St. Paul Denver

"All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Human did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves" - Chief Seattle

"The Sacred is what is essential, it is like food, it is basic. The Sacred points us back to the Divine Consciousness within and without and brings us into authentic life, life that is attuned to the Eternal Presence, life that is offered as a pure gift, an act of prayer, an eternal act of love." - Andrew Harvey - speaking at St. Paul

Upcoming Events

Wednesday Nights at 6:30pm: Feeding the Homeless

6:30pm: we will make sandwiches and assemble lunches at 6:30pm. It takes about 20 minutes and the lunches will be handed out the next day in Civic Center Park. It is too easy of a statement to say we are feeding the homeless. We are serving lunch to 50 people who are all someone’s brother, someone’s mother, someone’s daughter. We are showing love to someone who does not experience much love.

Wednesday Nights at 7:00pm: Choir practice

Choir practice. Come Sing!

STAINED GLASS RESTORATION
Please click here to view the flyer or pick a flyer up at the church – about our beautiful stained glass at St. Paul and our efforts to make the needed restorations. Everyone’s support is needed for this important effort to honor the sacred spouse that houses the spiritual services and outreach to the community at St. Paul. So please donate to the restoration project. And don’t forget to donate to the BCIC at St. Paul. Thanks!

Update: The Colorado State Historical Fund has approved our grant for renovation of the stained glass windows! Donations would still help for matching funds.

THE SUNDAY MEAL PROGRAM
The Sunday Meal Program at St. Paul Church is now in its 23rd year of providing a free, hot meal every Sunday morning to the homeless and others who are hungry! In the last two years, we have seen a steady increase of meal guests. In 2009, we served over 8,000 meals. But financial support is decreasing even as demand is increasing. Your support is needed to continue the program. Please contribute to the Sunday Meal Program. You can place your donation in an offering plate or mail it to St. Paul Church, 1615 Ogden, Denver, CO 80218 (mark in the memo: SMP). We can do this together! Thank-You!
