Most seemed to do rather well navigating the Zoom services during spring, and in the summer months with the switch to Facebook many still stayed connected. In spite to numerous technical challenges with cameras, cords, mics, etc. our special crew managed to keep us online even when facing these technology issues. With the Sunday outdoor services that started in June, we have been able to count on 70 to 90 plus participants weekly in spite of vacations, hot mornings and forest fire smoke. To date we have been blessed by rainless Sunday mornings. Plans have been considered to have our service inside; however, with the current Covid rules we will continue to meet outside on Sunday mornings. Please continue to bring your chairs and keep a good eye on the weather. PHOTO HAPPENINGS THANK YOU MAEDAS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL ALTAR FLOWERS! AN AUGUST SUNDAY MORNING IN THE FOREST FIRE SMOKE HAZE!

FROM OUR RECTOR CARING FOR OUR SOUL FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS As followers of Jesus, we are called to love God and our neighbor as yourself, but that is very hard to do when our souls are overwhelmed. We are continually being bombarded with information from every direction. The invention of the TV, radio, cell phone, tablet, and computer have made it possible for us to stay connected 24/7. Studies affirm that one's use of technology "directly relates to why so many people struggle with anxiety, depression, and envy," says John Eldredge. Part of the reason is that we continually see and hear about everything happening in our world. It is overwhelming for our heart, mind, and soul. The British anthropologist Robert Dunbar is known for his research in a human's cognitive ability to maintain healthy relationships. His research suggests that we're hardwired for a maximum of 150-200 connections. Before the invention of the radio, TV, phones, etc. humans primarily maintained the relationships in a small community of people. Dealing with the challenges 100-200 people face regularly is much different from continually processing the turmoil of our world. As finite beings, our souls are incapable of empathizing with all of the needs we hear about in our modern world. For the sake of our souls, and ultimately others, we need to discover ways to limit our exposure to information. Here are some soul care recommendations I recently heard in a leadership podcast: • Try to avoid looking at your phone before going to bed or after waking up. • Limit the amount of news you are watching, listening too, or reading daily. • Reconsider the number of people you are currently connected to on social media. • Create space to process life and pray at least a few times per day (e.g., set the alarm for 11 AM and 3 PM). As you pray, release the concerns you have, that you can do nothing about, over to Jesus. • Renew your mind by reading Scripture daily. Reading the Scriptures is also a great way to improve our relationship with God. • Ask your spouse or a close friend to provide you with some accountability. I hope and pray; this helps you implement some healthy rhythms into your life and increases your ability to love God and others. Grace, Peace, & Love, Rev. Jamie THURSDAY MORNINGS ON ZOOM For more than a decade a group of St Peter’s members have been gathering on Thursday mornings for study, prayer, fellowship and food. In the past the sessions were very early at the church building on County Road 30 for coffee and Silver Grill cinnamon rolls. After the move to Loveland the group decided to meet at a restaurant in south Fort Collins for food off the menu. With the advent of Covid-19 earlier this year the group, and desiring to be socially distance responsible, they switched their sessions online to Zoom. Current sessions are a Bible study approach to study the next Sunday’s Bible lessons through group discussion. Participants check into Zoom via the connection found on the church website. While there no longer are cinnamon rolls or an extensive menu to order from, everyone gets to have his/her favorite coffee and a home cooked breakfast. Join in every Thursday morning at 7:00AM. The group size is not limited and you don’t even have to live in Colorado! ST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM FEAST DAY IS SEPT 13TH Saint John Chrysostom was known as one of the finest preachers of the church, and with a significant number of his sermons still surviving to this day. He was reared by his widowed mother who saw that he obtained the best education of the day in oratory law. He became a monk; and while living in a mountainous cave, he developed health problems from the damp conditions. Returning to his home in Antioch he was ordained a deacon, and in 386 he was ordained a priest. Having developed a reputation for preaching, and his knowledge of the Epistles of Paul and the Gospels of Matthew, he was made a bishop’s special assistant. In the year 398 he was made Archbishop of Constantinople against his wishes. Others, not in favor of his selection as the patriarch and against his efforts to reform the church and society, conspired to depose him at the Synod of the Oak 403. Saint Chrysostom was exiled by The Empress Eudoxia after he was accused of calling her “Jezebel”. He was recalled from exile when an earthquake struck Constantinople terrifying the empress. On his return he resumed his “plain speaking”, and again was exiled to first Cucusus in Armenia and then to Pontus. Forced to travel in bad weather and on foot while completely exhausted, Saint John Chrysostom died on September 14, 404. Thirty-one years later his body was returned to Constantinople and buried in the Church of the Apostles. His feast day is celebrated on September 13th. When Anglicans celebrate Morning Prayer he is remembered with the recitation of A Prayer of St. Chrysostom. NEW CHRISTMAS STAMP TO BE ISSUED Serving Our Lord in Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor and Greeley - Colorado The United States Postal Service announced in late July that a new traditional Christmas stamp would be issued late in the fall. This Christmas stamp features a detail of the painting “Our Lady of Guápulo.” Painted in the 18th century by an unknown artist in Cuzco, Peru, “Our Lady of Guápulo” is from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Enrobed in a pyramidal gown speckled with jewels and holding a scepter woven with roses and leaves, a crowned Virgin Mary looks down at a similarly adorned Christ Child in her left arm. USPS Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp. No date for the stamp’s release has been announced by the postal service. PARISH EMPLOYEES HAVE NEW EMAIL ADDRESSES JAMIE GEORGE, RECTOR: [email protected] AMANDA SMITH, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT: [email protected] EMILY MAEDA, MUSIC DIR: [email protected] SAINTS A PLENTY IN SEPTEMBER The Avenel Dictionary of Saints by Donald Attwater tells us that the English word “saint” is from the Latin word Santus. This word in turn represents the Greek word hagios, as well as the Hebrew word qâdosh. These three words were used to designate special people, things and God to set them apart for a sacred purpose or position and to make them Holy. In general terms, they were made Holy to God. Attwater says, “Holiness as sacredness, as a state of dedication to God’s service, is illustrated by the earliest Christian use of the noun ‘saint’. The virtue, the doing of good and avoidance of evil, required of them is a consequence of their state of sanctity, of their having been called to God’s service: they have to live ‘as becometh saints’. The following are listed as saint feast days for the month of September: Sept 1 – Saints Fiacre and Giles Sept 2 – Saints Brocard and Stephen of Hungary Sept 3 – Saints Cuthburga and Pius X Sept 4 – Saint Marinus of San Marino Sept 5 – Saints Bertin, Lawrence Giustinniani, Teresa of Calcutta Sept 6 – Saint Cagnoald Sept 7 – Saints Cloud and Evurtius Sept 8 – Saint Adrian Sept 9 Saints Ciaran of Clonmacnois, Isaac the Great, Joseph of – Volokolamsk, Omer and Peter Claver Sept 10 – Saints Aubert of Avranbches, Finnian of Moville, Nicholas of Tolentine and Pulcheria Sept 11 – Saints Deiniol, Paphnutius, Protus and Hyacinth Sept 12 – Saint Guy of Anderlecht Sept 13 - Saint Eulogius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom and Notburga Sept 15 - Katherine of Genoa, Nicetas

