It's official: after year's of crying "Wash Park!" our readers have shifted their love to this huge 'hood anchored by the up-and-coming 32nd & Zuni district, along with the established and hopping Highlands Square. The Highland area lays claim to some of the hottest new restaurants and boutiques in the city, and boasts great front-stoop culture, an engaged community, plenty of parks, and easy access to downtown and the foothills--not to mention a decent real estate scene in an otherwise shaky market.Now, I'm not sure how they failed to notice our big, beautiful, growing church, but maybe we'll get that rectified by next year! :)

Summer's Comin'!
... and we have lots in store for you!
This Saturday, June 7, the Youth Group will host the final fund-raiser for their mission trip to Baldwin, Louisiana later this month. There they will work at the warehouse and distribution center for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), the global relief and development agency of the UMC. They have raised nearly enough to cover their trip, and are hoping you will come and enjoy a delicious Spaghetti Dinner this Saturday, for either a 5:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. seating. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and children under 11 by donation. Please come out and show your support for the youth by eating spaghetti!
Saturday, June 14 is the Highlands Street Fair. Our church building will be open for our usual ministry of hospitality through the Baby Feeding and Changing Station, as well as hosting a youth art show put on by the students of Arts Street. We still need 2 more volunteers to be present and welcome people in the early afternoon; please contact the church office if you are available!
Rocky Mountain Annual Conference takes place June 18-21 at the Marriott Denver Tech Center. Please keep the clergy and lay delegates in your prayers as they pray, worship, discuss, and vote on matters of church life and leadership.
And stay tuned for our 2008 Vacation Bible School: Beach Party - Surfin' through the Scriptures! Kids from preschool to 5th grade will learn the basics of surfing, ride the wave of God’s love, and go home with a new “Beach Be-Attitude”: be obedient, be kind, be forgiving, be bold, and believe. VBS will take place Thursday, July 10 and Friday, July 11 from 6:00* p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, July 12 from 9:00 am to 12:00 p.m. More information about registration coming soon. If you're interested in helping out, please contact us!
As always, summer means lots of our regular folks are traveling, even as newcomers visit for the first time. We pray for safe travels, enjoyment of family, friends, and new neighbors, and an openness to experiencing God wherever you are! Worship continues at our regular time, 10am each Sunday. All are welcome!
* Please note that the VBS times were previously listed incorrectly. 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Thursday and Friday is correct.
