Long-time UCC pastor to lead Denver's Cinco de mayo worship service

Denver's Civic Center Park will host a worship service at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 4, as part of the city's annual Cinco de mayo celebration. Pastor Steve Johnsen (UCC) will lead what he calls "mass" for all in attendance.

Johnsen has served 44 years at the Denver Inner City Parish, an ecumenical mission serving the Latino and greater West Denver community.

Partial to using the Book of Common Prayer, Johnsen's typical worship year also includes a celebration of Dia de los Muertos, Las Posadas, and an Easter Vigil.

This year's Cinco de mayo communion service will feature mariachis including Parish member Hector Madrid. All are welcome.
