Urban Skye

Guides for the creative, spiritual life

We live in an age where spirituality is assumed and creativity is esteemed.  In all arenas of life – love, work, play, rest – Urban Skye recognizes the deep value of both of these virtues.  For almost a decade, we have been a quiet influence for hundreds of people and dozens of communities as a guide for the practices, experiences and conversations that bring this kind of meaning to life.

From art films at a pub to Advent liturgies to bowling nights with orphans, we have not been bound by the traditional ways to be creatively spiritual.  Now that we approach our second decade of service, we shift our focus from venues we have created to a team of guides for the creative, spiritual life.

A Denver Book of Prayer for January

Denver Book of Prayer for January is provided by Confluence Ministries (www.confluenceministries.org).

Confluence Ministries is a non-profit organization set in the middle of the at-risk West Colfax neighborhood of Denver.  Our building- a former Jewish synagogue and yeshiva, then vacant and a hub for crime- is now a vibrant, life-giving outreach center serving a community in need.

We aren't a church, nor do we hold church services, but we share the love of Jesus simply by proactively caring for the needs of our neighbors. We believe the work of our hands speak unmistakably the love of Christ.   

Being a catalyst is a primary function of Confluence-- bringing together diverse streams of the Body of Christ, with their talents and resources, for the sole purpose of fulfilling God's call to love and serve.

We love. We serve. Because Christ commands us to.

Advent Liturgies - Thursday, Dec. 22nd 5pm and 6pm.  

5pm and 6pm Thursdays Dec. 22nd.

Pomegranate Place

750 Clarkson St. in Capital Hill

Join us for half an hour of Advent reflections at Pomegranate Place.

For the four Thursdays of Advent this year, Urban Skye and Pomegranate Place will provide a container for reconnecting with that ancient rhythm. The container is a short liturgy (with some things borrowed and some things new) that will engage the soul. Each of the four liturgies will bring to light different parts of the Nativity Story. We hope it will help you launch your own season of peace.

Book of Prayer November - online

The Denver Book of Prayer for November is provided by The Refuge (www.therefugeonline.org).  The        Refuge community is seeking to find our way together--really together--all broken and with something beautiful to offer.  Our ministry practice is to simply invite all into community.  A loving community of light, hope, and authentic living.  We invite you to our world this month.  Consider your own brokenness, your own wholeness, and the beautiful reality that they can and do coincide together at the same time.
