Greetings Order colleagues:
I have something quite awesome to share with you all. In the context of
"the seeds we scattered in springtime with weeping and watered with dew and
with tears from on high...."
I have been working in an innercity church whose outreach is the poor and
the homeless. I have been referring people to the various resources that
are available to them, supported by various churches and agencies.
Those of you who where in Denver in the early '70s, who did the local church
experiment with Warren Methodist Church, Montiview Epicsopal and Montview
Methodist Church should know that the Warren Village living facilities (for
women with children) is going strong - in fact, Mark Welch's company that
works with housing for the poor is involved in the renovation of all the
buildings (after their 40 years of care).
The man who was director of Warren Village eventually left and started the
Denver United Ministries - which provides a resource for the poor called
DENUM. They offer food, bus tokens, GED training, clothes and many other
resources.
Ken Whitney is helping to renovate the bottom story of Warren Methodist (as
his church, Asbury Methodist has sort of adopted that congregation.
As a senior with limited income, I have applied for an apt. in the highrise
that the Episcopal church decided to build as a result of their work with
the local church galaxy.
...another may reap... Words cannot express the thanks and the joy I am
experiencing as I have the privilege to interact with these trees - planted
with hope and with care by many of you.
