Men’s Bible Study - Mondays at 7:30 AM. Starting your week off with fellowship, prayer and, mutually-led Bible study can make for a satisfying week. All men, well-studied or not, are invited!

Sundays, January 25th thru February 8th - What Does Being "Anglican" Mean? The Anglican Communion continues to be rocked by issues related to gender identity, of suitability for ordination, and of what it means to be Anglican. The recent election of Sarah Mullaly as the new Archbishop of Canterbury and her confirmation as Archbishop on January 28th have been met with threats of division by some churches of the Communion's Global South and the breakaway Anglican Church of North America, which struggles with crises and scandals of its own. Is there anything that unites us? All of this raises the question "What does being Anglcan mean?" Do the struggles of our history reveal anything about what might be called an Anglican ethos? If so, what are its characteristics? Join us at 9:00 on three successive Sundays, January 25th thru February 8th as we explore our Anglican history, our struggles, and the spirituality that shapes our unique identity within Christendom. Everyone is welcome.

Centering Prayer will be hosted by Richard Morgan and led by Dr. Dee Jaquet of Contemplative Outreach of the Western Slope. All are invited.

 We do two "sits" of centering prayer with a stretch break and then discussion.

Our church will be undergoing construction in October. Please get in touch with the host to confirm which room the meeting will be held in.

Thursdays 9:30 to 11 January 15, January 22, January 29, February 5. Co-Facilitators: Lyn Fraser and Reenie Neal. The parables push us to look at spiritual issues and questions in new ways, upending our sense of the ordinary to reach our own understandings of spiritual, moral, and ethical issues. In these difficult, challenging, and conflicted times, we will attempt to learn more about ourselves, our separation from and reconnection with God, and how to live with justice and in community with one another and our world. The discussion-oriented class will concentrate on the parables of Jesus, but we also consider parables from the Old Testament and cultural traditions. Each session stands on its own, so you are welcome to come to all of them or just the ones that fit your schedule. No pre-registration required, but if you have questions contact Lyn at lynfraser7@gmail.com.

Our Wednesday Eucharist service will last approximately 30 minutes. All are welcome to attend.

Join us as we begin a new year with two new offerings to start 2026. The Joy of Epiphany & the Great Epiphany Proclamation will be our topic on Sunday, January 4th. As Lent will begin soon (Ash Wednesday is on February 18th) on Sunday, January 11th, Coffee Hour will preview a possible study for Lent. You will be introduced to Brother Lawrence and hear of his very practical way of deepening your relationship with God. Your feedback will be important as we pursue a Lenten study that can be used by anyone at any time. All are welcome!

The Prophetic Voice in Christmas:  As we move into Advent, our scriptures are filled with voices crying out from centuries before Jesus’ birth. The ancient prophets—Isaiah, Micah, Jeremiah, and others—are woven directly into the Christmas story. Their words shape the hopes of Mary and Joseph, echo through the songs of angels, and prepare us for a Messiah who comes not with force, but with justice, mercy, and peace. Join us as we explore how these prophetic voices speak into the heart of Christmas—how they challenge, comfort, and call us to see the world as God intends it to be. Please note: This is a change from our usual Tuesday gathering.  Due to scheduling conflicts in December, we will meet on Wednesday mornings instead. All are welcome. Bring your Bible, your questions, and your Advent hope.
