SERVE LOCALLY

The Comfort Quilters share God’s love through compassion, prayer, and hands-on service. Together, they create quilts stitched with care and infused with comforting Scripture for those facing hardship or grieving a loss. 

You don’t need sewing experience to be part of this ministry. Whether you can cut fabric, tie a knot, pin pieces together—or simply want to lend a helping hand—you are welcome. The Comfort Quilters gather on the second and fourth Mondays of each month from 10 a.m. to noon. 

The group also welcomes donations of child-themed fabric (¾-yard or one-yard pieces), which are used to make pillowcases for Royal Family Kids, Children’s Hospital, and other organizations serving children in need. Contact: Martha Trapp, 720-394-4194.

Churches working together to transform lives and communities.

Love INC is a network of local churches and other organizations that supports those struggling in our community. Sometimes that can look like providing personal needs items, furniture, or transportation. Other times, it looks like offering educational classes, providing mentoring support, or walking alongside someone who’s grieving. But it’s always about leaning into our strengths and working together with others — because we are better together.
