Safe in God’s Love
A Welcoming, Safe Place for all People
Montview Church through its Peace and Justice Task Force is working in partnership with PFLAG [/www.pflagdenver.org/] and the Covenant Network of Presbyterians [www.covenantnetwork.org] to find ways to help the world and the church to be as generous and just as God’s grace.  Upcoming activities will be occasionally posted at this sight.  The Denver chapter of PFLAG meets monthly at Montview Church.  Montview Church is the home of the Denver Gay Mens Chorus [www.dgmc.org] which “builds community through music.”  The DVD of the movie “For the Bible Tells Me So” may be borrowed for showing through Danean or Diane in the Montview Church office.

“I always wanted to be one of those people who would make things change for my gay friends – I just wasn’t sure how or where to do it.” Sound familiar? Chances are it is. Across the country, thousands of allies – straight individuals who don’t necessarily have a family member who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) – are seeing big changes in the way that their GLBT friends and colleagues are treated. While many of these changes are good, there’s still a long way to go before equality is reached.The problem is that many of these allies want to help, but just don’t know how, or if they’re needed, or, for that matter, where to start. Allies, you’ve come to the right place. Straight for Equality is the answer for you. Straight for Equality is a national outreach and education project to empower allies in supporting and advocating for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in three primary arenas: Our homes; Our workplaces; Our communities.

Welcome to Straight for Equality – we’re glad you’re here and can’t wait for you to start learning more. What’s next?
Take the Straight for Equality pledge and get a friend to do it too.
Find out 10 simple things you can do to change the world as an ally.
Meet some allies, read their stories...and tell yours.
Have questions? We have answers. Check out our FAQs.

Summer of Sabbath at Montview- June, July, August, 2008
Montview is inviting the congregation into a summer of rest, slowing down, and taking time to enjoy the gift of life. As we will begin our preparations for the Summer of Sabbath, we invite you to pick up a copy of Wayne Muller’s book “Sabbath,” on sale in the Commons on Sundays in May. We will be scheduling times to gather and share our insights from this book throughout the summer.
We will also be invited to make a Sabbath Covenant for the months of June, July, and August. Examples might include:
• Praying for Montview members and our church at a scheduled time each week
• Purchasing only “necessities” and refraining from extraneous shopping
• Turning off all electronic devices in your home one night a week

Those who take part in a Sabbath Covenant will then be invited to meet with others who have kept the same covenant to share insights and reflections. A covenant form will be available to sign in May through the bulletin and the desk in the Commons.
As we shift the patterns of our lives, we may hear more of what is truly necessary for ourselves and our church, and remember to whom we belong.

Invitation to Congregation and Staff for “Sabbath Suggestions”
Each week in the bulletin “Reflection” throughout the Summer, we will have a “Sabbath Suggestion”; a practical way that Sabbath time is a meaningful part of your life. If you wish to contribute your insights how the Summer of Sabbath is impacting you, in one of the summer bulletins, let Ann Christensen know at (303) 355-2095 ext. 117 or email her at Christensen@montview.org. You can use concrete insights from Muller’s book Sabbath and how it affects you


Columbarium Spring Flowerbed Clean-up • May 10th - 10:00 a.m

Bread for the World – Offering of Letters – Mother’s Day, May 11
For many years Montview has annually supported the work of Bread for the World to overcome hunger. This year’s BFW Offering of Letters will be asking Congress to Increase funding for poverty-fighting efforts by at least $5 billion a year, starting with this coming year, and improve U.S. assistance to ensure the maximum benefit reaches those in greatest need – the first step would be to pass the Global Poverty Act now in Congress. Plan now to write your Representative and both our Senators with these requests. Background information is available today in a letter-writing kit you can take home. And letters will be available for your signature starting next week. Thank you for participating with 2,500 congregations across the country in this campaign.

Mother’s Day Diaper Drive • May 11th and 18th
Celebrate and honor your mother and all mothers by donating diapers, formula, baby food or cereal to a low income or homeless mother served by Metro CareRing, a food pantry supported by Montview. Donations will be collected in Sunday School classes May 4, 11, and 18. Make a mother in the metro area happy to have these much needed items. Liza Kirkpatrick & Rosalie McCall-Johnson

Seniors Rockies Game • May 21st
Once again, Montview seniors will see a Rockies’ game on Wednesday, May 21, against the San Francisco Giants at 1:05 pm. To see the National League champion Rockies, we will be on the third base side, in the shade, with just a few steps to our seats. The plan is to meet in the church parking lot by 11:30 and go to the park in the church bus. Or if you prefer, you can use your own transportation. Tickets are $10 each. Call Harry Doyle at 303-388-2161 for reservations - tickets are limited, so first-come first served.

Garden Columbarium Reception • May 25th
The Garden Columbarium Commission would like to invite all Montview members and friends to attend the annual Memorial Weekend reception in the garden on Sunday, May 25, after the 11:00 service. Information about the Columbarium is available from Diane Cooper in the church office. We always welcome and are grateful to anyone who is a beginning gardener, a master gardener, or anyone in-between to help us keep this special garden at Montview a beautiful and peaceful place.
