Do you feel called to invest in the youth of our diocese in a meaningful and lasting way? Consider joining Camp Canterbury as a volunteer this summer. Mark your calendars for July 13th-17th for Camp Canterbury in Fremont, NE! Counselor applications are now being received and are due by February 28th! Submit your application today at: https://alliance.wufoo.com/forms/z1gb48i71oi4xlg/. Our theme this year is Feast with God, as we recognize the presence of God through the gift of food. I recently received a question regarding hymn selection. A vast majority of the hymns we sing were selected by you, the people of Saint Francis. Most of these were suggested during the hymn sing we held in early 2024; others are from thoughtful and detailed lists provided by individual parishioners. I remain open to and encourage your suggestions in this area: if there is a hymn we haven't sung recently, or one you wish we sang more frequently, please let me know. If you're interested in helping with the week-to-week hymn selection process, please let me know that as well. If there's enough interest, a planning committee can be formed. ~Many Thanks, Rev. Erin+ The theme of Episcopal Relief and Development's 2026 Lenten Meditations is "Holy Habits." They're written by Sister Monica Clare, an Episcopal nun based in New Jersey.
