Recent months have seen an uptick in anxiety and activity related to the safety and dignity of immigrants in Denver. DCC and Project Renew want to be a healing presence in this space and not forget to show hospitality to the stranger (Hebrews 13).

Begins March 16th | Sunday Nights

Over 7 weeks we will consider how to more fully engage as everyday peacemakers. Participants will explore how the work of making peace in both our inner and outer worlds are inextricably linked. Along the way, in both larger group discussions and small group contexts, we will participate in spiritual formation practices, begin to dig into identity and calling, consider practically how we might advocate for the marginalized, and pursue justice in our world.

Saturday, March 22nd from 10 to 12

DCC is serving as the host site for a firearm surrender event with our friends from Guns to Gardens. Whether you are a gun owner, a survivor of gun violence, or just have a desire to learn more about being a peacemaker in this space, volunteering at this event and the learning opportunities that come with it are a chance to explore, practice, and learn together. 

Team meetings start June 8th; Immersion trip runs August 7th-10th

Through this experience, we’ll explore the relational and systemic implications of borders in our lives by learning, serving, and working alongside partners in Denver, San Diego and Tijuana. Three months of collaborative learning will culminate with an August trip to the US/Mexico border. 

COST: $450-$550 (based on number of participants). Participants will be responsible for their own airfare.

Did you know that you can now apply for a Good Neighbor Grant on behalf of someone in your life who is in need?  These grants are small (max $750) but powerful ways to give a boost or bridge a gap.  We prefer that these funds will match or accelerate the generosity that you are already involved in.  Perhaps your neighbor is in need of a critical home repair, or a family at your kids school needs assistance with some fees. We can be creative about how we care for our neighbors.

Volunteer to help move new Shared Power homeowners into their home. Contact Mercy Tucker to be added to the volunteer list and you will be updated as each woman gets a closing date and the moving day is set.

Volunteer on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday evening shifts. 

They are  looking for Monday & Wednesday shift leaders which provides a monthly $400 stipend. 

Contact Ian Stitt for more information.
