Celebrating the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - November 19th, 12:30 pm

When we drop fear,

we can draw nearer to people, we can

draw nearer to the Earth, we can draw

nearer to all the heavenly creatures that

surround us. - Bell Hooks

Weekly Monday Morning Peace Prayer

Peace reaches deep into our psyche to heal and renew. It radiates from the deepest place within us. While it seems that all creation and institutional bodies are in chaos, Jesus still calls us to the Peace of Christ (John 20.21). It is that Peace within us that radiates outward.

“Where two or more are gathered, there I am in your midst”

(Matt 18:19-20).

If you have the inclination and 20 minutes, please join us in prayer Pray with us for peace in the world and within ourselves.

301 Faith Partners' Announcements

Turkey Round Up is Here

The Annual "Turkey Round Up" has begun - we plan to collect turkeys for the Food Bank for Larimer County. --> SUNDAY, November 19! <--- The

Turkey Truck will be in the drive-up circle between

8:30 and 12:30

And please remember, only rock-hard frozen turkeys can be donated - if you are able to squeeze your turkey even a little bit, it is no longer frozen, and it will not be safe to donate.

The Turkey Roundup can be an all-of-A sudden activity where several turkeys arrive at the Turkey Truck all at once. That used to be ok, but now it is best if each person donating can inform us how much your turkey(s) weighs and has a good expiration date! (No pun intended!)

Give Thanks by Giving.

Volunteering at Irish Elementary

Volunteering has begun again at Irish Elementary Escuela Bilingue. Volunteers meet with students once per week to listen to them read in English. Knowledge of Spanish is not necessary. Currently there are 6 volunteers but there is a need for more volunteers - especially on Tuesday mornings. Other volunteer times are Tuesday afternoons, and also on Wednesdays. Contact Mary Raich for more information at maryraich41@gmail.com.

Ongoing Faith Partners Groups

The Trinity Readers

The Trinity Readers will read a mystery this month and will discuss it on Monday, December 4 at 9:30 am. British author Richard Osman in The Thursday Murder Club writes about a group of residents in a senior community in England who gather weekly to try to solve cold cases -- and then they find themselves in the middle of a real one! As well as being a “whodunit,” it is a book filled with humor and commentary about aging. Join us in person in Room 2 in the east wing or on Zoom HERE!

301 Faith Partners Prayer Group

On the last Monday of each month at 10:30 am, the 301 Faith Partners Prayer Group meets to pray for the 301 Faith Partners! The group opens by calling on the Holy Spirit to be present. They then take one of the Core Values of the 301 Faith Partners and reflect on it. Following this, they engage in Lectio Divina and then share their reflections. They pray for the clergy of Mary of Magdala, St. Paul’s, and Trinity, and the leadership bodies of all three congregations. And they close with a Litany of God’s Mission for the 301 Faith Partners, which was first prayed at the Bishops’ Blessing on May 31, 2023. 

Contact Pat with any questions.

Quilting Group

We meet each Friday at 10 am. All are welcome to come—any gender, any age, no experience is required. Come if you can only attend every other week or once a month. Bring a helping heart and your favorite coffee mug or water bottle

Faith Partners Fellowship Group

Every Second Thursday

The Faith Partners Fellowship Group is every second Thursday of the month.

Watch for the announcement on where they will meet next.

301 Faith Partners is all inclusive, and men, women, transfolx and non-binary folx are all welcome.

Chapter 2 Book Group

Chapter 2 Trinity Readers will be meeting on Thursday, November 30th at 6pm in Room 2. We will be discussing the book Apeirogon by Colum McCann. The book is centered on the true story of the friendship between Rami Elhanan, an Israeli, and Bassam Aramin, a Palestinian, who have both lost their daughters to violence. The two men come together, across the animosity and violence of their respective home nations, over a shared desire to spread a message of education, understanding, and the end of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

A very timely subject matter- it should be an very interesting discussion. Everyone is welcome. Come once or every month. Bring a friend.

Email Adrianne Jurgenson with any questions.

Here is the activity schedule for all that is happening with the 301 FP. Thanks to our Joint Eco and Social Justice Ministry for compiling.
