Fall 2025 Edition: “Outreach as an Offering”
Screenshot
In the spirit of giving, we recognize that outreach is more than just an act of charity—it is a sacred offering, a way we extend God’s love and grace into the world. When we serve others, we are offering ourselves to God, reflecting His boundless compassion and mercy. Whether it’s through feeding the hungry, comforting the lonely, or standing in solidarity with the marginalized, our outreach efforts are acts of worship that transform both those who give and those who receive. As the Apostle Paul reminds us: u0022Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.u0022 (Romans 12:1, NRSV). This edition of The Colorado Episcopalian invites us to explore how our outreach becomes an offering, embodying the love and generosity of Christ. Let us come together as a community, offering our time, talents, and resources to build a more just and loving world.

Our work to heal a hurting world is guided by the principles of compassion, dignity and generosity. We take our mandate from the words of Jesus, found in Matthew 25.
Called “chrysostomos” in Greek which means “golden-mouthed,” John was one of the greatest preachers in the history of the Church. People flocked to hear him and his sermons provide insights into the liturgy of the Church. He describes the liturgy as a glorious experience, in which all of heaven and earth join and emphasized the importance of lay participation in the Eucharist.
Born about 354 in Antioch, Syria, as a young man, John responded to the call of desert monasticism until his health was impaired. He returned to Antioch and was later ordained. He became Patriarch of Constantinople in 397.
His episcopate was short and tumultuous. Many criticized his ascetic life, including the Empress Eudoxia. He was twice exiled, and he died during the second period of banishment, on September 14, 407. Thirty-one years later, his remains were taken to Constantinople, and buried on January 27.
We continue to live into God’s call for us finding inspiration from John Chrysostom as pertinent today as 1,600 years ago: we strive to be good stewards of God’s creation, not to live extravagantly, we emphasize the importance of the laity in worship and we find our identity as a worshiping Eucharistic community.
