Where did the year go?

This Sunday we will gather for our annual parish meeting. Once again, we will look back and recount God's goodness to us in over the course of the past year.

I want to encourage you to look back over the year gone by and reflect on the challenges you have faced as well as the blessings that you have experienced. Where have you seen the grace of God at work in your life. What is something you hope for in the year ahead?

How have we been challenged and blessed here at St. John’s and Cranmer Chapel? Where have we seen God’s grace at work in our corporate life? What is your hope for us in the coming year?

I hope that you will take time this weekend to join us for worship as well as our annual meeting. Yes, we will take a look at the year gone by...and we will also look forward with hope to the year ahead!

Blessings,

Matthew+

Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to thee, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated unto thee; and then use us, we pray thee, as thou wilt, and always to thy glory and the welfare of thy people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. (BCP p.832)

News from the Northwest Region

Greetings friends,

The treasurer for the Northwest Region, Dr. Jan Johnson, has submitted the final tally for giving and grants for 2021.  The churches* in our region provided a most generous total of $77,328.06 for the year.  As a result, $55,000 in grants were awarded to congregations in the region as well as for support of Cathedral Ridge, the diocesan camp and conference center.  

We have much to be grateful for, especially during these unusual times with the ongoing pandemic.  Your congregations can take pride in the ministry they are helping to support!  Together, we can do a great deal to advance God’s mission here in Northwest Colorado. 

Although this news doesn’t fall under the 2021 calendar, the Executive Committee for the Northwest Region also approved a total of $15,000 in January 2022 toward relief and recovery efforts related to the Marshall fire.  We have been blessed and wish to share these blessings with those who have lost so much.  The five Episcopal churches surrounding the fire area have expressed their appreciation for our support.  

Please share this information with your congregation. Our faithful stewards deserve to know how these funds are being utilized.  

Best,

Nancy Kinney

Missioner, Northwest Region
