Stewardship

The stewardship campaign has begun. We are looking for 100% participation as we all have a hand in the success of our church. The Stewardship Committee put together a wonderful brochure which outlines how and why you should pledge. Click the button below to see the brochure and pledge forms.

Planned Giving

This year St. Thomas was blessed with a number of legacy gifts from members who have passed away. These contributions were so significant that we are able to pay our share of the HVAC project. If you would like to remember the church in your legacy plan, the Episcopal Foundation is holding a workshop on planned giving.

Practical Planned Giving

Tuesday, May 12, 6:30–8:00 pm Online via Zoom.

Join the Colorado Episcopal Foundation for a practical workshop exploring the many ways planned gifts can strengthen your congregation’s long-term mission and ministry. We’ll walk through common types of legacy gifts, share tools to build awareness around planned giving, and discuss how COEF can partner with your church to cultivate and sustain a culture of generosity for generations to come. Whether you’re just beginning the conversation or looking to deepen an existing legacy program, this session will offer helpful guidance and real-world insights.

Join us for this year’s Evening for Haiti, our annual gathering celebrating progress and advancing locally led development in Petit Trou de Nippes, our partner community of over 37 years. Enjoy a Caribbean-inspired dinner, silent and live auctions, and updates on the latest from our leaders in Haiti. We’ll also present this year’s Ted Lewis Award to Anne Skamarock — a pillar of our community who embodies Dr. Ted’s devotion to service. Come celebrate how far we’ve come — and help our local leaders continue moving forward.

Feed My People

Last Sunday during coffee hour St. Thomas packed lunches for distribution at Denver Public Library (through Capitol United Ministries, CHUM). Our many volunteers (of all ages) set a speed record for making sandwiches and assembling 50 sack lunches, including decorating the bags! 

Thank you to everyone who donated money so that we could provide these lunches! Special shout-outs to Emma Jurado Hillenburg for ordering all the food, and to Russ Guilbeau and Bob Yandrofski for receiving the food delivery and setting everything up for us!
