Join the Episcopal Public Policy Network
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. – Acts 5:31
Like the disciples who went out and spread the good news after the Holy Spirit’s anointing, we celebrate our renewal of purpose, mission, and calling as God’s people during this season after Pentecost.

The Episcopal Public Policy Network (EPPN) is a nationwide grassroots network of Episcopalians who call and write their members of Congress and the Administration to advocate positions of the Church. Members of the EPPN receive policy alerts updating them on what is happening in Washington, the Church’s position on public policies, and techniques and information on contacting their government leaders. EPPN members also receive a congressional directory and action guide, legislative updates and newsletters, training in advocacy methods, online resources and sample letters.

We need more Spirit-filled voices to speak the Church’s mission boldly and to act on the global climate crisis, fight deadly poverty and HIV/AIDS, cancel debt for poor countries, promote the Millennium Development Goals, and support the critical justice work carried out by the EPPN.

Outreach Collecting Used Cell Phones and Eyeglasses
There are be collection bins in the undercroft for used cell phones and eyeglasses. The Outreach ministry is facilitating these collections for the following organizations:

Donated used cell phones will benefit SafeHouse Denver, serving victims of domestic violence and their children through both an emergency shelter and a non-residential Counseling and Advocacy Center.

And your donated used eyeglasses will be passed on to any of three organizations, the Saint Francis Center, the Episcopal Church of St. Peter & St. Mary, and Unite for Sight. All three organizations recycle the eyeglasses so that others in need – here in Denver, and also in Sierra Leone, West Africa – can use them.
