What's Happening at St. Francis this week

 
Thursday Announcements April 20, 2023

ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

• A midweek Eucharist was re-introduced late last year as a pilot for 2023. Outside of Lent when this was paired with a soup supper, attendance has been sparse. On average, only two parishioners join the priest celebrating Eucharist. To those who have participated: thank you! To those interested in this offering who have yet to participate: I encourage you to vote with your feet. This service will be held Wednesdays at 6 p.m.
• I leave on vacation late next week. (Yes, the cat will come with me. And no -- he will not be happy about the long car ride!) All Sunday morning and Wednesday evening worship services will take place as usual.

So far we have Anna Kelley as our only High School graduate. 
If you know of any other of our church family that is graduating from High School or College,
please call the church office so we can include them in our celebration of their accomplishment.




This Sunday marks the ingathering of our little blue boxes of blessing, thanks, gratitude, and thougthful prayer.  Please return your blue boxes for blessing this Sunday, April 23rd, 2023.

Heavenly Father, source of all creation, all love, all true joy, accept, we pray, these outward signs of our profound and continuing thankfulness for all of life.  Bless those who will benefit from these gifts through the outreach of the united Thank Offering, and keep each of us ever thankful for all the blessings of joy and challenge that come our way.  Through Him who is the greatest gift and blessing of all, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Amen
