Cans Around the Church - Results

The results are in and.....WOW! 724 lbs of food were collected and $685 was donated. The love did not stop there, about a dozen CASES of diapers were collected for the Trinity Nappy Project and 70 lbs of food for the Little Pantry was collected. Thanks to all who participated and volunteered. A special thanks to Heather Womack and Chris Bobb at the Food Bank for Larimer County for lending the Newman truck, what a generous gift!!

Tasha Barron (6th grade) and her mom, Katie, went around their neighborhood with a wagon for an hour asking their neighbors to donate a couple cans of food for the Food Bank and the Food Drive Trinity, St Paul’s, and Mary of Magdala hosted. Way to go Tasha and Katie!

Notice of Death

In the light of the resurrection to eternal life and with great sadness we share the news of the death of one of our members. We commend to almighty God and our Lord Jesus Christ a beloved faithful servant of God:

Carolyn Funk

Rest eternal grant to her, O Lord,

and let light perpetual shine upon her!

There will be no services at this time. Please keep our congregation and the family in your thoughts and prayers in these coming days.

Special Congregational Meeting for Katie

Exciting Update! Many of you know that our Family Minister Katie Kline, has been part of the candidacy process to be a rostered leader in the church. When we called her last year, it was to the role of Deacon, though Katie was still working on the approval from our synod. The time has come! She has been approved to be ordained as Deacon, assigned to Rocky Mountain Synod, and now needs to be called (again?) to Trinity.

Please join us following worship, on Sunday, October 11 at 11:30 am following worship, via Zoom, for a special congregational meeting for the purpose of voting on Katie Kline to be Deacon at Trinity. Quorum is still needed.

Lift Every Voice and Sing Wednesdays

Wednesday evening worships at 6:45 pm; we are starting a new series called: Lift Every Voice and Sing. Wednesday worships will be a study songs of liberation, justice, and hope all through the lens of our faith. We will sing, discuss, and pray together. This service came together from a recommendation from the Social and Eco Justice Ministry for an opportunity to gather in worship focused on justice and non-violence. This series will continue until Advent. Please join us!

Prayer for Non-Violence

As we are daily exposed to conflict and violence in our nation, and as we ourselves get caught up in our own "righteous" anger", we are called to remember that we follow a non-violent Christ and are encouraged to pray always in unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In thinking about this, our three-community Social Justice group has committed to pray intentionally for the alleviation of the violence in our country.

We invite anyone and everyone to pause, in whatever manner you choose, and pray with us on Fridays at noon starting September 4.

Suggested starting points could be one of the following from "Out of the Silence" - Jim Cotter Prayer Book)

Creator God, faithful to your covenant with the earth,

steady our hearts and wills in times of great turbulence,

that we may indeed fulfil your purpose for us

as heralds of your just and lasting peace.

(Jim Cotter Prayer Book)

Life-giver, Pain-bearer, Love-maker,

source of all that is and that shall be,

Father and Mother of us all,

loving God, in whom is heaven:

The hallowing of your name echo through the universe.

the way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world.

Your heavenly will be done by all created beings.

Your commonwealth of peace and freedom

sustain our hope and come on earth.

With the bread we need for today,

feed us.

In the hurts we absorb from one another,

forgive us.

In times of temptation and test,

strengthen us.

From trials too severe to endure,

spare us.

From the grip of all that is evil,

free us.

For you reign in the glory of the power that is love,

now and forever. Amen
