Holy Happy Hour
Holy Happy Hour
When: 2nd and 4th Monday of the month 5:30-7:00 P.M
Where: Vatos Tacos + Tequila 270 N Cleveland Ave Loveland, CO 80537
It’s a wonderful way to be in a community with old friends and make some new ones from the comfort of your home. There are long time participants and several new folks wanting more connection with one another. Snacks and beverages of preference are optional and of course “byo.”
HHH an adult fellowship ministry distantly modeled on the Wesleyan small groups. They met weekly and simply share around the theme of “How is it with your soul?” Or “What’s on your mind today? Or “What’s saving you today?” In that spirit, they covenant to make no judgments and what happens there stays there.

All are always welcome.
Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is a method of meditation that creates space to simply sit in the presence of God, cultivating a deeper relationship with God. For more information about this practice, see the Introduction to Centering Prayer video below.
FUMC holds weekly gatherings for people to learn how to “do” centering prayer, discuss how their practice is going, and then share in a 20-minute “sit”, or meditation time. These gatherings meet on Wednesdays at noon and last 30-45 minutes. The first 10 minutes are devoted to instruction for beginners, but all are welcome at any time. There is no commitment. Questions? Contact Pastor Lee at lee@fumcloveland.com.
During specific seasons of the church year, such as Lent and Advent, or other special times, you will find weekly videos posted here too. These videos give a short devotion or prompt, then open the meditation time for you to do on your own.
Pastor Lee also recommends these additional resources:
Contemplative Outreach of Colorado has many classes, retreats, local groups, and articles.
