Our neighbors face food insecurity as well as homelessness. An astonishing 99.17% of the individuals who receive services from Community Table, live at less than 100% of the poverty level. Hunger remains a serious problem in Jefferson County, where 1 in 10 children live in a family that struggles with hunger. Hunger affects the way children learn and develop.</image:caption>

Effective suicide prevention programs, like Second Wind Fund, bring hope and support to youth struggling with thoughts of suicide. Second Wind Fund exists to help youth at risk for suicide access professional counseling services by removing financial and social barriers.

      <image:caption>The community based non-profit Restoring Connections, formerly known as The Center for Spirituality at Work, seeks to change lives through spiritual transformation and social justice. Its Re-entry and Soul Care programs connect incarcerated and recently released women from the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility with Soul Care providers. These trained volunteers offer women the support they need and allow them to take charge of their future. The volunteers are a source of emotional and spiritual support, which in turn, reduces recidivism and enables spiritual growth for all involved.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Youth - Confirmation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Confirmation is a learning opportunity and an important step in a student’s faith journey. Students are taught the key elements of the Christian Faith, the history of the church and our local church, the life and work of Jesus, and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We invite our students to experience Confirmation as way to begin their spiritual journey of discovering God’s love and grace in their lives. For information on Confirmation, contact Abby by email.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Missions master - Wycliffe Bible Translators</image:title>
      <image:caption>Brad and Toni Guderian have served in Papua New Guinea (PNG) since 1992 working with Koluwawa co-translators to translate and publish the New Testament and portions of the Old Testament into the language of the Koluwawa people. In January 2020 they came to the U.S. for a 6-month furlough but then the Covid lockdown occurred and then Toni was diagnosed with cancer. Toni is doing well with her cancer treatment but she is unable to return to PNG. Therefore, they have transitioned to remote staff on the PNG. Brad continues to work by preparing first draft translation for revision, and by maintaining contact with their Koluwawa coworkers via messages through the regional center. He is planning to make short trips back once PNG’s COVID restrictions and Toni’s health allow for that.</image:caption>
