Sunday, Oct 31 - 301 Faith Partners Shared Service at 10:30 am
** Join us on Zoom. No in-sanctuary service.
No 5:00 pm Mass**
In a real sense, the deepest thing in a human heart is not the verbiage but is actually that still silence—
the silence of intimacy where no word is needed and where a word would actually be a fracture.
—John O’Donohue
We are celebrating a shared service with our faith partners, St.Paul's and Trinity. Mother Rosean and Rev. Jane will assist Pastors Rick Reiten and Felicia Smith-Graybeal.

Sunday Morning Adult Forum For 301 Faith Partners
We will have a shared Adult Forum starting at 9:00 am,and all are invited to join the conversation. The link (different from worship) is here.
Contemplative Photography
At the Adult Forum, Betsy Kelly from St. Paul's Episcopal will discuss doing contemplative photography on your cell phone. Please have your cell phone with you and something small you could take pictures of. Since this will be a virtual event on Zoom, it should be easy to have something around the house to photograph!

A Time for Contemplative Art
and Silent Reflection
2:30 to 4:00 pm every Friday in the sanctuary
Hosted by Elaine Hild and Laurie Gudim
When Elaine was in Germany she loved being able to go and hang out in the sacred spaces of local churches. They were open! We are offering the same sort of experience — a weekly time when the sanctuary at 301 E Stuart will be open for anyone who would like to come, sit in silence, journal, draw and reflect. Elaine will have her harp and violin and will often play during this time. This is not a performance but rather a meditation.

Annual Fall Clean up Day
is Near!

Join together for the annual Fall Cleanup Day
Saturday, November 6,
from 9 AM to noon.
Please plan to bring your favorite rake, leaf-blower/leaf-vacuum, pruning shears, and/or other tools to clean up the church campus. If you would prefer to work inside or if the weather is too bad to be outside, please plan to bring cleaning supplies and hand vacuums for interior room cleaning. If you would be able to help with some informal childcare, that would be great, too.
Contact Steve Dugger, Property Ministry at (970) 691-7469
with any questions.

Interested in Working on a Regional Web Team? |
The Regional Council (Rocky Mountain Regional Council of the ECC) is looking for people who have web design skills and would be interested in being our regional webmaster (or a member of a web team).
We will research user-friendly platforms that would meet our needs, but want input from those who would like to collaborate in this public ministry of the church.
It would also serve as a communications hub - with photos and write-ups about our community celebrations, outreach programs and advocacy opportunities. We can also host a regional events calendar, conversations with Bishop Kae, special announcements and media releases, and an archive of important regional documents.

Pandemic Recovery Survey - City of Fort Collins
Please complete before October 31, 20201
|
|
The city of Fort Collins is asking our church community to participate in a survey to help shape the recovery efforts, and have offered a donation to our ministry efforts for participation. Please take a few minutes to complete this request.
“The pandemic has brought serious challenges to our community, often worsening existing issues. As we shift toward recovery, we know we cannot return to the pre-pandemic status quo, and must focus on a recovery that benefits all.
The City of Fort Collins is working to create a long-term Recovery Plan. As we develop the Recovery Plan, we want to hear your ideas about what a vibrant and resilient recovery looks like for our community and what priorities we should focus on as we work to build back stronger.
Whether you have one minute or 5 minutes, we want to hear from you."
