boots for columbine

Our mission partner and neighborhood school, Columbine Elementary is busy welcoming back their students!  We look forward to another school year supporting them with our “Boots for Columbine” outreach.  Each year, Columbine staff identify kids who are in need of boots for winter.  Since 2019 (excluding 2020), your generous donations have allowed us to purchase 250 pairs of boots for these wonderful kids.  With your donations, we have also been able to purchase over 100 pairs of tennis shoes in the spring for some of these deserving students since the outreach started.  Thank you! 


If you would like to make a donation to help with the purchase of snow boots for this winter, please click on the button below.  A check may also be written to Central Presbyterian Church noting “Boots for Columbine” on the memo line. 

 

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Jennifer Haratsaris.  Thank you!


Boots for Columbine!

Our journey toward a more just and loving world began on Sunday, September 14, with a powerful sermon from Rev. Dr. David Barker. He invited our community to join our friends at Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley in their Building Beloved Community initiative. It is a call to action rooted in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s powerful words: "Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.”


If you missed it, you can watch David's sermon here.


This journey is guided by the BE LOVE movement, a growing effort led by Habitat to achieve justice through courageous acts. It defines a three-step path to creating a more peaceful world:

  • Educate: Learning the principles of justice and nonviolence.
  • Build: Strengthening character and community through action.
  • Act: Creating lasting change with the steps of Kingian Nonviolence.

one great hour of sharing

pc(usa) special offering

Around the world, millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity. The work done in support of the causes supported by One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS), disaster, hunger, poverty, climate change, and immigration/migration and refugees, serves individuals and communities in need. This work provides people with safety, sustenance, and hope.


Each gift to OGHS helps to improve the lives of people in these challenging situations. The Offering provides us a way to share God’s love with our neighbors in need. In fact, OGHS is the single, largest way Presbyterians come together every year to work for a better world. Please consider donating to One Great Hour of Sharing.


When we all do a little, it adds up to a lot. Thank you.


february funds drive

for the round pantry

Each year we set aside February as the month we dedicate to raising food and funds for The Round Pantry at Westview Presbyterian Church.  Will you join us in supporting this amazing outreach and help end food insecurity for our friends and neighbors in Longmont?  Please consider making a financial donation so that the Round Pantry may use the funds where most needed.  In most cases, donating funds to a food bank is considered more impactful than donating goods because it allows the food bank to purchase exactly what they need in bulk at lower prices, maximizing the reach of your donation.  But they also shared their most needed food items if you would like to shop for them.  All are blessings.


Pantry Needs:
Canned Beans

Canned Meals (stew, chili, etc.)
Canned Fruit
Canned Milk
Canned Meat or Fish
Canned Pasta (SpaghettiO’s, ravioli, etc.)
Canned Soup
Canned Vegetables
Cereal (hot or cold)
Pasta or Rice Meals
Granola Bars and Protein Bars
Peanut Butter
Macaroni & Cheese

You will find donation boxes placed in our lobby and Fellowship Hall.  Financial donations are also welcome! Please make checks payable to Central Longmont with “Food Drive” in the memo line.  Or click the button below to give online via our trusted provider, ShelbyGiving.com, for secure processing of your donation.

finding peace in nature

We initially launched our Finding Peace in Nature Challenge amidst the beautiful pause and vivid colors of autumn. While the season changes, the need for peace remains constant. In the busy rhythm of our lives, finding a sustained moment of rest can feel challenging. We invite you to continue or revisit this challenge throughout every season to connect with the enduring stillness and beauty of God's creation.  Learn more here.

christmas joy offering

pc(usa) special offering

By giving to the Christmas Joy Offering, you honor God's gift of Jesus Christ by providing assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing our future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.


God has blessed the Church with incredible leadership in every time and place, but those leaders often need to be supported by their communities as well. This Offering addresses the support needed by some of our leaders, including supporting leadership development for communities of color, and providing support for Presbyterian church workers in their time of need.

The Christmas Joy Offering has been a cherished Presbyterian tradition since the 1930s. The Offering distributes gifts equally to the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions and to Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. The Assistance Program provides critical financial support to church workers and their families. Presbyterian-related schools and colleges provide education and leadership development while nurturing racial and ethnic heritage. This has been a Presbyterian commitment for nearly 140 years.
