Please bring an empty container for yourself to fill with a delicious variety of sweet treats for your holiday celebrations. Refreshments will also be served. Come for fun and fellowship! Any questions call Barb at 436-7767. The Daughters of the King have decided to suspend the collection of personal hygiene items for the rest of this year.

As hard as it is for me to believe, summer has passed and October is upon us! This month will be a time of reflection on the meaning of worship at our parish. There are two ways you can participate. First is the worship survey. It's now available online. Click here to access it. Paper copies will be available at church beginning Sunday, October 2. If you would like one mailed to you, let Ann in the front office know. (stfrancis@allophone.com or 308-632-4626) The survey will be available until Thursday, October 20. Please return paper copies to the office by that date. Second is a discussion on the meaning of worship. This will take place during coffee hour on Sunday, October 9. Please mark your calendars. Please let friends who are not on email (or who don't check it regularly) know about these opportunities for reflection and discernment. And thank you in advance for your participation. Many Thanks, Erin+ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX the Rev. Erin Rath ~ Rector Saint Francis Episcopal Church 14 E. 20th St ~ Scottsbluff, NE (308) 632-4626 ~ https://www.saintf.org/  Thursday Announcements September 29, 2022 ERIN’S EPISTLETTES
