Announcements

Social and Annual Meeting

Yes, we are looking forward to our first

Social on May 15 after Mass

Our Social and Annual Meeting is set for May 15th immediately following our 5:00 pm Sunday Mass. This will be our first community social in a very long time and we hope all who can will attend. We will also conduct our annual business meeting. (In-person and on Zoom.)

A variety of food and drink will be available to all.

If you cannot attend the business meeting virtually or in-person, you can assign a PROXY to vote for three new leadership council members and to ratify the budget. Just print and complete this form and have a Mary of Magdala member present it at the meeting sign-in table. (How does a proxy work?)

Please be sure to review the Leadership Council nominee's messages via this Link.

How Does Our Garden Grow? With Volunteers!

If you have an interest in gardening and love fresh veggies, maybe you would enjoy helping at the 301 Faith Partners 2022 garden at our beautiful location on the south side of the campus by Spring Creek.

This garden was created in 2012 and has been producing every year except for a COVID pause in 2020. We do have a great group of volunteers, but could use some more help.

So, to share in another garden of plenty this upcoming season, contact Pam or Wally Jacobson at wjacobson5@comcast.net or call (970) 223-2276. Hope to hear from you! We start plantings soon.

Job Posting for Trinity Lutheran

Trinity is looking for a Financial Coordinator - a year-round, 20-25 hr. per week position handling bookkeeping and accounting and working with the Finance ministry. Here’s the job description.

From the 301 Faith Partners Joint Ecological Team (JET)

Many of us try our best to keep our unwanted items out of the landfill by selling or donating them. The next step is to become an eco-conscious shopper by (1) only buying items you really need and (2) buying used items if possible.

Here are some options for shopping pre-owned in Fort Collins!

Books and Music – visit used book stores and used book sales (Poudre Library District, Trinity Preschool). “Bizarre Bazaar” sells books, DVDs, CDs, LPs, and stereo equipment.

Used furniture and home decor can be found at Habitat for Humanity Home Store-Fort Collins and Loveland locations.

“Furniture Consignments by Kristynn” is another option.

Clothing – try “Repeat Boutique”, “Plato’s Closet”, “Clothes Mentor” or “Once Upon a Child”

Flea Markets and Antique malls are a great option – several are on 287 south of Fort Collins

· “Eco-Thrift” is a Fort Collins, community based, thrift store – money made from the sale of donations stays within the local economy.

Visit Garage Sales in your neighborhood and check out Facebook Marketplace

And many more options are out there!

“The Gearage” in downtown Fort Collins – sells used sports and outdoor gear

Please join the next Joint Ecological Team (JET) meeting on Tuesday, May 31, at 5:30 pm either via Zoom or in-person. The JET meets as needed to plan educational events, bike to work day, volunteer opportunities and advocacy. Zoom link will be posted soon.
