Come Celebrate with Us!

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time - August 7, 2022

Prayer is not sending in an order and expecting it to be fulfilled. Prayer is attuning yourself to the life

of the world, to love, the force that moves the sun and the moon and the stars. —Br. David Steindl-Rast

Join us Sunday at 5:00 p.m. in the Church or on Zoom. The Larimer County Covid dashboard is currently in 'green' making masks optional and up to the individual to wear or not. We will continue to monitor the dashboard.x

Father Teri Harroun is presiding. Our lectors are Ralph Dorland and Pedro Engel. Bill Smith and our outstanding music ministry will lead us in song.

Here is the worship aid (to view or print) to assist with prayer.

The Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)

Red Flag Law - Hosted by 301 Faith Partners

Tuesday - August 23 - 6:30 pm

ERPOs are an important tool in the gun violence and suicide prevention “toolkit”. With the support of Colorado Faith Communities United to End Gun Violence (CFCU) and Colorado Ceasefire, the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) became law in Colorado in 2020.

Colorado’s ERPO law allows family members and law enforcement to petition the courts for temporary removal of firearms from individuals who are at risk to themselves and/or others.

ERPOs help to reduce the daily loss of life due to firearm violence, including gun suicide, but the law is not widely understood.

Learn more on Tuesday, August 23 at 6:30 pm when the 301 Faith Partners will host a presentation about ERPO to our fellow communities of faith.

Those interested in learning more can register to attend in person or via Zoom. Please register for this event.
