Sunday, October 25th, Father Steve kicks off our Newcomer Class with Episcopal Identity: What does it mean to be a Christian and an Episcopalian? Surely there’s more to it than good liturgy and knowing which fork to use. Newcomers, old-timers, and the faithfully confused are welcome.
Men’s Bible Study - At Four Winds Coffee. Mondays at 8:00 AM. Starting your week with fellowship, prayer, and mutually led Bible study can make it satisfying. All men, well-studied or not, are invited! Four Winds is located at 1235 Bookcliff Ave.
Curious about the Bible—including the parts that make you stop and say, “Wait, what?” Join us Tuesdays from 10–11 a.m., beginning October 13. We’ll begin the first week with “What Is the Bible?” and then in the weeks following we will explore texts of terror: troubling passages from both the Old and New Testaments, and how we might read them faithfully today. All are welcome!
Our Wednesday Eucharist service will last approximately 30 minutes. All are welcome to attend.
This discussion group, led by Lyn Fraser and Reenie Neal, will use psalms, other poetry, hymns, and parables to consider aging as a spiritual journey. Our journeys may encompass enormous losses over time but also offer the potential for gains that may surprise us. With the support of spiritual resources, we will explore the physical, mental, and emotional impacts of aging for us and our loved ones, including our beliefs and perspectives on death and dying. In the process, we will also consider the possible ways in which we can experience beneficial growth and change, especially in our spiritual lives and beliefs. For questions, lynfraser7@gmail.com.
It is open to anyone wanting to share a contemplative prayer experience with fellow seekers. After a brief reading to focus our minds, we sit in silence for 20 minutes, take a brief break to stretch and walk about, then sit for another 20 minutes of silence. This format is conducive to any form of contemplative prayer or meditation you choose to practice.
Contemplative prayer is a time of resting silently in the presence of God. Teresa of Avila describes it as taking time to be alone with the One we know loves us. It is a deepening relationship with the Divine where spoken words fade into silent communion.
Centering Prayer, in which you observe thoughts and let them pass by in order to welcome God’s presence, is only one method of contemplative prayer.
Many Centering Prayer groups engage in a time of discussion and learning after our “sits.” At St. Matthew’s we’re currently discussing St. John of the Cross’s Dark Night of the Soul as presented in a podcast from James Finley. If you would like to receive links to each week’s podcast, contact Richard Morgan (richard.morgan@yahoo.com).
Following the podcasts is not necessary, nor is staying for the entire time. Occasionally someone will need to come in after our silence begins—there are always empty chairs you can slip into.

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.
