February 8th Pub Fellowship
We will celebrate together this month on Feb. 8th at 3:30 pm at Lucky Joe's Sidewalk Saloon.
For anyone new to Lucky Joe's, it is located at number 25 Old Town Square in Fort Collins. Their web site brags that "we like to think of Lucky Joe's as a friendly Irish Pub in an Old Western Saloon" Besides having an extensive lunch, snack, and dinner menu, "we feature an extensive list of beers from very near and very far, a thoughtful wine selection and cocktails." "You can't help but have a Good Ole Time at Lucky Joe's.
What a great place for us to gather just before Lent! Have a hoot!
The city parking garage is right next door across the street on Mountain Ave.

Please Join With Us in Our Stewardship Campaign
With the beginning of a new year comes an opportunity to pause and reflect on the past year, as well as to anticipate with hope all that the new year brings.
It is with hope and anticipation that we welcome you to join our 2024 Stewardship Campaign.
We are ahead of budget in the 8th month of our fiscal year and anticipate an overage that can help fund the similar operational costs, programs and administrative needs. But we are still in need of an increase of 4% in our Sunday collection to help balance the budget for this next year. We receive no other funding and remain a financially independent community.
To read our letter of invitation, and review our annual and proposed budget, please click here.

And for any questions, please email us at marymagdalafc@gmail.com
In Christ’s love and mission,
Mary of Magdala, ECC Leadership Council

301 Faith Partners Prayer Group
On the last Monday of each month at 10:30 am, the 301 Faith Partners Prayer Group meets to pray for the 301 Faith Partners! The group opens by calling on the Holy Spirit to be present. They then take one of the Core Values of the 301 Faith Partners and reflect on it. Following this, they engage in Lectio Divina and then share their reflections. They pray for the clergy of Mary of Magdala, St. Paul’s, and Trinity, and the leadership bodies of all three congregations. And they close with a Litany of God’s Mission for the 301 Faith Partners, which was first prayed at the Bishops’ Blessing on May 31, 2023.
Contact Pat with any questions.
