  April 23, 2026 With several vestry members completing their terms at January's Annual Meeting, a new secretary was needed. Thank you Charlie Kennedy for your willingness to step up and serve! With all of the planning and hard work that went into Holy Week, thank-you’s are in order! Please join me in thanking leaders on the Altar Guild, as well as those who held various worship leader responsibilities during the intense (and hopefully meaningful) days of Holy Week. ~Rev.

We'll be wrapping donated books and placing a brief description of the book on the outside of the package. We do not need additional book donations, but we could use basic brown wrapping paper, book-themed stickers, tea bags and drink mix pouches. We'll gather for a pre-sale wrapping party this Saturday, April 25 at 10 a.m. All are welcome to join the fun! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Those who serve, Sunday, April 26, 9am Musician Nancy Meier Media Team Stephanie Schingle Ushers Alena Kennedy, Charlie Kennedy Acolyte Master Clark Wisniewski Acolytes Walker Anderson, Monica Shambaugh Lector/Intercessor Clark Wisniewski Eucharistic Minister Nancy Kepler Altar Guild Judi Widmaier, Connie Schingle, Jeane Anderson Coffee Hosts Karen Larson, Sandi Van Engel Upcoming Events at St. Francis: Tuesday 04/28 NO Centering Prayer today Wednesday 04/29 No Midweek Service; 5th Wednesday Lectionary Study & Compline 3p Library Thursday 04/30 Discipleship Group 12p Library Friday 05/01 Men's Bible Study 8a Library Saturday 05/02 Blessed Creations Fair 10a-2p Parish Hall Sunday 05/03 Sunday Worship 9a St Francis Sunday Worship 11:30a Good Shepherd, Harrisburg Godly Play Sunday School 9a Conference Room ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  From the Office—Ann’s Announcements
