Housed in the undercroft, this “one-man show” is our primary funder of outreach donations to the community. It is an e-bay marketplace that sells donated items, using the proceeds to make monetary donations to community organizations such as Doves, Red Cross, Schools Backpack Program, Doctors without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, Episcopal Relief & Development, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, Save the Children and Shriners Hospital as well as other ministries within St Francis (e.g., Daughters of the King, Sack Lunches). Since its inception, Prairied Treasurers has made over $100,000 in donations. Prairied Treasures was created by a group of parishioners in 2007. Over time, most of the original founders of the ministry have moved on to other ministries. But, Don Kepler persists. Don has been working tirelessly since the beginning of Prairied Treasurers to collect, evaluate, and market donations that he posts on the e-bay site. For him, it is a labor of love. Now, it is time to look to the next generation of e-bay enthusiasts. Don is looking for an apprentice who is willing to learn the ropes of this ministry. This is an opportunity for someone who has some general computer skills and an interest in turning buried treasures into cash for St Francis’ outreach to our community. If you are curious about this opportunity, you can contact Don Kepler at 308-635-0734 or Mary Bowman at 303-514-2820. ______________________________________________________________________________ Those who serve, Sunday, August 23, 9am Musician Nancy Meier Media Team Stephanie Schingle Ushers Monica & Kathy Shambaugh Worship Leader Kathy Shambaugh Lector/Intercessor Bill Mann Altar Guild Judi Widmaier, Connie Schingle, Jeane Anderson Coffee Hosts Mary Bowman, Barb Manasek Flowers: Marian McKee In memory of her husband, Dick Upcoming Events at St. Francis: Tuesday 8/18 Centering Prayer 11a Friday 8/21 Men’s Bible Study 8a Library Sunday 8/30 Sunday Worship 9a St Francis Godly Play Sunday School 9:00a ________________________________________________________________________________ From the Office—Ann’s Announcements  Birthdays:
