Our Outreach Committee is again fielding a team, the “St. Luke’s Stompers,” for NAMI’s (National Alliance on Mental Illness) 1.5-mile fundraising walk to benefit NAMI Colorado. The walk is at 9am, Saturday, May 13, at Centennial Center Park, 13050 E. Peakview in Centennial.

The goal of NAMIWalks is to promote public awareness of mental health and reduce its stigma; to raise funds for NAMI’s free, evidence-based mental health programs; and to build community to communicate we’re all in this together.

Join the St. Luke’s Stompers to help us raise funds and bring your family to the walk, or consider donating to our parish team. The walk’s course is accessible for both wheelchairs and strollers., and Centennial Center Park has a great playground and dogs are welcome. If you want to join us but have a conflict that day, you can also register as a Virtual Participant.

Contact the St. Luke’s team to join us (registration is free) or to make a donation. For more information about NAMI’s free programs of support, education, and advocacy for people experiencing mental health issues and their families and caregivers, visit NAMI Colorado. If you have any walk-related questions or need directions to the park, contact Anna Bennett at anna@namicolorado.org or 720-529-5733.

In March 2023, an energetic group of pilgrims from Arizona and Colorado ventured to the Holy Land, Israel and Jordan, for a 12-day adventure (March 8-20) visiting places that many of us had only read about in the Bible. The weather was generally good (some rain in Jerusalem), our guides were excellent, we walked a lot, and we ate well! It was the experience of a lifetime.

We would like to share with all a richly illustrated presentation that describes the places we visited in Israel and Jordan and the experiences of our pilgrims. The presentation will be given on May 7 and May 28, from 9-10 a.m. in the Parish Hall at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 1270 Poplar St., Denver, CO 80220. Please join us for a retrospective on our journey through the Holy Land. All are welcome.
