Senior Happenings at Our Savior's

The Senior Drop-in Center is Open

The Senior Center continues its Thursday programs on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays during June and the rest of the summer. The Senior Ministry is an outreach to the entire community, as well as to OSLC. Please invite your friends.

The Senior Drop-in Center Regular Schedule

August 12 and 26

Tuesdays 1:00—3:30 PM Senior Drop-In Center
Thursdays 10:45 AM Program
Thursdays 12:00 PM Community Lunch (All are invited, and we have youngsters joining us as well as seniors.) Cost of $3.50 for the best lunch in town.
Join us on Thursdays for lunch prepared by our marvelous chefs, Jerry Maher, Ricardo Trujillo, and Daniel Hutchins and staff!  We pledge not to card those who are under fifty years old.
Thursdays 1:00—3:30 PM Senior Drop-In Center

Where is the Center? Come into the SE door of the church and down the stairs or elevator. You will be directed to the center with entry on the NW side of the fellowship hall (go up the ramp to enter). OR, come in the Senior Center Door off the church’s north parking lot. A ramp is provided for easy access.

What’s our plan for bad weather? If the Denver Public Schools close, so do we. Otherwise we will be here. Please use your own judgment as to whether you should be out on bad weather days.

Programming Schedule for June
June 24 - Bible Study with Jane Mountain

The Senior Center is adding new programming. The following donations are needed: printer, office supplies, Cuisinart, bingo set, books, and blank CD's. Thank you to all who have donated. Our list was longer but several items came to us unsolicited.

Special Announcements

The Endowment Committee has approved funding for grant writing for the center. We plan to expand our program to include healthcare offerings, trips, computer lab, and more. Our Steering Committee is working on plans for the future to be included in grant proposals. Thanks to Terri Asivido and Judith Lamb for serving on the Steering Committee. Walter Stein will be joining us as well.

We are pleased to announce that we received our first grant of $1,000 from Capitol Hill United Ministries (CHUM). Our hearty thanks to CHUM and an encouragement for those who shop at King Soopers on 9th and Corona to utilize the coupons found on many food items throughout the store. You can also help by freeing up a Monday morning to process coupons at Warren United Methodist Church (14th Ave and Gilpin St, 9:00-11:30 AM).

The Prayer Shawl Ministry has been started by the seniors but is for the entire church. See the Prayer Shawl article for information on a Prayer Shawl Day scheduled for Saturday, April  24th,  from 9:00 AM to Noon. Drop by any time that morning to join us in knitting and crocheting, chatting and praying. If you don’t know how to knit or crochet, we’ll teach you!

We have people—Thank you to all who have been involved in small and big ways. A special thanks this month to Karen May and Frank Tapy who provided and hung new curtains. And we can’t forget Ricardo Trujillo, our volunteer chef, who has been searching his cookbooks and bringing in exotic items such as Truffle Oil to bring our meals to the level of Five Star Gourmet. Thanks to our Kitchen Administrator, Jerry Maher, who searches the stores for the best buys, plans the meals and leads the charge in cooking. Thanks to Daniel Hutchins whose hard work assures that serving goes smoothly.

And we have plans—The sky’s the limit for Capitol Hill’s only Senior Center. We’re getting the basics down, and soon we will be marketing the center to reach out to a larger community. Grant writing is our next step as well. Send your friends our way!

Stay tuned for more. We Seniors are on the move!
