What's Happening at St. Francis this week

Thursday Announcements July 6, 2023

ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

• As this Sunday is the second Sunday of the month, prayers for healing will be offered following worship. You may request prayers for yourself or a loved one. 
• Due to sparse and sporadic attendance, I decided to move our midweek Eucharist to an online format. 
  • Our last in-person service in the chapel was yesterday, July 5. 
  • We'll take a break until after the start of school. 
    • Our next midweek worship will be Wednesday, August 23.
  • Look for more information about the new iteration of this offering in late July.

• I'm away at DioNeb's Camp Canterbury July 16 - 23. Camp runs July 17 - 21. Your prayers for both campers and staff are appreciated.

The Daughters of the King are sponsoring a collection for the CAPWN Food Pantry.
This will replace our collection of personal hygiene items in June and July.  The Food Pantry is expecting a higher demand as the agencies that provide two meals a day
to children and families will only be providing one meal a day in the month of July. This is due to a change in vendors. 
We will be collecting June 25 and all Sundays in July.
Please bring non-perishable items and place in the baskets in the narthex. Some suggested items include: cereal, peanut butter, canned tuna and meats,
canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, dry beans, rice, masa harina, individual serving packages of fruits and vegetables, flour. Please check expiration dates.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our community!
