Please join us on Sept. 5th to hike Crag Crest,
up on the Grand Mesa! We’ll meet at the
church at 8:00 am to carpool up, but since there
are some who want to hike the full loop and
others who prefer to go up and back down
without walking the actual Crest, please sign up in the gathering space
with your preference indicated. This is considered a hard trail and is at least 10,000 ft altitude to
start. Elevation gain is about 1500 ft for the full, 11-mile loop with an estimate of 5-6 hours to
complete. The hike to the overlook is still over 1000 ft elevation gain, but maybe 5-6 miles for up
and down. Given the altitude, please come prepared for multiple weather options, plenty of
water and snacks. For questions, please contact Cathy Donahoe, 970-208-2925
or cathyd@turbonet.com.

Sunday, August 23rd: A Discussion of Magnifica
Humanitas. Addressed to "all Christians and to all men and women of
goodwill", Pope Leo XIV's recent pastoral letter Magnifica Humanitas
(The Greatness of Humanity) is not so much about artificial intelligence
and technology as it is a profound reflection on what it means to be
human in an age increasingly shaped by machines and algorithms. Leo argues that the human
person must always remain the measure of technology and not the other way around. Join us at
9:00 for what should be an interesting discussion of the proliferation of social media, the rise of
AI, and how our lives are affected by modern technology. A brief summary of the encyclical will
be provided. All are welcome.
There will be no Clergy Coffee Hour on August 30th & September 6th (Labor Day weekend)
but will resume on September 13th.

Sunday, August 9th. Death & Dying: the Christian Perspective. Contrary to popular notion, death doesn't take place in an instant but is really part of a natural process that includes aging and the gradual weakening of our bodies. Growing old can also be a meaningful and even fruitful stage of life. On Sunday, August 9th you are invited to join Mother Jan and Father Emil at 9:00 for what should be an interesting and hope-filled discussion of death and dying from a Christian perspective. Everyone is welcome.

Join us for a few hours to enjoy our beautiful Grand Mesa with our St. Matt's family and friends. Saturday, July 11th we’ll meet at the church at 10:30 to carpool up to the Glacier Springs picnic area. This is near the Mesa Lodge from the Jumbo entrance. The rough plan is to picnic from 11:30 – 1:00 and then those interested in a hike will head out from there for 1-2 hours, others might do some fishing in one of the lakes, others might look for wildflowers, others might read in the great outdoors, others might simply enjoy the beauty of the area by visiting with friends at the picnic area…. Please bring your own chairs, food, drink, bug spray, sunscreen, and appropriate layers of clothing for the altitude. There is an $8 fee per vehicle that parks at the picnic area, but we can shuttle people and supplies from a parking lot near Jumbo Lake that is free. If you have any questions, you can ask Cathy Donahoe or Teri Shecter. Organized by your friends in Creation Care and St. Matts Outdoor Fellowship (SMOF).
The influence of Saint Benedict of Nursia (480-547 CE) and his Rule on Christian spirituality is difficult to overstate. Few texts outside Scripture itself have shaped the devotional, moral, intellectual, and communal life of Western Christianity so deeply or so enduringly. Benedict’s genius lay not in theological originality, but in spiritual wisdom: he created a form of life in which ordinary human beings could steadily grow into holiness through prayer, stability, humility, work, and community.
You are invited to join Fr. Emil for a morning with St. Benedict on Saturday, July 11th, the Feast of St. Benedict. The morning will feature prayer, a brief overview of Benedict’s life and time, and an introduction to Benedictine spirituality. Copies of Foundations of Benedictine Spirituality: A Practical Guide to Stability, Prayer, and the Ordinary Sacred, an easy-to-read guide, will be available for prayerful meditation by participants. For those unable to attend, Coffee Hour at 9:00 on Sunday, August 2nd, will offer a shortened presentation. Everyone is welcome at one or both. Registration in advance to sarum99@gmail.com is appreciated for the Saturday session.
