On Tuesday, April 8, Trinity hosted the Faith and
Education breakfast discussion called "The 4 Rs: Reading, 'Riting,
'Rithmetic and Religion." Pastor Mike Dent welcomed guests and gave a
blessing. Those attending heard from
faith leaders about how churches can further engage and support Colorado's
education system.
Guest speakers included Jill Hawley, Associate
Commissioner of Achievement and Strategy, Colorado Department of Education;
Andy Mendelsberg, Principal, Denver East High School; and Chris Watney,
President and CEO, Colorado Children's Campaign. The event was sponsored by the
Colorado Council of Churches and the Colorado Children's Campaign.
The excellent presentations stimulated the interest of
Trinity members present and there is an on-going conversation about how
Trinity might provide a program for those interested in learning
more about how our congregation might further engage and support Colorado's
education system. If you are interested
