Reflection from our Co-Pastor

Thursday, November 3, 2022

If you were not able to attend the Remembrance Service last night, here is a beautiful poem that was read and represents the heartfelt and beautiful service - Fallen Leaves, A Service for All Souls'

Poem

‘Tis only we who grieve

They do not leave

They are not gone

They look upon us still

They walk among the valleys now

They stride upon the hill

Their smile is in the summer sky

Their grace is in the breeze

Their memories whisper in the grass.

Their calm is in the trees

Their light is in the winter snow

Their tears are in the rain

Their merriment runs in the brook

Their laughter in the lane

Their gentleness is in the flowers

They sigh in autumn leaves

They do not leave

They are not gone

’Tis only we who grieve

(Anonymous)

We need you!

Our 301 Faith Partners combined Social Justice Advocacy and Ministry is seeking a Mary of Magdala parish member to join the 3-church task force to explore opportunities in providing preschool opportunities for resource challenged kids.

Colorado passed HB-22-1295 in April 2022 focusing on local organizations providing services around:

Early intervention services for infants and toddlers
The Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP)
Colorado Universal Preschool Program (10 hours of free preschool per week)

Funds are available but a clear purpose and process must be defined and submitted to the state soon.

Join this task force and impact the future of young children in our church and local community. Please call or text Ron Splittgerber at: 970-58-4600.

A Reminder to Mark Your Calendars !

The 9th Annual Turkey Round-up

November 13th, from 9:00 AM until 12:30 PM.

It’s time we circle around our calendars!

The need is growing and the Food Bank is requesting more frozen turkeys then previous years. Can you join with us again to help families celebrate this Thanksgiving with a turkey?

The truck will be in the front of the church from 9:00 -12:30pm on November 13 only. Frozen turkeys will be collected but PLEASE PLEASE- if you are able to squeeze your turkey even a little bit- it is no longer frozen and won’t be safe to donate.

Hugs to all who bring their big bird to church!!
