On Saturday, October 31 we will be celebrating All Saints Eve in the memorial garden.

We will light the area of the memorial with the luminaries and end that time in prayer. Everyone is invited to stay and watch Coco together. There will be candy bags for the kids (and kids at heart). We will have pre-packaged snacks available to eat during the movie. We have new patio heaters, but to make sure you dress warm enough and bring blankets as well.

301 Faith Partners will be working together again for the Annual Turkey Round Up on Sunday, November 22. More specifics to come closer to the event.

A number of Trinity people have signed up for a 5k walk/run to support Sky Ranch. There is a dollar for dollar matching grant. If you would like to support a Trinity participant click HERE and write Trinity–Fort Collins 5k in the memo line.

From 10/15/2020 3:00 pm:

According to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office report we know that that the Cameron Peak Fire made another aggressive run yesterday, October 14th, turning it into the largest fire in Colorado state history. At this point, we understand that no buildings at Sky Ranch have been harmed. A large section of unburnt forest on the north side of the property still leaves Sky Ranch at risk. Winds speeds on the fire are not as high today, but still pose the threat of spreading the fire further.

Thank you for you continued prayers and support!

After our Anti-racism conference, and our work as a body of Christ towards non-racism, here are a few video links that would be good for us to watch.

As people of faith, we follow Jesus to direct our days and deeds. We are a non-partisan church, and this guide is not telling us how to vote. However, it is helping us look at the measures from a faith perspective, with recommendations in accordance to our social statements as the ELCA. We will be looking at the ELCA Colorado Ballot Measures Voter Guide in Adult Forum. Click HERE to download.
