FCMF: Authentic, Compassionate, and Inclusive!Here at Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship (FCMF), we practice the "radical inclusivity" of Jesus. This means working with, having compassion for, and getting to know people who, as Jesus said, are the “least of us” and are often on the margins of society.
Whether it’s welcoming sexual and gender minorities in to our community, hosting homeless families in the Faith Family Hospitality program, helping immigrants, or working for a healthcare system that benefits all, we try to walk in the footsteps of Jesus as best we can. We use our hands to do God's work, focusing on issues of social justice, peace, and helping those in need. |

July 2, 2017: "Blessed are the Pure in Heart"
This Sunday, our conversation around the breakfast table will focus on the Beatitude: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.."
(Matthew 5:8) This Beatitude is sometimes interpreted as "blessed are those whose hearts become whole." Join Annie Scott as she leads us in a discussion of this important Beatitude. “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” — Martin Luther King, Jr. 
Compassionate Solutions for Homelessness Needed!
We take our cue from Jesus’ statement: "What you do to the least of us, you do to me." We need to keep pressure on City Council to look at long-term, compassionate solutions to the presence of more and more homeless in Fort Collins. The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) currently uses public monies to provide grants to fund organizations who are doing things to improve the "vibrancy" of our downtown area. Consider contacting City Council and asking them if it's possible to use DDA grants to fund projects that will actually help the homeless, such as day shelters, large lockers, additional night-time shelter beds, and more public bathrooms. Keep on writing, keep on calling, and keep on talking! Share your ideas with City Council members at: cityleaders@fcgov.com We're Published Again! An in-depth article about our involvement with the Faith Family Hospitality program just appeared in the April online issue of The Mennonite, a print and online publication of Mennonite Church USA. It provides an excellent forum for the voices withing the denomination. Click to read the article: Eradicating homelessness ... one family at a time |
Worship 'Round The Table is Here!
We begin our summer Worship 'Round the Table series on June 25. Each Sunday, we will meet around tables in the sanctuary to share breakfast and discuss one Beatitude. We will be taking our inspiration on these simple guides for living from Cynthia Bourgeault's series on the Beatitudes: https://cac.org/beatitudes-weekly-summary-2017-04-22/ Steve is on Sabbatical

Stop the Haters …
Spread the Love! It seems we are constantly bombarded by hate-filled messages from the media and from the Administration. Every day it seems someone or something is under attack: the earth, wildlife, women, minorities, immigrants, the poor … the list goes on and on. What can we do? We can do our part – whatever we define that to be -- whatever thoughts, words, and actions resist hate, nurture others, and take care of ourselves. One way to do this is with physical signs that everyone can see. Signs that say, “I am NOT a hater” – signs that remind people that we are all connected. Put the signs up in a prominent place for ALL to see. Here are two great signs and HOW to get them: Welcome Sign
Buy one from our church. The suggested donation is $7 to $10. Contact Pastor Steve at: stevemramer@yahoo.com
