Sex at Six!

Sex at Six is Comprehensive Sexuality Education for adults.  It isn’t a list of thou shalt nots...not a how-to or a to-do list either... Instead, in a group setting, it is an honest exploration of life issues related to sex, sexuality and relationships. Good solid information is provided.  Real questions dealt with. Group discussion is included. “Our Whole Lives” is a curriculum developed by the  United Church of Christ, affirming to all identities. Eight weeks, led by Revs. Mariah & Malcolm.  Mariah and Malcolm had illness in their family on Feb. 15, so we'll start Wednesday, February 22 and continue through April 11.

Ministry and Mission Opportunities:

Warren Church

Be a part of our free Sunday breakfast program. Donate and/or come help serve! Talk with Jenn or Michael or Pastor Mariah.

Support Warren and the Redemption Fellowship community with your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness. Come see and hear why we do what we do.

United Methodist Church

UMCOR LogoGive to the hurting places in the world through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The easiest way is to write a check to any United Methodist Church, put "UMCOR" in the Memo line, and drop it into the offering plate! You can additionally specify a specific emergency in words ("Pacific Emergency" "Japan Quake" etc.) or a giving number, such as 3021317 (Pacific Emergency).

One Great Hour of Sharing 2011All of what you give, 100%, goes where you designate. The reason we promise this is that the administrative costs for UMCOR are covered by a special offering taken every Spring called The One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS). In 2012, the offering will be taken March 18. You can read more about this here.

Besides giving of your money, you can give of yourself, through volunteering at the UMCOR depots, either in Salt Lake City or in Louisiana. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for details.

But not just UMCOR: there are volunteers in mission who give of themselves all over the world. Here is more information. Or visit one or more of these web links:

Spiritual Development at Warren

Warren Church continues our children’s spiritual education during morning worship. We are currently looking for teachers, assistants, and coordinators to assist us in a new up and coming, fun program for our kids. Although we do not have a formal Sunday School for adults, we do offer a number of forums, classes and discussion groups offering spiritual growth opportunities.

Prayer Circle

A time of reflection. A time of prayer. A time to grow in faith and love.  All are welcome… drop in or commit to a series. This group meets during the school year on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month, at Warren church in the Library from 10:00am– 11:30am. Info: 303-388-4186.

Warren's Reading Room Ministry!

Rev. Malcolm Himschoot, pastor Mariah's spouse, has turned part of the downstairs classroom space into a new reading room ministry. We are seeking donations of worthwhile books, DVDs and periodicals to "support and engage each one's faith journey" and "to proclaim theologically and socially progressive Christian values."

Please contact Malcolm if you subscribe to any of the following and would be willing to share magazines like:

  • Orion
  • Sojourners
  • Ploughshares
  • Weavings
  • Christian Century
  • Alive Now
  • The Sun

Also think about whether you have quality books to share related to ministries at Warren:

  • Narcotics Anonymous
  • housing and transition from homelessness
  • refugees
  • youth
  • recent seminary textbooks
  • lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-affirming Christian spirituality

Lastly, we have a computer available for world wide web browsing, e-mail, etc. Let us know if you have places you'd recommend on a 'virtual library' bookshelf - for instance the link to your own blog! "With Wi-Fi, a comfy chair, and a few organized shelves, our reading room is a comfortable space." We invite you to use it for reading, prayer, reflection, and browsing.

Food Bank

Food Bank Denver Urban Ministries, a multi-service agency located just a block away in the heart of Denver, asks the community to donate food to the agency as soon as possible, as families are being turned away. Requests for food have increased 31 percent from the same period last year. The agency needs a supply of more than 25,000 pounds of food each month to meet the current need.
The top five donation needs now:

  • peanut butter
  • pasta sauce
  • canned tuna
  • soup
  • diapers (all sizes)
