The Denver United Chronicles

Go Day June 2011: Restoration Outreach

On June 25th, Denver United partnered with Restoration Outreach Programs (ROP) to throw a block party for residents along the East Colfax corridor. More than 100 volunteers participated in this Go Day, the largest turn out for an outreach event thus far in our church's history.  Together we were able to provide free food and entertainment to hundreds of adults and children from the local neighborhood. The Denver United worship team was on hand to provide music, and United Kids provided a special children's program.  The Gospel was clearly presented, and many came forward to receive Christ or ask for prayer. In the end, it was a practical opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in serving some of the most marginalized and underserved members of our community.  Take a look at some of the photos from that day.

Our next Go Day is slated for August 13th when we will be serving Teen Challenge. Keep an eye on DenverUnited.com in the weeks ahead for more information.

Denver United's First 50+ Picnic

On June 5th, Denver United held it's first 50+ Picnic, which was attended by nearly 40 people spanning a range of different ages. Gathering together at McWilliams Park, the event offered conversation, laughter, lawn sports, delicious food and more. It was a great opportunity for folks to get to know one another and enjoy a sunny Sunday afternoon together.  Hosted by Pastor Robert Robb, it was the first among many events being planned especially for people in this life stage.  Click here to take a look at some of the photos from that day.

If you're looking to get plugged in at Denver United, consider checking out the "Letters from a Prisoner" small group.  Hosted by Pastor Robert and Sue Robb, this is a Tuesday night gathering that studies the letters of Paul and discusses how to apply his teachings to our modern-day lives.  For more information, check out their group page on the United Groups website.

UnitedWomen: A Night of Pasta and Fellowship

On the evening of Wednesday, May 25th, UnitedWomen hosted its very first Dinner Party.  Nearly forty women gathered at the Spaghetti Factory in downtown Denver for an evening filled with laughter, conversation and delicious pasta. Setting aside the demands of family, work and home for a few hours, the women were able to enjoy the company of each other in a relaxed atmosphere. It was an excellent opportunity to cultivate current relationships and get to know some new friends as well.  A fun time was had by all.

Plans for the next dinner party is already in the works.  Keep an eye on DenverUnited.com for more details in the days to come.  In the meantime, "save the date" by marking your calendars for 7 PM on the second Thursday of each month.

If you're a woman looking to get connected at Denver United, you're also invited to check out the Aspire Bible Study.  Led by Connections Pastor Lori Sill, this group meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month to study the women of the Bible and build strong friendships.
