Outreach

The Outreach Ministry (Eric Frame, chair) has an intentional focus on actionJean Charlote(1898-1979) - Tile mural at St. Francis Hospital, Honolulu, HI coupled with prayer. Our goals are engaging the congregation in addressing the needs of the marginalized through hands-on activities, ongoing and current outreach opportunities, and information; informing the congregation about issues of justice, peace and economic conditions; and supporting and raising the congregation’s awareness of local and international needs and the ministries serving them.

We think this reflection, provided by the Sisters of St. Francis and used by permission, eloquently summarizes our mission as outreach workers and as Christians:

Past the person in the pew came the cripple and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, the praying one went down, down into deep prayer and cried: Great God! How is it that a loving Creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them? And out of a long, long silence, God said, I did something about them. I made you.

Project Education Sudan’s Journey of Hope Trip to Southern Sudan

Project Education Sudan (PES) was started over five years ago in Denver with the objective of building schools in the war torn region of Southern Sudan.  It is the aspiration of PES that these schools will offer equal opportunity to girls and boys of all tribes and backgrounds.

This spring, Project Education Sudan’s Executive Director Carol Francis-Rinehart and a group of PES volunteers, including four Sudanese Lost Boys from the Denver area, travelled to several villages in Southern Sudan.  While there they conducted teacher strategy training for 50 teachers and women’s income literacy workshops for over 120 women.  They also reunited three Lost Boys with their newly-found parents, drilled a water well; and delivered school supplies and three grinding mills, the use of which frees the women and girls so that they can attend school.
 
Please join Carol and some of her fellow travelers for a discussion of the trip, illustrated with a multitude of photographs.  Don’t miss this first-hand account of hope and a new start in Southern Sudan.
 
Wednesday, July 23, 6 pm, at The Episcopal Church of the Holy Redeemer, 2552 Williams St., Denver.
