Pastor Ted Haggard to Lead Worship Service Again
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ted Haggard, who was dismissed from the megachurch he founded after a man alleged a cash-for-sex relationship with him, plans to lead people in worship again.
The pastor told The Gazette he is holding a "prayer meeting" Nov. 12 in his living room in Colorado Springs but said it would also be correct to call it a church.
Haggard says he has no goals of building something like New Life Church, which began with about 25 people in his basement in 1985 and grew to thousands of members.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Haggard resigned from the church in 2006 after a Denver man said Haggard paid him for sex.
The gathering Nov. 12 will include music, an offering to New Life Church and a talk from Haggard about the power of prayer.
