What's Happening at St. Francis this week

Thursday Announcements October 13, 2022
 
ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

• ​Your response to the worship survey remains strong! My heartfelt thanks to the seventy-three parishioners who've completed it so far. I would love to have 100% participation! The survey will remain open for another week, until 10/20. It can be completed online (click here), or paper copies are available in the narthex. 
• Many thanks to those who participated in last Sunday's worship discussion. I appreciated the opportunity to learn about and from each of you. 
• Due to unforeseen circumstances, one of our delegates to diocesan Council has become unavailable. Council is in Kearney October 27-29. Please let me know if you're interested in serving. 
• Please save the date! A celebration of our new ministry together, along with a visit from Bishop Barker, will take place the evening of Friday, January 13.
• And -- last but certainly not least -- my cartoon in honor of our patron saint, Francis, and his love of all creatures
