Our Next 301 Faith Partners

Worship Service

Sunday, June 29, 10:30am

No 12:30 Mass

At 9:00 am join us at the Shared Adult Forum: 

The topic will be “An Introduction to Our Inner Pilgrimage.” Peter Musnon was in a learning group for seven years, led by Julie Colwell, a PhD psychologist, author, and resident of Boulder. Based on the book Power vs. Force, by David Hawkins, M.D., Julie developed the concept of the Inner Map. It is a powerful tool for becoming more aware of whether we are in “reactive brain” or “creative brain.”

This awareness, and learning how to shift from reactive brain to creative brain, can be a huge help in navigating our relationships with others. Come learn about and experience the Inner Map model.

At 10:30 am we will celebrate Eucharist with all three congregations.

No 12:30 Mass

Around noon we’ll have a potluck picnic in the Fellowship Hall. Bring some picnic food to share. Come and join in the fellowship!

We will use a different Zoom link for the Adult Forum and Shared Service:

301 Faith Partners is going to help provide breakfast for the Adelante youth on Friday, June 27.

For those who are wondering what Adelante is, Adelante is an eight-week summer fellowship offered by ISAAC of Northern Colorado that places low income youth in organizations and businesses so that each Fellow has a hands-on experience that allows them to build leadership skills.

Adelante offers wrap-around support for each Fellow that includes transportation and meal expenses, emotional/mental health support, a culturally appropriate peer-learning curriculum that includes field trips.

We need your help at the breakfast

Here is the sign up genius if you can help provide breakfast for these youth. Please drop the food of at Trinity by Thursday, June 26 BY 3 pm. Another group of volunteers will take it to Plymouth on Friday morning.

For questions email Lisa Jones at marymagdalafc@gmail.com

Social Justice Reflection

By David Cloyd

Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who, in her teens, helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition in achieving their chartered mission objectives by exploring the Louisiana Territory. Sacagawea traveled with the expedition thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean, helping to establish cultural contacts with Indiginous peoples and contributing to the expedition's knowledge of natural history in different regions.

The National American Woman Suffrage Association of the early 20th century adopted Sacagawea as a symbol of women's worth and independence, erecting several statues and plaques in her memory, and doing much to recount her accomplishments.

In 1800, when she was about 12 years old, Sacagawea and several other children were taken captive by a group of Hidatsa in a raid that resulted in the deaths of several Shoshone. She was held captive at a Hidatsa village near present-day Washburn, North Dakota.

At about age 13, she was sold into a non-consensual marriage to Toussaint Charbonneau, a Quebecois trapper. He had also bought another young Shoshone girl, known as Otter Woman, for a wife. Charbonneau was variously reported to have purchased both girls from the Hidatsa, or to have won Sacagawea while gambling.

In 1804, the Corps of Discovery reached a Mandan village, where Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark built Fort Mandan for wintering over in 1804-05. They interviewed several trappers who might be able to interpret or guide the expedition up the Missouri River in the springtime. Knowing they would need to communicate with the tribal nations who lived at the headwaters of the Missouri River, they agreed to hire Toussaint Charbonneau in early winter of 1804, who claimed to speak several Native languages, and one of his wives, who spoke Shoshone. Sacagawea was pregnant with her first child at the time.

Charbonneau and Sacagawea moved into the expedition's fort a week later. Clark later nicknamed her "Janey". Lewis observed her activities as part of his ethnographic report on Native people. She and her family traveled mostly in the co-captain's company, ate near or with them, and shared the same tent. Lewis recorded the birth of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805

On May 14, 1805, Sacagawea rescued items that had fallen out of a capsized boat, including the journals and records of Lewis and Clark. The corps commanders who praised her quick action, named the Sacagawea River in her honor on May 20, 1805.

While Sacagawea has been depicted as a guide for the expedition, she is recorded as providing direction in only a few instances, primarily in present-day Montana. Her work as a guide revolved around her geographical insight and as an interpreter. Her work as an interpreter helped the party to negotiate with the Shoshone. But, she also had significant value to the mission simply by her presence on the journey, as having a woman and infant accompany them demonstrated the peaceful intent of the expedition

Sacagawea was mentioned 108 times in the combined Lewis and Clark journals.
