Prayer Request: Colorado Wildfires


Lord, we ask for your protection from the spreading wildfires across Colorado. We ask for the protection of those fighting in harm's way. We pray for those coordinating efforts in support and relief. Be with those besieged by fire, guide those who evacuate so that they may find care and comfort in a safe place; protect their homes and their pets, their neighbors and their friends, so that they may return home to a loving community.


We grieve for the loss of human life, animal life, plants, and trees, and the scarring of the earth. We are saddened for the original custodians of the land, the First Peoples of the land, and the poor and marginalized disproportionately affected by the fires. Turn our sadness into compassion. We ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son, who abides with you and with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Rector New Cell Phone


The Rector has added the following contact number:


(970) 409-7507


Although email, rector@stjohnsbreck.org, is always the preferred avenue of contact, by all means add this number to your rolodex for situations when talking or texting is just a better option. This cell will generally be powered off when the Rector isn’t on the clock, but she will monitor it periodically for emergencies.


The Rector may typically be reached:

  • Tuesday-Saturday 9am - 5pm
  • Sunday 8am - 1pm


She is off on Mondays, when she will neither send nor receive communications (but will check periodically for emergencies).

Contacting Vestry Members


The Vestry now has an email address, vestry@stjohnsbreck.org, which will be monitored by Senior Warden, Carol Goodwin.
