The congregation prides itself on being open and welcoming, and has an impressive history of active outreach and ministry in Denver. The church founded Sewall House in 1944 to serve those afflicted with polio, cerebral palsy, and other disabilities; was an original kitchen for Project Angel Heart which delivers home-cooked meals to people living with life-changing illness; supported St. George’s Clinic in Baghdad; serves as a shelter for the Women’s Homelessness Initiative, and continues as a site for The Sharing Table, an organization dedicated to alleviating hunger, supporting the growth and development of children, and advocating for homeless families in the area. With this grant from SHF, the Parish will rehabilitate the original steel casement windows of their historic Marshall House. They will also replace the hardware for operating and locking the windows and install new interior storm windows, which will increase energy efficiency and the comfort of the Parish’s guests—including those they serve—while preserving the historical appearance and character of the building.
