A Message from Mary
 
Greetings!
 
It has been a busy Spring!  Beginning with Lent and all our worship opportunities and preparations for celebration on Easter Sunday.  Then, the successful Craft Fair, thanks to Sarah Schaaf’s commitment and diligent organization.  Additionally, the Stewardship & Engagement team made personal contact with over 85% of our regular givers, resulting in 43 confirmed pledges for 2025.
 
As we move into the summer months, I want to give you a glimpse of what to expect with regard to the Vestry and Stewardship & Engagement team.
 
First, along with its “normal” business, the Vestry is paying particular attention to the finances of the Parish.  We have instituted a Finance Committee that will be reviewing the Parish bills on a monthly basis to see where there may be opportunities for savings or cost-cutting.  The Stewardship & Engagement team received feedback from a number of parishioners with ideas in this regard and we will be taking a look at those.
 
We have also published the Q1 Financials in the e-news and they will be published in the Sunday Bulletin as well.  These were a little late in getting published because of a delay in getting our April financials from our accountant due to his responsibilities related to tax season.  We expect future quarterly reports to be published timelier relative to the end of the quarter.
 
Giving Statements for Jan – April have been emailed to those individuals for whom the office has current email addresses.  If you did not receive a statement, please contact Ann.
 
            At their next meeting, the Stewardship & Engagement team will begin focusing on “Engagement”.  How do we increase the engagement of all our current parishioners?  How do we attract others from our community to visit and become engaged with our parish?  Again, we received some good feedback about this from you during our Spring Giving Campaign.  We will be including those ideas in our discussions and will likely be reaching out to involve you in our Engagement ministry.
 
            Thank-you to everyone who took the time to talk with our Stewardship & Engagement team members.  We appreciate your feedback, suggestions and commitment to St Francis.  And, a special Thanks to the members of the Stewardship & Engagement team:  Jan Johnson, Jeane Anderson, Jill Young, Judi Widmaier, Jane Wisniewski, Connie Schingle and Erin Rath.  Your passion for St Francis and the people we serve is amazing!
 
For His Sake,
 
Mary Bowman, Sr Warden

Fellow St. Francis congregation members,

The fundraising event hosted on May 3rd was truly a success in my eyes. It not only raised over $3,200 and brought in over 150 outside community members, but it gave us time to appreciate each other and connect as a congregation.

I cannot begin to thank everyone who needs thanking, but I would like to try. For all of those who went out on a limb and shared their creative sparks with the community, thank you! For all of those who baked delicious treats, thank you! For all of those who collected or donated raffle and silent auction prizes, thank you! For all of those who became ticket sales entrepreneurs for the last month and a half, thank you! For all of those who said yes when I asked for help with organizing, advertising, decorating, set up, greeting guests, and serving refreshments, thank you! And for those of you who saw a need and filled it without even being asked, thank you! For everyone who attended and had fun, thank you! You all are the ones who really made the day a success. I count seven thank yous in this thank you note, but please know that I am very, very grateful for all of the help and enthusiasm that went into making this day a reality. Here's to this year's event and to the years to come.

Gratefully Yours,
Sarah Schaaf

We are pleased to share that the prayer stone station offered during Lent in the Mary Chapel will continue.  This prayer station has given much solace and comfort to our congregation, and because of requests we've received, we're going to continue to offer this prayer opportunity.  When you feel led to surrender your burdens and worries over to God, please visit the chapel prayer station.

There are still boxes and envelopes available. 
If you prefer to donate online, you may do so at:  https://unitedthankoffering.com/ingatheringgive/142 Years of Gratitude in Action. 
The United Thank Offering (UTO) was founded in 1883 to raise funds to support mission and ministry sites that were without funding. The women of the church began by asking the assembled group to make a thank offering for all the blessings of their past year. From this first thank offering grew our modern-day experience of UTO.  UTO encourages people to develop a practice of gratitude and from that practice to make thank offerings for all the blessings they experience. 100% of these offerings are then given away the following year to support innovative mission and ministry projects around the globe. Since 1883, UTO has awarded almost 5,500 grants at just over 102 million dollars.    Thank you for  your prayerful consideration.
 
The Daughters of the King are doing our annual collection for Capstone Child Advocacy Center during the month of April.  We are collecting: blankets (throws size--NEW only), journals, backpacks (NEW) and McDonald’s Gift Cards.  Cash is also welcome.  We will be presenting the collected items to Capstone on Sunday, April 27.  There is a box in the Narthex, for your donated items.

Friday Offering in Support of the Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East
During our Good Friday services on April 18, donations collected will go towards the Good Friday Offering. For more information on this century-old Episcopal tradition supporting the ministries of the Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, visit their website. Thank you in advance for your prayers and generosity.