    Praying for Each Other A Guide to Praying for our Diocese, Congregations, and Clergy 2021 Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Is 30:18,19 Dear People of the Diocese: Here we are, many months into the “perfect storm” of 2020, with 2021 on the horizon. We find ourselves shaken, but being shaken by circumstances is not the last word! We are also stirred up to mission. As the writer of Hebrews puts it, “Let us consider how to stir one another up to love and good works” (Heb. 10:24). So how do we stir one another up and move forward? Here are the key objectives I (along with Diocesan Staff) will be working on in 2021: Assist congregational leaders from every congregation in recruiting and training teams of intercessors that are networked in the Diocese for strategic prayer that results in spiritual breakthroughs, with signs and wonders. One aspect of this will be 30-minute intercession calls on Monday and Thursday mornings with me (whenever possible). Recruit, train, deploy, and support godly, healthy, and mature clergy who are able to preach, teach, and lead effectively. Assess, revitalize, network, resource, and support congregations for transformative discipleship, for fruitful, gift-based ministry, and for bold proclamation of the Gospel by every member of the Body.

The museum acquired the panels in 1947 without knowledge they had been stolen. The two panels formed part of a sixteen-panel altarpiece that enclosed an effigy of the saint. They were painted by the Abruzzese Master of Castelvecchio Subequo, who was active in the region in the late 14th century. The panels composed a visual sixteen-part narrative of the life of Saint Eustace, a Roman general named Placidus, who converted to Christianity when he saw the apparition of Christ in the horns of a stag while he was hunting. Placidus died a Christian martyr by order of the Emperor Hadrian (76–138 AD). Campo di Giove declared St. Eustace their patron saint because popular legend accounted that his apparition of the miraculous stag occurred in the mountains of Abruzzo and neighboring region of Lazio. Pope Clement III dedicated the church at Campo di Giove to Saint Eustace on April 7, 1188. The museum’s panels, painted in tempera and each measuring 25 x 13 ¾ inches, depict the Conversion of Saint Eustace and the Flight of Saint Eustace from a Plague Ridden City.

We are very excited that you have chosen to prepare to receive this sacrament! We pray this time of preparation will be a time of spiritual growth as well as a lot of fun. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “Preparation for confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit…To this end, catechesis [preparation] for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community.” (CCC 1309) Our goal is to be true to this statement of preparation for Confirmation, as our meetings will not cover everything there is to know about the Catholic Church. Instead it is our goal to build upon what you have been learning from your parents, through involvement with religious education throughout your life, and through the high school ministry here at St.
