Sand Creek Memorial Pilgrimage

Join East Denver Vineyard on July 31st for a day-long pilgrimage of remembrance, learning, and prayer as we journey to the site of the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre. We will begin at 8:45am at Bellwether House with an orientation. From there we will travel together to the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (3 hours away), arriving for guided reflection and learning on the land itself.

Throughout the day, we will practice attentive listening, prayer, and reflection as followers of Jesus seeking truth, reconciliation, and a deeper understanding of our shared history.

This pilgrimage is open to anyone seeking to learn, lament, and grow in the way of Christ through remembrance, justice, and peacemaking. Invite a friend who wants to learn with us. 

Note: you will need to pack a lunch and bring money for dinner.
To best prepare for our learning pilgrimage, we encourage every participant to join us for an optional visit to the History Colorado Center after our worship service on Sunday, July 26, 11-12:30pm. We will explore extensive Sand Creek exhibit and learn about the historical context surrounding this tragic chapter in Colorado’s story. Admission is $20 for adults, free for children.
