FATHER MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS

  1. Last week clergy and delegates from across the diocese gathered in Lincoln for our Annual Council. Lots of laughs and reconnecting with old friends, capped by an amazing Holy Eucharist – one without equal in my memory. On Friday, the Bishop gave a profound and moving address, which you can find on the diocesan facebook page. I highly recommend it to you.
  2. The Rev. Tom Jones, Rector of Church of the Holy Spirit in Bellevue, is leading a trip to the Holy Land in May 2022. Fr. Tom is an excellent priest and a good friend, and I can recommend this trip without hesitation. For more information contact Fr. Tom directly at [email protected]
  3. Monday November 1st we will celebrate on the Feast of All Saints with a Eucharist Service at 12:00-1:00 P.M. in the sanctuary. Additionally, the labyrinth will be setup in the parish hall Monday afternoon for anyone interested in contemplative prayer, perhaps in memory of a beloved family saint.
  4. St. Francis COVID-19 Mask Policy for November – due to continued high levels of both infections and hospitalizations in our community we will extend our mask requirement in worship through Nov 30. This is not an easy decision and I don’t make it lightly or in a vacuum. Once again this week I reached out to medical experts in our church and local hospitals and the advice I received was that the safest way forward is to continue with masks indoors in worship for at least another 30 days. We do have an excellent video feed linked from our website www.saintf.org for anyone that prefers this option.
  5. Food Bank of the Heartland will be set up at the Good Shepherd of the Plains Episcopal Church in Harrisburg on November 5th from 5:00-7:00 P.M. giving away perishable and non-perishable food items free of charge. Please communicate to anyone you know who is food insecure. If you would like to assist with food distribution, please arrive at Good Shepherd approximately an hour early.
