Lenten Booklet
In the past several years, during the season of Lent, we were all given a charming little booklet, with meditations for each day of Lent. The entries consisted of original prose and poems, as well as submissions of favorite poems, psalms, Bible passages, uplifting thoughts, points to ponder, and children’s artwork.
The entries came from us-- from our wonderful, talented St. Francis parishioners, from young and old, and drew us closer together for our Lenten journey.
We need your submissions in order to do this!! Ash Wednesday is February 26th, but the entries should be in by
Sunday, February 16th.
Start your thinking, and send in your pearls of wisdom, your jewels of thoughts, as soon as possible.
They may be sent to the church office , or given to Deacon Ken or me. Many Thanks!!

*Names on the submissions are optional*
St. Francis will be launching a new website in the next few weeks
There will photos of parishioners and children on the site. These photos may change with new events. If anyone wants to
“opt out”
of having their photo on the website, please notify the office as soon as possible.
We are also planning on having an
online directory
with a password for parishioners only. Also let the office know if you want to
“opt out” of the online directory.
You are cordially invited to Catechumenate 2020 beginning

If you are new to St. Francis, new to church, would like to be baptized or just get to know folks better, please join us. We meet Sundays from noon until about 2:00 pm for about three months, share prayers and reflection, stories, lunch and information about the blessings and responsibilities of baptism in the Episcopal Church. There is no homework and no pressure, just interesting, inspiring and important time spent in community.
