SUPPORT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY BY HELPING WITH THE UPCOMING BUILD

Habitat’s Mission: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

WPUMC is a member of a coalition of churches that builds a Habitat for Humanity home each year. We also raise approx. $60,000 each year to partially fund the cost of building a Habitat house.

This year’s build site is located at 2813 W 53rd Ave, Denver, CO 80221 (Parking: 2791 W 52nd Ave, Denver, CO 80212)

Our Loaves and Fishes coalition PROVIDES THE VOLUNTEERS to join with experts to build the house. Volunteers age 16 and above are welcome!

UPCOMING build date: Sat., Aug. 20 from 7:45 AM – 3:30 PM

Noland Orchard Palisade Peaches: Pick Up this Saturday and Sunday

If you ordered a box of peaches you can pick them up on Saturday August 20th from 12-1pm or Sunday between 10am-12pm. Please contact Katie in the Church Office if you're able to help unload the Peach Truck on Saturday morning, specific time TBD: office@washparkumc.org

MISSIONS at WPUMC

We need some painters! On Tuesday, August 30th at 9am we will be getting our paintbrushes out and working on some projects around the building. We could use your help! Please email office@washparkumc.org to let us know you'll be joining.

There are lots of ways that you can offer your gifts in service to our congregation – looking for a way to be more involved at WPUMC? Here are a few opportunities:

*Ushering – online or in-person! We schedule individuals for a specific Sunday a month for their ushering “shift”. Online ushering doesn’t require you to be in the building, but to engage with online worship participants. In-person ushering requires your presence, and includes greeting people and helping with offering and communion. Email Rev. Sandi at pastor@washparkumc.org.

*Making Meals! Do you love to cook or offer people food? We coordinate meals for families with new babies, people who have health concerns, and other times when a meal seems to offer a tangible sign of love to our church family. To help out, email Rev. Sandi at pastor@washparkumc.org.

*Sunday Morning Liturgist! If you’d like to help offer a greeting to our worship participants, lead the call to worship and read the scripture, email Rev. Sandi at pastor@washparkumc.org.

If there is something specific you’d like to share, or if you are interested in a certain area of leadership, please contact Rev. Sandi at pastor@washparkumc.org.
