Hello Everyone!

The summer heat has really been hitting hard this year! ☀️

We’re looking for some community support in order to get our guests here at HomewardBound more weather appropriate clothing! 🩳👕🧢

Our guests are also in need of newer pillows for their beds. 🛏️💤

If you have any gently used and clean pillows or summer clothing that you’d like to donate, please feel free to drop them off at our shelter at 562 29 Road between the hours of 9am and 5pm!

As always, we are so grateful for all of the support from our community. Together, we can continue to support our unhoused neighbors as they work to create a path to self sufficiency. We couldn’t do the work we do without you!

As wildfires rage in Mesa County, we offer intercession thru the Theotokos, mother of God, for the land, the firefighters, and all affected.

The service of Paraklesis is chanted to the Theotokos by those whose souls are in distress or sorrow. It is also chanted during the first 14 days of August leading up to the Dormition of the Theotokos.

The Saints are our role models; we are called to imitate them, as they imitated Christ.

Let us pray to the Lord for guidance and strength as we attempt to reach the choir of the Saints where God Himself patiently and lovingly waits for each and every one of us.

Memory Eternal, Our Dear Friend Dan Christopulos

With faith in God’s mercy and in the everlasting life to come, on May 30, 2026 our dear friend and colleague, former Orthodox Christian Mission Center Development Director Dan Christopulos, fell asleep in the Lord. He dedicated his life to serving the Church, sharing our faith across the world, and loving others in the name of Christ. Surrounded by his family, he passed peacefully at home.

Dan not only served as a priest; he was also OCMC’s first missionary, a country representative for International Orthodox Christian Charities, and a police chaplain. In all these positions of service, he impacted the lives of thousands of people, offering grace and mercy to those in need as he shared the profound hope of Christ’s Resurrection. His unfailing sense of humor and kindness made it easy to connect with him and brought great warmth to people in the farthest corners of the earth.

Our hearts are with Dan’s wife Patty, and their children and grandchildren: Jordan, Matthew, and Greysen; Zoe, Taylor, Evy, and Easton; Valerie, Kevin, Juliana, Connor, and Tommy; David, Kris, Ava, and Kate, and the entire family that he and Patty brought together.

We will miss Dan greatly, but we take comfort in the Resurrection, knowing he is embraced by our loving Lord. We thank Dan for all he has done for the Church and for Orthodox Christians around the world.

Memory eternal, dear brother.
