Good morning, Friends,

Join us today at 10am MST in-person or online at the Pine Street Church YouTube Channel.

Today we will celebrate All Saints Sunday--remembering those in our community who have died over the past year as well as honoring the saints of our lives who have been guides and shown grace to us along the way.

Please take time to look around this Pine Street Post for ways that you can connect with God and with one another. And be sure to share all of the Pine Street Church goodness by following us on Facebook and Instagram---and telling others about your church!

May 6--May 20, 2022

You are invited to join us not as a tourist, but as a pilgrim.

Along the way you will be encouraged to approach each experience with contemplative awareness and each sacred site with care.Time will be given for learning, integration, meditation and interaction. As we journey together, we will focus on major themes in the Irish spiritual tradition.

Time will be spent exploring how those themes can be integrated into our lives. Optional meditative sessions will include the music of the Taizé community, Celtic music, mandala work, journaling, small group interaction, discussions with our leaders, Irish music and prayer. Because registration is limited to 20 participants, group size will encourage personal interaction in style and content.

When we are joined by local specialists, mythologists, archaeologists, artisans, musicians and storytellers to share experiences and offer guidance to us, there will be opportunities for interaction. We are confident that your journey will be a fulfilling one.We have gone before you, having traveled to Ireland many times to meet with those who will join us as we go.

During the World Mission Offering this October, we have the opportunity to join the transformational work God is doing around the world through International Ministries’ 120+ global servants and 250+ global partners. God can use our participation not only to change lives internationally, but also to deepen our own discipleship in Christ. You can take part in what the Holy Spirit is doing to bring God’s kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Please prayerfully consider a generous gift to The World Mission Offering which will be collected throughout the month of October. You can give online HERE, being sure to select "World Mission Offering 2021" from the drop down tab, or you can give in person Sunday mornings by dropping an offering in our offering box using a WMO envelope found in the pew racks. Thank you to everyone who's already given! So far we've raised $2,236!

With gratitude for your generous support,

Your Heart for Missions Team

A big thank you to the Pine Head team for another successful Crop Walk event, raising funds to address hunger in our community and throughout the world. Thus far the Pine Street Church Pine Heads have raised $1,540. toward the goal of $2,000.  

On October 24th the team of walkers traveled a pre-mapped course, symbolic of those individuals in our world who have to walk miles for food. The walking team this year was Bill & Mary Beth Mankin, Kathryn & Francis Duffy, Debbie Setlock and Sandy Rabenhorst. CLICK HERE to contribute. It’s not too late!

Many books and videos have appeared in the last decade advocating the death of our ego. Death of the ego may sound like a concept from eastern religions, but taking up one's cross and dying to oneself, a Christian idea, has similar affects. Yet many of the Western ideals we grew up with promote individualism and the enhancement of our identity. Would the death of our ego mean the death of our sense of self, and why would we want that? 

In this presentation, we will examine what ego death means, and whether it is something we should desire? Moreover, we will see, through an exploration of the art and ideas of the West, that ego death is actually not a foreign concept to Europe and the Americas, but has been advocated by our greatest prophets and seekers. 

This event is both in person and on-line. To attend this LIVE event in person, show up at 9:00 AM MST at the Off-Broadway Salon Room at Pine Street Church, located at 1237 Pine Street; Boulder, CO.

All We Can Save has been selected as this year’s “One Book, One Boulder”, and we are one of the registered book circles to share insights from the book. There’s still time to gain a lot from this book study.

We started on October 5 to meet by Zoom on Tuesday evenings, 7:00 - 8:30pm, for nine weeks. To learn more or sign up, contact book circle leader, Mary Beth Mankin, mbmakin545@gmail.com. Let us encourage one another in making a positive difference for our earth.

Showing hospitality takes a team. And we need a few more players on our hospitality team for Sunday mornings! Can you help?

We're looking to fill out our online signup form for being a greeter on Sunday mornings. It's both easy and important! And even more so, FUN!

The Oasis women’s book study/support/ministry is currently reading The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times by Dr. Anita L. Sanchez. "The Four Sacred Gifts reveals how our world depends on each of us to discover our interconnectedness to people, earth, and animals, with awareness that we are ‘all one relation’”.

Dr. Sanchez is a Boulder author. This is a great time for women to join the group to learn something new, as well as develop new relationships. Contact Mary Beth Mankin, mbmankin545@gmail.com, with questions or to get zoom information for Oasis meetings on Thursdays at 1:30 PM.
