St. Francis has been active!

 Tim Seeley, Head of School at
GSA, spoke to a large gathering after a recent Coffee Hour. He was delightful and straight-forward as he discussed ongoing food insecurity among the school population. Tim is focused on the issues and promised to keep our church in the loop.

GSA-

We had a wonderful day with the Congregational Church and new friends from The Mosque in Orono...a beautiful lunch and even more beautiful guests. St Francis parishioners went all out, feeding nearly 80 adults and children.
