​ERIN’S EPISTLETTES
  • Earlier this week, I learned of a delightful event to which you are all invited. On Friday, September 22 at 3 p.m., Rae Whitney's friends from First Presbyterian Church will gather at the Residency dining hall to sing her hymns. Of course, tea will be served. Saint Francis is warmly invited to join them. 
  • Thank you to all who completed the Adult Spiritual and Learning Opportunity Survey. I appreciate your time and input.
    • I'll begin the sessions I facilitate with an introduction to the Bible. That three-part series will take place in the spring. Dates will be announced early next year.
    • Some indicated an interest in participating in groups which meet more frequently. While I'm not able to facilitate those groups on an ongoing basis, I'm willing to coordinate their start. I compiled a resource list to help with this. If you're interested in leading or co-leading a group, please let me know.

       Pre/Early Teen Bible Study for Sunday mornings won't be starting on Sept10th.    However, the students (11, 12, 13 year-olds) are still welcome to attend the Godly Play classes until regular pre/early teen
classes begin.
       Because there was such limited interest or commitment shown last year among 11-14 year ages, we are asking if you would like your pre/early teens to attend  a S.S. class, please contact Peggy Wymore at
436-1820 or [email protected] to learn more about what is offered and ask any questions you might have.   The class basically teaches the students what the Bible is about, how to find their way through
that Book, lessons from Bible characters and how they can apply them to their own lives.
      We will announce a date for starting these classes when Peggy sees there is an interest.  (An interest means even one or two who plan to attend regularly -- as possible).
     The classes will be held during church as is "Godly Play".  If the students are acolytes on one of those Sundays, there will be a make-up lesson during coffee hour.


Prayer Requests * Please make sure your request is received by Wednesday of each week. You may call (308) 632-4626 (leave a message), email [email protected] or mail to:

​

We have the Forward Day by Day’s for August- October are here in regular and
large print.  If you’d like one of these mailed to you, please email or call the church.
