Pastor's Message

Holy Week is upon on, the last week of the life of Jesus. In this week, we find some of Jesus’ most influential teachings on God’s love and some of Jesus’ most important social justice actions. There is so much for us to learn and discern in this week. To honor this, I will be sending daily meditations throughout Holy Week. To be included, please send an email to stpauldenver@yahoo.com that you would like to be included.

Buddhist Christian Interspiritual: "Cultivating Your Relationship with the Divine"

Christine Tulis

Speaker: Christine Tulis

What are some perspectives and practices that support us in enjoying a vibrant spiritual life? How can we open to an ever deeper experience of how God's love is revealing itself to us? Sacred musician and healing artist Christine Tulis will be offering a short talk transitioning to live, sacred music on harp and voice to allow us to travel into the interior world of the heart where we can feel the Divine Presence. She will be joined by Kem Stralka on keyboard and percussion.

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
stained glassPlease 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!
