New Jerusalem Baptist Church, the first and only Denver church to shelter homeless women every night during the cold winter months, has inspired its Curtis Park neighbors. "What little they have, they are going to share it," said neighbor Sue Glassmacher. "It's an incredible lesson for us all."
The tiny 38-year-old church, which started taking in homeless women a few months ago, has always lived hand-to-mouth.
"We don't have any money," said the Rev. Calvin Kelly. "Any dime that comes into the church goes back out into the community."
