  August 14, 2025 Rev. Erin’s Camp Canterbury Photo Journal
We’re looking for 8–10 friends to join the FREE Kickball Tournament on Sunday, August 24, 2025, from Noon–4 PM! Only one teammate needs to sign up, so if you would like to message me with the names and ages (over 14 or under 14 is specific enough) I can sign up the teams.(Sarah 308-240-1588) Remember, if you don't envision yourself as a kickball athlete, stand in recruits are accepted. Think about your kids or grandkids, neighbors or friends who owe you one. It would be a great way to show the community involvement of the church in a fun way. Move quickly, the Sign-up Deadline: Sunday, August 17, 2025! This event is Hosted by: Scottsbluff Parks & Recreation and the Beef, Beans & Bluegrass Festival ______________________________________________________ A Note from the Rector: Accessing Pastoral Care I'm available to provide pastoral care 24/7. If you or a family member are admitted to the hospital, whether planned or unplanned, please call (rather than text) me on my cell. If you or a family member are admitted through the emergency room, please call (rather than text) my cell as soon as you can, even if it's the middle of the night. We've confirmed with Regional West that they will not call me to inform me of your hospitalization. Unless you or a family member call, I won't know of your hospitalization and won't have the opportunity to visit you. With rare exception, if you're hospitalized locally, I'll visit the same day I receive communication that you're in the hospital. If you have surgery at a hospital out of town, I would like the opportunity to pray with you beforehand. (If you want, this can include a visit at your home.) If you don't have my cell number, please ask me or check your most recent directory (published earlier this year). If you still need a copy of that directory, please let the front office know. ~Thanks, Rev. Erin+ _________________________________________________________ A Message from Mary Greetings! I hope your summer is going well and that you have been able to enjoy the warm weather. In response to feedback from several Parishioners during our Spring Giving Campaign, we completed a cost-benefit analysis related to changes in our weekly worship bulletin. We specifically looked at the costs for printing the bulletin in the current format versus the costs that would be associated with a “skinny” version of the bulletin. Here are the results of that analysis.
If you would like to underwrite one or more weeks of printing the bulletin, you can do so by writing “Weekly Bulletin” in the memo line on your check. For His Sake, Mary __________________________________________________________ Financials for this Quarter:  __________________________________________________________ Those who serve, Sunday, August 17, 9am Musician Barb Becker Media Team Stephanie Schingle Ushers Monica & Kathy Shambaugh Acolyte Master Clark Wisniewski Acolytes Allie & Erin Cawiezel Lector/Intercessor Ann Peterson Eucharistic Minister Beth McKibbin Altar Guild Barb Manasek, Cindy Dickinson, Christy Anderson Coffee Hosts Judi Widmaier, Ann Peterson Flowers: Jeff Bott and Cindy Strauch & Lisa In memory of Willard & Sharon Bott Upcoming Events at St. Francis: Tuesday 08/19 Vestry 6p Wednesday 08/20 Midweek Eucharists 12:15p & 6p Thursday 08/21 Men's Bible Study 8a Library Sunday 08/24 Sunday Eucharists St. Francis 9a Good Shepherd, Harrisburg 11:30a Blessing of the Backpacks Both Services! __________________________________________________________ Call for Volunteers – Labor Day Weekend at 5 Rocks! 🎉 Hi everyone, We’re getting ready for an exciting opportunity to get the word about the Laundry Love mission out to the community.