​
  Message From Mary
Greeting Friends:
 
At the March Vestry meeting we had a robust discussion about our Church finances.  As many of you will recall, the 2025 Budget that was presented and approved at the Annual Meeting in January showed a significant deficit for the year.  Understandably, this is of great concern to you and your Vestry members. 
 
One of the difficulties we encountered when preparing the 2025 Budget was that we did not have firm numbers relative to expected giving from you, our Parishioners.  This is because we did not undertake a Pledge Campaign which has traditionally occurred during the Fall and provides critical input for the Budget. 
 
Following the Annual Meeting, we formed a Stewardship & Engagement Ministry group with an eye toward planning and executing a Fall 2025 Pledge Campaign in preparation for the 2026 Budget. 
 
But what about now? 
 
Your Vestry has asked the Stewardship & Engagement Ministry group to undertake a short Pledge Campaign immediately so that we can get a better understanding of how our finances will play out during this year.  To help us with this important task, you will be contacted by a member of the Stewardship & Engagement Ministry to confirm your planned giving for the rest of 2025.
 
This Spring Giving Campaign will occur during the month of April.  I ask that you prayerfully consider your planned giving to enable us to continue sharing God’s love in our community through all of our Worship, Connection and Outreach programs.
 
Thank you, Mary

🎶🎵🎶 Liturgical Notes 🎶🎵🎶 Why Holy Week? (Part 2) by the Rev Erin Rath, April 2025

What Happens on Good Friday?
Good Friday is the solemn liturgy in remembrance of Jesus' passion and death. On this day we hear eighty-two verses from the gospel of John* which recount the events of the first passion. As Good Friday is a continuation of the Maundy Thursday liturgy, it begins as the prior service ended: in silence. The altar, which was stripped following Thursday evening's service, remains bare. This is the only service in the liturgical year at which we have the opportunity to venerate the cross. The Eucharistic prayer is not said on this day. Instead, communion is distributed from consecrated sacrament reserved the night before. Good Friday is the second liturgy of the Triduum. At Saint Francis, this year's Good Friday liturgy will be offered at noon and 6 p.m. on April 18. Our evening Good Friday service will be livestreamed.

*Why a different Gospel translation on Good Friday?
We use the Common English Bible translation of the Passion story rather than the New Revised Standard Version. Though the NRSV is the most commonly used translation in Episcopal worship, our canons allow for the use of a variety of translations. The CEB was chosen for Good Friday because it uses the terms "Jewish leaders" and "Jewish leadership" rather than the more general label "the Jews." Articulating this difference is important not only because it more accurately describes the realities of the Passion story, but also because of the generations of antisemitism inspired by the more general label – a label which blames an entire faith tradition for the actions of a very small group of its members at a specific point in history.

Why Hold a Morning Service on Holy Saturday?
The Holy Saturday day service is held on the Saturday morning between Good Friday and the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. It's a time to honor the space between Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection on Easter, and the experience of the disciples in those first moments and hours after Jesus' death: the grieving, the not-knowing, the waiting, the feeling of being abandoned by God. In honoring the disciples' experience on that first grief-stricken Holy Saturday, we honor our own experiences of and struggles with grief, with not-knowing, with waiting, and with feeling abandoned by God. This year, Saint Francis will gather in the Mary Chapel at 10 a.m. on April 19. Because this service is held in chapel, there will be no live stream. 

What is Easter Vigil?
The Great Vigil of Easter is the culmination of Holy Week. Though it takes place on Saturday evening, the church considers it the first service of Easter Sunday and thus a part of the Triduum. There are four parts to this liturgy: a service of light, a service of lessons (or readings), renewal of our baptismal vows, and Holy Eucharist. Through these components, the story of redemption is retold and re-lived by participants. We re-experience the movement from darkness to light, celebrate our belonging in the new creation by remembering our baptism, and look forward to the glory we will share with the Risen Christ. This year, Saint Francis will celebrate this richly symbolic service on Saturday, April 19 at 7:45 p.m.

Easter Sunday
The events of the first Easter morning are a cornerstone of our faith. Our celebration remembering those events is the culmination of Holy Week and the final installment of the Triduum. Though we feel like we’ve reached the mountain top, both figuratively and literally, it’s important to remember how we got there and the struggles we experienced along the way. The services of Holy Week give us opportunities to give thanks for the gift of Jesus’ incarnation through worship, to honor the pain and the struggles of Jesus on the Cross and the grief of His beloved disciples, and to remember and honor the struggles and griefs, as well as the joys and triumphs, in our own lives and the lives of those we love.
I hope you had the opportunity to read the entries I wrote about the other six services of Holy Week. To those who read from the beginning, I thank you for your attention. I hope even more that you will partake of these offerings, that your own faith journey can be deepened and enriched.                                       _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
