All are Welcome!

First -- everyone is welcome at St. Francis, and every type and configuration of family is welcome. We are all children of God in the family of God, and so just show up, fully who you are and as you are, and share your family with ours. We welcome you, whether you have two moms, two dads, one of each, or one of either, we could care less. Children are a gift from God and you and yours are a gift to us. 

Second, kids are welcome during the worship service. We understand that little ones can be busy and noisy, and our promise is that we welcome and enjoy your kids -- noise, wiggling, whining, and all. Our rule is "if they're present, they don't have to be perfect." (Same goes for our adults, too!) So bring your kids. Feel free to get up anytime and walk around with them, or if you prefer we have a Nursery space available (newborns - 4 years) and Sunday School/Godly Play (ages 5-9), both upstairs above the Parish Hall during the 9:00 a.m. worship service.

For older kids, we have Youth Group, Acolytes at Worship, and Summer Camp. 

Children

• Nursery -- 1-4 yrs, weekly at 9:00 a.m.
• Godly Play -- 5-9 yrs, weekly (during school year) at 9:00 a.m.

Kid's Creativity Center

• After Sunday services we have a coffee hour in the Parish Hall, which is a chance for folks to grab a cup of coffee and a snack and catch up with each other. While the adults talk at the tables, the kids play in our Kid's Creativity Center at the north end of the room, well in sight of their parents but doing their own thing, which gives the parents a chance to talk. This has been a great addition to our fellowship. Kids love it, and parents do, too.

Youth

• Youth Group -- 10-18 yrs, Sundays (during school year) and monthly during summer
• Camp Canterbury -- 10-18 yrs, last week in July
• Acolytes -- 10 yrs and up, weekly (with training and scheduling)
