During the August 9 Work Day, ECM received a visit from a local news station to highlight some of the projects going on around Denver as part of the second-annual Denver Days, which is a way to encourage neighbors to get to know one another better through block parties, social events, and service projects.  We had a great day of meeting new neighbors, completing projects in the Barnum neighborhood, and then having a story about one of those projects aired on the local news that evening.  Check it out here.  What are some things that you could do to get to know your neighbors a little better?

Neighbor to Neighbor Club
Neighbor to Neighbor Club  
The Neighbor to Neighbor Club is a way to connect monthly donations to the projects ECM completes. Every $10 per month donated to ECM is the equivalent of supporting one project during the year, which seems like a pretty great investment since you could easily spend that same amount on one movie or a couple cups of coffee at Starbucks!  For more info or to sign-up today, click here.
 
Our goal is to reach 250 projects funded with monthly donations.  Can we count on you to help?
 
Church Partner: God's Grace Community Church
God's Grace God's Grace Community Church is a community church, classical in their beliefs, contemporary in practice and worship style. The people of God's Grace have been growing in faith together since December 2004 with a passion for loving God, loving people, and serving the world, while meeting at Rock Canyon High School.  God's Grace Community Church has been involved with ECM for the past five years and is a great partner to be serving Denver together "one block at a time"!
