Affirmation of Mother Kae by the greater communion of the Ecumenical Catholic Churches
Beloved Community of Mary of Magdala
It is with great joy that we, your ECC synod delegates, share with you that the ECC overwhelmingly and resoundingly affirmed the election of Mother Kae Madden as the first Bishop of the Rocky Mountain Region. We also passed new versions of the ECC Constitution and Statues. (The new constitution and noted changes will be posted soon on the ECC website.)
We are so very proud of Mother Kae, who will remain pastor of the Church of the Beloved, as she assumes her new ministry of Bishop, and we joyfully anticipate her Consecration on September 19th. (Information to follow later.)
Tom Moos and Michael Six - Delegates to the House of Laity
Co-Pastors Dcn Rosean Amaral and Rev Jane Reina - Delegates to the House of Pastors.

Mary of Magdala, ECC is Moving! Well, not out of the building, just into the west wing!
As 301 Faith Partners, we are finding ways to live out our vision of collaboration. Toward that end we have audited the room and facilities of this building, to better maximize the efficiency for ministry purposes. We found opportunity to rearrange areas to better meet the priorities for ministry. We have a large building, with underutilized rooms, rooms that are overscheduled, storage areas requiring repurpose, and a shift in mindset of how we use our greatest asset – the building.
What does this mean? Currently, we are moving the clergy and administrative staff of Mary of Magdala, St. Paul’s, and Trinity all to the west end of the building, where Trinity’s offices are currently. Rearranging rooms will be little cost to the congregations
What are we asking from you? To be open and flexible to some of

|
|
the changes in room use than what you may remember; to pray and trust in what God is doing; to trust in our equitable sharing together better than we have previously; to live into our covenant.
As we live into the reality of clergy and administration working near one another, we have time to discuss plans for Phase 2, which would be more extensive and require a vote from the congregations for both funding and to proceed forward.
Our office phone follows us anywhere so call us anytime between 9:00 a.m and 5:00 pm, Mon-Fri. You can also leave a message at any time.

301 Faith Partners Covenant
We covenant to LOVE – to love God, Self, and our Partners in Ministry as we Love Our Self; seeking together God’s will for our partnership.
We covenant to COMMUNICATE – to be open, honest, and more effective in communication among our three congregations; to communicate the decisions and work of our faith partnership to all three congregations; to respect each congregation to retain its own unique historical character, governance, and polity, as each continues to manage its own finances, even as we share expenses.
We covenant to WORK TOGETHER in all Volunteer Areas – to help share the responsibility and care of our common spaces including sanctuary, kitchen, narthex, fellowship hall, and sacristy. We will continue to work together across ministry teams such as Faith Formation, Social Eco Justice, Music, and Property, while promising to find other ways to faithfully engage in ministry together.
We covenant to SHARE monthly Operations and Maintenance Expenses – to reassess each congregation’s contribution, based on need and ability, to the shared expenses of operating and maintaining the church and its ministries. We share together the information of finances, to better contribute to the shared expense of ministry.
We covenant to INVITE one another into any capital expense – to consider, create, and fund capital projects (expenses outside normal monthly operation and maintenance) for use by all three congregations.

Our commitment to provide for those in need
Lutheran Campus Ministry is setting up a new program to help ten CSU students from the margins. They are students who have been referred from various agencies - like Rams Against Hunger, Foster Care (deals with kids aging out of foster care) and the Gay and Lesbian group on campus.
The idea is to provide some community support for these students while they are studying.
Pastor Paul Judson, clergy leader at Lutheran Campus Ministry, is hoping to develop an Intentional
|
|
|
|
Community - with students interacting and supporting each other as they receive community support. The overall program will extend through the year.
The 301 Partners have been asked to consider providing a community meal once a week for four weeks at the Lutheran Campus Ministry housed at 805 S. Shields, across from campus.
We will have a planning session at 9:00 am on Saturday, July 24 on the south lawn at Trinity.
Are you interested in participating in this ministry? Email St Paul's at office@stpauls-fc.org for questions or to join in this wonderful opportunity.
