'Soul Care' and Pentecost
|
|
|
Hello community of Mary of Magdala. We pray that you are well and staying safe.
This week for
Soul Care, Wednesday, May 27, the deacons would like to invite you to a zoom discussion in preparation for Pentecost Sunday.
Since the Holy Spirit nudges us to a sense of new beginnings and gives us a way back into relationship, we'd like to offer some questions to spark our discussion as well as ask you to add some of your own.
|
|
|
|
Here are a few to ponder:
- How is the Holy Spirit moving in your life at this time?
- How have you responded to the nudgings of the Holy Spirit?
- Do you still experience a God with power to transform you?
- How has the Holy Spirit blown through your own life, rearranging things, opening things up and maybe even setting your own hair on fire?
Hope you can join with us at
10 am or 6:30 pm for a Spirit-filled chat! - Your Deacons

The Rocky Mountain Regional Council
requests your thoughts on prayer
We open our Rocky Mountain Regional Council with a prayer, which was appropriate for the time of Calling a Bishop. Now, going forward into what might be a long haul with Covid 19, we are divining a prayer appropriate for our journey into the unknown.
We ask for your prayerful thoughts so we may reflect the gratitude, petitions, and longings of all our churches as we pray together. Please email to
marymagdalafc@gmail.com
In the Peace of Christ, Your Deacons

From Mary Vogl, community member -
I’m writing to ask for help for a Palestinian student, a Business major at Methodist University in North Carolina who I met in Fall 2018 on Semester at Sea. He had to leave his dorm on May 2, so he is
looking for work and housing in Fort Collins
this summer before (hopefully) returning to his campus in mid-August for his final semester.
Please contact me directly with questions or discuss further at Mary.Vogl@ColoState.edu
