On Friday, November 5, over 170 people gathered at the Denver Botanic Gardens to support Hands of the Carpenter and their mission to help support single parents and widows, particularly in the area of automotive upkeep.
Before the cocktail hour and banquet began, the grounds of the Botanic Garden, along with the wonderful Henry Moore sculptures, were open for strolling and enjoying in the unseasonably warm November sunset. The wine and beer tasting as well as the outstanding buffet were first rate. Entertainment by the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Youth Ensemble was entertaining and upbeat.
Best of all was the "inside-out" auction, in which supporters vied for the honor of purchasing necessary automotive services for Hands' clients and for their new automotive shop, Colorado Auto Tech. What a blessing to see such open wallets in tight times!
Over 170 people helping to live out Hands' founding scripture: Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. ~James 1:27
