturday night for their kids of all ages.

The Denver community was swept off its feet this past weekend with a public showing of a series of paintings by Catherine Ichinohe, a highly talented painter in the community. Her series, entitled “Paintings of the Word” is an inspiration she received several years ago and which she began to bring into substantial reality about three years ago. Her initial vision was for 40 panels depicting key elements of the Divine Principle. The panels were conceived as an educational tool which could hopefully be used by exhibitions and churches of various faiths, not only of our own Church.
