Important Sunday School News!
We will be thanking our beloved Kate Buchen who is stepping down as  Children and Families Shepherd, the Minister of our Sunday School Program.  She ends serving in this leadership role at the end of Vacation Bible School but will continue  on as one of the teachers.  I will be offering a special thank you to Kate on Sunday, June 25, which is also ‘Thank You’ Sunday for everyone. I invite everyone to discern if they would like to become involved in our Sunday School program and take a turn once a month as a teacher or classroom door person. Our program is as wonderful as it is because of the dedication and generosity of the time and talents of our parishioners. I invite your discernment if you are called to a role in Sunday School leadership.  Would you like to take over as the leader of our program?  Or take on an area and we divide the leadership roles, such as,  someone is in charge of the Sunday School curriculum, someone else the Summer Program and another person coordinating Vacation Bible School??? Please pray about these opportunities and let me know.   The Sunday School leadership role is a paid part-time position. I thank God for the ministry of faithful parishioners who have been volunteering once a month! Gratefully, Paula+

Come join the summer choir!
Our choir is moving to our summer schedule, which means we do not meet on Thursday nights, but only come at 9:00am on Sunday mornings to learn the music for that day. Come join us!  

Meet Scholarship Outreach Graduate!
Tomorrow! - Friday June 16, 5:00pm
Our St. Francis Outreach Scholarship graduate, Richard Tucker, is taking off for the Teach for America program this month.  He will be teaching middle school in NYC and at the end of the program he will have earned his teaching credential and his Master's in Education.

Come meet Richard and wish him luck, along with members of the scholarship committee on   Friday, June 16 at 5:00 p.m.  in the Bouzy section of Chez Melange in the Rivera Village.  Any questions, contact Cheryl Gutierrez at  (310) 791-7038.


Organ Fundraising Phase II
THANK YOU to all who have contributed to our Organ Restoration Campaign. Together we have raised over $114,124, and $750 promised, for a total of $114,874. The Vestry has decided to contribute from reserves to get us to the $150,000 we need for our Restoration Plan. Anyone who would still like to help can reduce the amount coming from these reserves, by adding to our Organ Campaign total. In addition, we would like to bolster our Organ and Instrument Maintenance Fund each year so, when the next repairs become necessary, we have the needed money in hand.  
Look Ahead!
