We are officially in the month of MAY-hem! May always seems to sneak up on me, and I'm consistently surprised by all of the activities that can be packed into one month. From high school graduations and celebrations, Mother's Day, end-of-school preschool activities, all the wrapping up before summer . . It can seem like an endless parade of busy-ness.

Even when it's all good things - celebrations and recognitions-- it can also be exhausting. I don't know about you, but it seems like Easter jump-started a season of parties, evenings full of commitments, and weekends jammed with places to be and things to do.

Our current sermon series is on scripture passages from Revelation. It's one of the more befuddling books of the Bible and can carry various interpretations, but at the heart of the book is the idea that through the power of Christ, a new creation is possible. Hints of such a beautiful reality are all around us: in the budding of the trees and the greening of the grass, in the sprouting of new plants and the birthing of new life. The signs are subtle, but they're all around us, if only we pause to notice.

I pray that as we tumble pell-mell into the summer that you can find a moment or two of "noticing" - of opening your eyes to the wonder all around us that whispers of the new creation that Christ inspires. A new creation full of beauty and wonder and grace and love. 

"May" it be so!

Thanks for Supporting the Habitat Fundraiser!

In October, we concluded our “Big Top, Big Hearts: Building Dreams Together” Habitat for Humanity fundraiser. After totaling the cash, liquidated stock, and some matching funds from a local business, we raised $7,370.00!! 

In 2024, we continued to build homes and support families moving into Habitat’s Mountain View community, which is a neighborhood just off South Havana Street and near Havana Heights Park. This development is in the Cherry Creek School District and close to green spaces, public transit, and local businesses. Here’s a recent picture of one of the duplexes in that community. YOU made a difference to a family and to a community.

 WPUMC, THANK YOU!! 

This time-honored event serves as an important fundraiser for Steele Elementary, a Denver Public School. The Home Tour will feature six stunning homes—each with unique architectural and design styles—located along the 300–800 blocks of South Gilpin Street.
