Love Has No Borders | Valentines for those held in detention | Due Feb 8

For over a decade Colorado has crafted Valentines for people held in the for-profit immigrant detention center, GEO.  This year, with your help, we will once again gather handmade valentines and deliver them to people who could use extra love right now. 
We think of card making as a meditation and a tangible expression of our values. Make something beautiful for someone separated from loved ones, separated by borders and distance or by walls and bars.  We assert that our Love knows No borders, No walls. This year there are about 1,500 people held at GEO so we are called to take the time to put care into each and every Valentine.

Possible messages: You are not forgotten| No estas olvidado, We are thinking of you |Siempre pensamos en ti, Love know no borders | El amor no reconoce fronteras,  Love knows no walls |El amor no reconoce muros,We are praying for you | Oramos por ti, Happy Valentine’s Day | Feliz Día de San Valentín, Remember that you are loved |Recuerda que eres amado.   There are flyers in the back of church with more information.

Valentines can be dropped off in the back of church by Sunday, Feb 8.

Unbound : Seeking the Freedom of God’s Love | Parish Lent Program

If you’re feeling worn out by the world—

Lent 2026 offers a place to pause.

To take off your mask.

To rest in God’s love.

To remember you are not alone.

Join us for a six-week series rooted in honesty, healing, and hope.

This Lenten season, join together in following Jesus through the wilderness and into the heart of the Empire. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with what it means to be truly free: to remove our masks, reject false power, center the excluded, accept God’s love, and choose life even in the shadow of darkness and despair. We’ll meet characters like Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman at the well, the man born blind, and Lazarus, and explore how Jesus invites each of them – and us – to step into the light to claim life abundant.

Our 6 week program will start the week of Feb. 23. There will be three different options: Monday evening ZOOM 7:00-8:30, Tuesday in person 10:30-12:00 or Wednesday in person 10:30-12:00. All in person sessions will be held in the office classroom and there will be a limited number of spaces available. All sessions will cover the same content.
