  Thursday Announcements-February 27, 2025 ERIN’S EPISTLETTES A Message from Mary I am honored and humbled to be called and selected to serve you as your Senior Warden. My commitment to you is that I will work collaboratively with my fellow vestry members and Reverend Erin to create a vision and plan of action that reflects God’s dream for our congregation. As we discussed in the Annual Meeting, we face significant challenges relative to insuring our church’s continued viability in the future. It will take all of us, moving forward in the same direction, to safeguard the legacy of St Francis Episcopal Church and make certain God’s mission and vision for her are sustainable. To that end, at the Annual Meeting, we determined the need for a formal Stewardship Committee to focus on our financial resources and congregational engagement. This will be a special committee under the Vestry. Five people have already stepped forward to participate. I extend my personal invitation to you to join us on this journey. Consider Paul’s words to the church in Rome: “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.” (Romans 12: 4 – 6) I ask you to prayerfully consider what gifts you have to offer to this important committee. If you are able and willing to participate, please let me or Reverend Erin know. (You can contact me at 303-514-2820.) If you are unable to participate at this time, I ask you to lift up the work of this committee in your talks with God. God’s Peace, Mary _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here's the previously published information on Project Resource.
