September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month.
​On Sunday, Sept. 17th we are asking St. Francis attendees to wear gold/yellow
to honor and support children battling cancer and to help raise awareness for this
terrible disease that no child should have to battle. 
Let's make St. Francis SHINE on Sun. Sept. 17th!

        Pre/Early Teen Bible Study for Sunday mornings won't be starting on Sept10th.    However, the students (11, 12, 13 year-olds) are still welcome
to attend the Godly Play classes until regular pre/early teen classes begin.
       Because there was such limited interest or commitment shown last year among 11-14 year ages, we are asking if you would like your pre/early teens
to attend  a S.S. class, please contact Peggy Wymore 436-1820 or jpwymore@charter.net to learn more about what is offered and ask any questions you might have.   The class basically teaches the students what the Bible is about, how to find their way through that Book, lessons from Bible characters and how they can apply them to their own lives.
       We will announce a date for starting these classes when Peggy sees there is an interest.  (An interest means even one or two who plan to attend regularly -- as possible).
     The classes will be held during church as is "Godly Play".  If the students are acolytes on one of those Sundays, there will be a make-up lesson during coffee hour.
