Jose Briones – Denver, Colorado … The essence of community and the spirit of unity were evident at LifeSource Adventist Fellowship’s (LAF) Community Fair, October 8. The fair was a testimony to LAF’s outreach initiatives. With an atmosphere of joy and inclusivity, the event exemplified LifeSource’s cherished motto: “Step Into Family.”

The fair stood as a testament to the vitality of our community efforts, gathering an impressive crowd of around 250 attendees. “What’s even more heartening is the participation of around 70 community members who stepped into our space to revel in a day of fun, bonding, and mutual respect,” remarked Jose Briones, LAF associate pastor.

Diverse participation enriched the event. The attending external vendors lent their expertise, and AdventHealth University highlighted the essential connection between health and community well-being. Gourmet enthusiasts were treated to an assortment of culinary delights from various food trucks, ensuring there was something for everyone’s palate.

In alignment with the mission of LAF and the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC), the presence of the food bank and clothing store highlighted the commitment to holistic care, both spiritual and physical. It was a powerful reminder of our mission to serve, support, and uplift.

This fair is representative of LifeSource’s innovative approach to fostering deeper connections within the community. Beyond events, their mission is about generating tangible change in the region, ensuring every individual experiences the warmth of family and the strength of spiritual guidance.

In a world where community often feels fragmented, the fair was a vibrant reminder of the power of unity and collaboration. It reaffirms LifeSource’s commitment to be luminaries of love, hope, and positive transformation.

Pastor Briones went on to say, “To every participant, volunteer, and supporter who contributed to the success of this fair, your efforts are deeply appreciated. As we move forward, such endeavors bond our dedication to community enrichment and spiritual growth within the RMC.”
