St. Mary Magdalene Parish

Changes to our schedule

Hi All,

Just a few quick reminders about the upcoming weeks' schedule at St. Mary Magdalene's.

1. Sunday Services:  It has been brought to my attention that 10:30AM is just way too early in the morning so upon recommendations and vote the time was moved to 1PM.  Hopefully everybody will find this to be a much more amenable time.  Everybody is welcome and communion is open but not compulsory meaning that you are welcome to take communion but you certainly should not feel pushed towards it in any way.

2. Meditation Classes: Apparently, there is a scheduling conflict with Tuesdays so we are running the mediation sessions on the second Wednesday of the month and keeping our monthly Study Group & discussion sessions on the fourth Wednesday of the month.  Both of these will be at 6PM.  As for the Study Group, we have switched the topic of discussion and are starting the Secret Book (Apocryphon) of John.

I understand that until we really work the kinks out of schedule it will be a little difficult to follow.  You are welcome to email me directly with any questions or we keep both the www.meetup.com calendar (http://www.meetup.com/Colorado-Gnostic/) and also the church's web page (http://www.ajcmagdalene.org) up to date with the most current schedules so hopefully this will help and the actual schedule will settle shortly.

Thank you all for your continued support with this church and I look forward to speaking with everybody.

Yours Before The Sacred Flame,

Rev. Deacon Jeremiah "Bray" Weaver

New Schedule of Happenings

Hi All,

 St. Mary of Magdalene's Parish is holding a lot of activity in the coming weeks and more in the coming months.  Many of the things that we have listed are in response to the growing community and services that were requested by them so that is very exciting.

 1. SERVICES: St. Mary's is now offering a weekly communion service on Sundays at 10:30AM all are welcome and communion is open to everybody that wants to partake.

 2. DISCUSSIONS: While always lively our discussion we are going to continue these sessions as a part of our ongoing commitment to education.  These will continue on the fourth Wednesday of every month with the next one taking place on the 25th of august at 6PM.  Again all are welcome.  Because of the time in the evening that this is taking place we will expand it to a pot luck session so please feel free to bring something for the group.

 3. MEDITATION GROUP:  In an effort to expand praxis we are starting a meditation group that will be exploring various forms of meditation and prayer from contemplative to guided.  This group has been scheduled for the second Tuesday of every month with the first one starting on Tuesday September 14th.

 4. CLASSES:   We are also in the process of developing and bringing in teachers and instructors to teach classes on various subjects.  From Ancient Christianity to esoteric concepts and relationship building to dream work.  So be on the lookout for these to be trickling in over the coming months.

5. CHOIR: We have wonderful music that has been composed specifically for our liturgy and we have found a Choir Mistress who has offered to help put together a group to sing the liturgies as well as other songs that she grew up with and enjoyed singing during her experiences in Choir.  This is in the very beginning stages but we are putting it out there anyway as it would be nice to start building this group.

 Again thank you all for your continued support and encouragement I hope that something is able to be built here that will really help to support the community and promote a more personal spiritual growth for everybody.
