# HOLY COLD 🥶🙏

### Winter prayers outside.

3280 Redstone Park Cir, Littleton, CO 80129

Select Sunday mornings this winter

It’s cold. It’s early. It might be holy.

Once a month this winter, we’ll bundle up and gather outside for about 30 minutes of simple prayer and sacred connection as the morning begins.
We’ll breathe. Read something sacred. Notice the world around us. Wonder together. Pray.

That’s it.

No building. No production. No preparation required. Just winter, prayer, and each other.

Dress warmly. Bring coffee or something hot if you’d like. We’ll meet at 8:30 and be finished around 9:00.

HOW TO FIND US: Look for us near one of the pavilions near the lake and the playground. Close to the big parking lot. Look for a BETWEEN sign or some BETWEEN bandanas or some BETWEEN swag.

### A Typical HOLY COLD Morning

We keep it simple. About 30-45 minutes, start to finish.

8:30 — Greet & Gather
Bundle up, say hello, settle in, notice the morning and the people around us.

8:35 — Opening Prayer
A few moments to breathe, arrive, and become present to ourselves, one another, and the sacred.

8:40 — Sacred Wisdom
A short reading from Scripture, poetry, another faith tradition, or some other source of wisdom worth wondering about.

8:45 — A Short Reflection & Conversation
A brief message connecting the reading to sacred human connection, followed by a question or two for the group. Sharing is always invited, never required.

9:10 — Prayers of the People
Space to name what's on our hearts—for ourselves, people we love, our neighbors, and the world.

9:15 — Closing Prayer & Go Get Warm
A simple blessing for whatever comes next.

That's it. Cold air. Sacred wisdom. Good people. Holy Togetherness.

### Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need to be religious? Nope. BETWEEN is rooted in an extra loving, wildly inclusive, progressive expression of the Christian tradition, but HOLY COLD is for people of any faith, uncertain faith, changing faith, or no particular faith at all. We’ll sometimes read from the Bible and sometimes encounter wisdom from other sacred traditions, poets, writers, and teachers. Bring your beliefs, your questions, your doubts, and your curiosity. Nobody will ask you to pretend certainty you don’t have. And we are NOT trying to convince you to believe what we believe. Read more about BETWEEN's beliefs here.

• What should I bring? Mostly, warm clothes. Dress for the weather—hat, gloves, layers, boots if there’s snow. Bring coffee, tea, or another warm drink if you’d like. Nothing else is required.

• What if the weather is really bad? Cold is part of HOLY COLD. Dangerous weather isn’t. We’ll gather in ordinary Colorado winter conditions, including some snow, but cancel if roads or conditions make gathering unsafe. Any cancellation will be posted through Meetup.

• What if I don’t want to talk or pray out loud? That’s completely fine. Everything is invitation, not obligation. You’re welcome to join the conversation, offer a prayer, or simply stand with us, listen, breathe some cold air, and be present. Showing up is participation.

Come get HOLY COLD with us.

Story Hour (Sacred Colorado Connections on Zoom)

Tue, Dec 1 · 5:30 PM MST

### An hour of small stories and sacred connection.

Tuesday, December 1 · 5:30–6:30 PM

Online via Zoom

There are more than 200 people connected to BETWEEN Colorado... and most of us haven't met each other yet.

So let's spend an hour changing that.

STORY HOUR is a simple online gathering built around one idea: every person you encounter carries a lifetime of stories you don't know.
We'll start with one short story about sacred human connection. Then we'll spend most of our time in small groups of just a few people, using easy, interesting prompts to hear a little more about one another.

Nothing to prepare. No presentation to give. Nobody is going to ask you to share your deepest secret or explain your entire spiritual journey. And you can always pass on a question. Listening counts as participating.
You might be asked something like:

What's something that's brought you joy lately?
What's a place that has shaped you?
What's something you're wondering about these days?
Who is someone you're grateful to have known?

Come from your couch. Bring dinner. Pour yourself something you enjoy.
You don't have to have a big story. You just have to have a story. And you do.

### What to Expect

5:30 · Welcome & Gather
We'll say hello, introduce BETWEEN, and settle in together.
5:35 · One Small Story
Matt Mattson will share a very short story about an ordinary moment of human connection—and offer a question for us to carry into the evening.
5:40 · Story Circle #1
We'll head into small Zoom rooms of about 3–4 people with a couple of easy prompts. You'll have a chance to share, listen, ask questions, or simply be present.
5:55 · Back Together
We'll return to the whole group for a few reflections—not reports about what other people shared, just anything you noticed about the experience of listening and being heard.
6:05 · Story Circle #2
New small groups. New questions. Another chance to meet someone you probably didn't know an hour ago. The prompts may go a little deeper, but sharing is always an invitation, never an obligation.
6:20 · Closing Circle
We'll gather one last time for a simple reflection and blessing.
6:30 · Go Gently
That's it. One hour. A few stories. A few new people. Hopefully a little less distance between us.

### A Few FAQs

Do I need to know anyone?
No. In fact, this is especially for people who have been interested in BETWEEN Colorado but haven't found an easy way to jump in yet.

How many people will be there?
Maybe it'll only be you and Matt. Maybe 200. We genuinely have no idea. Any amount is the perfect amount for that evening.

Am I going to have to tell a deeply personal story?
Nope. You decide what you share. The questions are designed to invite curiosity and connection, not forced vulnerability. Passing is always okay.

Is this a religious gathering?
BETWEEN is rooted in the most inclusive and curious and affirming version of the Christian tradition and is radically welcoming of people with all kinds of faith, uncertain faith, changing faith, and no particular faith. STORY HOUR isn't about agreeing on what we believe. It's about practicing something we think is sacred: paying attention to one another.

Why stories?
Because it's hard to reduce someone to a category once you know something about their life. Stories invite us to become curious about people instead of assuming we already have them figured out.
The space between us is sacred. Let's spend an hour noticing it.
