Community Spotlight: Opportunities to serve during these interesting times
The Pandemic hits all of us, but it hits the homeless shelters more. There have been sidewalk events held for the past 2 years that would accept donations, but because of the Pandemic, those donations and events have ceased. Please help fellow congregant and council member Dean Zessin raise $1,000 to buy 1000 pairs of socks to distribute to shelters. The goal is to have them distributed by mid-September. Please send what you can or ship pairs of socks to Dean Zessin, 550 E 12th Ave #1103, Denver 80203.
Another opportunity:
We have partnered with International Rescue Committee (IRC) to help refugees moving to Denver. Currently there are 5 families moving to the Denver Metro area starting August 20th to September 16th. IRC is in need of furniture and supplies for these new refugees and others to come. Please select the link below to see what items and furniture pieces they need. If you can donate, please email Judy Denison and she will pick up the items and abide by the social distancing measures in place.
God is the Life Force within all things. Therefore every visible and invisible creature can be called a theophany. All life manifests something of the One who is the essence of life. The two primary mods of God’s self revelation are the Bible and creation. Through these the eternal Light is revealed. Creation is the dwelling place of God. John Scotus Eriugena, Irish Theologian, from the Division of Nature , written 850CE.
Action: Watch The Canticle of Creation by Francis of Assisi, 1230CE. Francis’ reason for climate action

It’s our turn now, long overdue. Let us hold a giveaway for Mother Earth, spread our blankets out for her and pile them high with gifts of our own making. Gifts of mind, hands, heart, voice, and vision all offered up on behalf of the earth. Whatever our gift, we are called to give it and to dance for the renewal of the world. In return for the privilege of breath. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Action: Nadeen Ibrahim has requested this be shared with you because the Census is so important. Colorado is 21st in the nation in completing the census, at 67.5% completion. End date is Sept 30 which is a month earlier than originally announced.
If you have a public event, or hear of one in your area, please reach out to Nadeen so they can get someone there to help ensure stronger completion numbers for Colorado: nadeen.m.ibrahim@2020census.gov
