All are invited to attend the Synod Mass on Sunday October 13th at 9am in Hyde Chapel at the YMCA of the Rockies Camp in Estes Park.  (You do not need to pay the synod daily registration fee in order to attend this Mass in person or remotely.)

Bishop Paul is the presider and Deacon Besem Oben Etchi, PhD will be the homilist and keynote speaker.  

The Mass will be broadcast on YouTube and will be THE Sunday morning Mass for the entire ECC. Those who live in Colorado, even if you are doing nothing else at Synod, are invited to join in person. Take a drive up to Estes Park, meet others in the ECC from around the nation, make a joyful noise praising God, and join in the worship of Mass like no other. Kids and young people are especially welcome.

RSVP for This Year's Oktoberfest!

On Saturday, October 5 from 6:30-8:30 pm the 301 Faith Partners will be hosting an Oktoberfest themed fundraiser for Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity to help them reach their goal of $200,000 to support this year’s Common Ground Faith Build. Our goal towards this is $5,000.

The 301 Faith Partners are looking forward to inviting our friends from Spirit Of Joy, Our Saviour's Lutheran, and Shepherd of the Hills to join us in this fun event! Our celebration will include beer, brats, potato salad, and all the best of Oktoberfest.

The two families that are building their homes alongside the Faith Builders this year will also be present at the celebration. Don't forget to bring your favorite Stein to drink from, and just in case, bring your growlers to fill up if there is any beer leftover.

Together we can share faith, fellowship, help our neighbors,

and have fun! EIN PROST! 

To adequately prepare and because of room capacity, RSVP’s are requested by September 28. To RSVP click HERE.

Mary Magdalene Society at Work

Over the next few months Mother Tammy Fuqua with the Mary Magdalene Society Advisory Committee will bring us interviews with MMS grant recipients. These interviews will allow us to hear how the recipients will use the funds awarded to them by the society, and why these grants are so important to the future growth of the ECC. 

This month Mother Tammy interviewed Father Teri Harroun and Mary Lu Stenson from Light of Christ in Longmont, Colorado to talk about how their community benefited from receiving a grant for their youth group from the Mary Magdalene Society.

301 Faith Partners - Groups & Ministries

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 and leadership bodies of Mary of Magdala, St. Paul’s, and Trinity. 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.

The Trinity Readers

The Trinity Readers (the TLC morning book group) will meet this upcoming Monday, September 9th to discuss James McBride’s novel, “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store". Members of MOM and SPE are invited to join the discussion in person or on Zoom Link HERE. Questions? Call Nadine Hunt at 970-825-3730.

Chapter 2 Book Group

Too much of a good thing... the original Book Group needed to expand! Join us each month to discuss a book from a variety of both fiction and non-fiction books. Readers are welcome to attend each month or just when the book interests them. We will be meeting on the 4th Thursday of September at 6:00 pm in Room 2. We are currently reading “Tom Lake” by Ann Patchett and “Our Town” by Thornton Wilder. Email Maddie Fairfax with any questions.

Habitat for Humanity Build Date on September 28th!

Come help build: Our next Build Date is Saturday, September 28. Mark your calendars now!

It will likely be 7:45AM - 3:30PM, at the Harmony Cottages development at the SE corner of Harmony and Taft Hill Road, but the time and location (still in Fort Collins) might change. There is no

lasting commitment- you can come out once, or come volunteer many times. Absolutely no experience is needed, and guidance is given by Habitat’s friendly onsite staff. You’ll have a full, rewarding day working alongside future homeowners and volunteers from other local faith communities, and you’ll likely learn a lot. For more information or to get signed up, please email gray.currier@gmail.com or call or text Gray at (970) 962-4057. Preference is given to those who have not been out before.

Help build from a kitchen: Saturday, September 28th, is our 301 Faith Partnership’s turn to provide lunch to the onsite Build Crew. You and others from St Paul’s, Trinity, and Mary of Magdala put your heads together to plan, provide, and serve the lunch at the Build Site. Usually there are about twenty hungry folks to feed. Hint: frozen lasagna, a salad, and a desert always seem to be a hit, but come up with whatever you want! Contact Gray, as above, and he’ll put you in touch with whoever is leading this very much appreciated culinary effort.

Donate through St Paul’s Habitat Challenge: Just write a check to St Paul’s Episcopal, write “Habitat” on the memo line, and put it into your Sunday plate. Your gift will be doubled by St. Paul's Habitat Challenge Match. up to a total of $5,000 for 2024. It will be acknowledged as a tax-deductible contribution to St Paul’s on an end of year financial statement.

Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, community, and hope. There are so many ways to help… thanks so much for yours!

301 Quilters Update



The 301 Quilters stay busy making quilts from the donations given to us. We meet each Friday from 10-12 in Room 2. All are welcome and no experience is needed. We'll teach and guide through the quilt making process. Come be a part of this Faith Partner ministry.

Contact Pat with any questions.
