  Thursday Announcements-January 16, 2025 ERIN’S EPISTLETTES Last fall, Saint Francis began co-hosting a youth group in partnership with First Presbyterian Church in Scottsbluff. We’re delighted to report six youth from Saint Francis have participated! We’ve been invited to provide dinner for those weekly meetings of Youth Fellowship. Individuals and families, as well as small groups or several families working together, are welcome to participate. Those who volunteer will be asked to provide a meal for fifteen people (most of them hungry teenagers!). This meal may be home cooked or purchased from a store or restaurant. For more information or to volunteer, please contact the church office. Our friends at Calvary Lutheran in Scottsbluff will host the University of South Dakota Chamber singers in concert on March 10th. They're looking for locals willing to serve as host families that night. The choir requests accommodations for a minimum of two choir members per household, as well as a light breakfast the morning of March 11. If you're interested in hosting, please contact Calvary at 308-632-8023. This spring, I'll be offering a three-session discussion series on The Dream of God: A Call to Return by Verna Dozier. (You can read more about the book and its author by following the links.) I'll offer one set of sessions during the day, and another set outside standard business hours. If you're interested in participating in this discussion series, please complete this brief survey to let me know which days and times work best for you. The scheduling survey will be available through January 26. _____________________________________________________________ The Laundry of Love mission is a monthly service provided by three area churches. Saint Francis provides this service once every three months (March, June, September, and December) from 12:00-2:00 p.m. on the third Sunday of the month at the East Overland laundromat. In 2 hours, the mission serves approximately 12 individuals/families. The church donates an average of $150 at each mission. Thank you to Jane Sayre, Janet Craven, and the Schingle family members who have volunteered their time and resources to help with this wonderful community outreach. _____________________________________________________________ Those who serve, this week January 19, 2025, 9am Musician Nancy Meier Media Team Steve Trickler Ushers Nancy Kepler, Diane Morrison Acolyte Master Clark Wisniewski Acolytes Open, Open Lector/Intercessor Shirley Mead Eucharistic Minister Santana Tamarak Altar Guild Nancy Kepler, Monica & Kathy Shambaugh Coffee Hosts Karen Larson, Karen Mecklem Flowers: Greg & Ann Peterson In Memory Of Greg’s Parents, Dolan & Arlene Peterson Clark & Amy Wisniewski In Thanksgiving for their Daughter, Catherine Upcoming Events At St. Francis: This Sunday is the third Sunday of the month, so our loose offerings will go toward the Rector's Discretionary Fund.
