MOTORIZED MINISTRY

Can you help folks get to and from church on Sunday? Share a ride, and make a profound difference for your StPLC family. We are in need of drivers during August! If you’d like to hear more about this motorized ministry, please reach out to Ms. Mary (mpratt@stplc.org or 303 770-9300).

BLESSING BAGS

Take church with you this summer! Distribute Blessing Bags full of essentials to our friends living on the streets. There is a bin to drop off donated items in the narthex next to the blessing bag station. New socks mean dry feet for someone suffering in the damp, and a bottle of clean water can save a life. Compassion, welcome, and connection: amazing things can happen when we are open to meeting the face of Christ in others. Have you had a Christ encounter with someone who is experiencing homelessness? Share your story with Ms. Mary (mpratt@stplc.org).
