What's Happening at St. Francis this week

Thursday Announcements  September 29, 2022

ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

  

• My first announcement is for youth aged 11-15. You probably know Peggy, the leader of our bible study for teens and pre-teens. She decided to move the study time to after the 9 a.m. service Sundays so youth serving as acolytes can participate. Peggy is cool people and she wants to chat with you. I highly recommend you check it out when you can! 
• A question I've received a few times is: what should I call you? The short answer is...My first choice is to be addressed by my first name only, without a title. If you're more comfortable addressing me using a title, my first choice is Reverend Erin. I'll tell you more about my reasons in a future enews. 
• Another question I've received a few times is: do I need an appointment to see you? During the week, appointments are encouraged but by no means required. I'm happy to meet outside "standard business hours," too! I'd love to meet for coffee or take you and your kids/grandkids for ice cream at your convenience. As a reminder, my cell is 605-215-9470. My email is theRevErinRath@gmail.com. 

Finally, an LOL 4u...​

Attention all Acolytes:
For the next several Sundays, we will be taking measurements for new acolyte robes, immediately after the service.  Measurements will be done in the acolyte robing room.
If you are currently an acolyte or interested in becoming an acolyte—please come and get measured for a new robe!
Thanks!
