• We are supporting A Precious Child (APC) and Lutheran Family Services Refugee Program (LFS-RP) again this year by providing Christmas gifts to those in need over the holidays. As of Nov 11, you can join us with this by doing any of the following. Note that all purchased gifts must be unwrapped and dropped off at CTS between 10:30 am and 12 pm on December 6th during our St. Nick’s Open House, or by Dec. 6th at your neighborhood group’s drop off location. If you have any questions or need help with getting your gift dropped off, please email us.
  • Ways to Participate
    • Donate money by midnight December 6 online through Simply Giving money will be used to shop for additional gifts for either APC or LFS-RP, depending upon the designation you make.
    • Shop for a gift for LFS-RP here.
    • Shop for a $50 gift for a specific child through APC. Please view the spreadsheet and select the child you plan to shop for by adding your name/email.
    • Purchase & donate any new toy (for any amount) to be given to a child through APC Toy Drive (see APC gift ideas). Gifts can also be purchased from APC Amazon Wish List or APC Amazon Gift Card Wish List (great for teens!) and sent directly to APC.
    • Purchase & donate new wrapping paper, dropping it off along with your donated gift.

High School Summer Trip

This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our church team and Other+Wise found creative ways to connect and learn from the wisdom of some of our local leaders in Denver and Aurora. The trip participants gathered outside at CTS to watch a specially-prepared panel discussion around the ways that the COVID -19 Pandemic have impacted diverse local communities, and the urgency of everyone's involvement in ending systemic racism. This meaningful panel led to important conversations among our youth, and illuminated the realities of segregation and immense gaps in access to resources that dramatically impact communities differently. 

Special thanks to Vance Blackfox and Kinna Kemp for organizing through Other+Wise, and to our panelists, Antonio Lucero, Bunga Manurung of HKBO Montclair Lutheran Church, and Terri Gentry of the Black American West Museum. ​

Other+Wise programs and partnerships "can be and should be the start of many journeys that deeply value building relationships with people who are different than ourselves, cultural competency, justice work, and doing mission in a new but very old way."

Ongoing Service Opportunities

​Invest in CTS's young people!

Share your time and help guide young people in their relationships with God. 

Join an event team, create a short Learning Hour video, do a one-time event, or snag a behind-the-scenes role. Whatever your time allowance, skillsets or personality type, there is a way for you to get involved! ​

If you prefer cooking, or just hanging out with older youth, we can also use your help! Folks are needed to provide a dessert for Oheysis on a Tuesday, or just be present as a caring adult on Tuesdays or Sunday lunches offsite.
