and caring friends delivered 65 bright, cheery plants to members of our church family who may have had recent losses or difficulties. Each plant is a connection - that we at St. Francis are a family and we share the joys and hard times of our lives with each other. Thank you to those delivering plants with such loving spirit:
Gay Kuykendall, Peggy Danford, Joani Baldwin, Fred Terrill and Jan Heiling, Gayle and Richard Martens, Lynne Cerny, Janice Parker, Betsy Yacob, Gary and Sandi Thompson, Tom and Marilyn Councell, Dale Rushton, Nan Dewey, Linda Tasker, Carolyn Carey, James and Mary Kirk, Rebecca Engen, the Vaught family, the Clifford family, and John Wisecaver.
We have a wonderful church family. Thank you.

Thank You
Thank you to Altar Guild members and parishioners who participated in preparations for services during Holy Week and Easter. Many were silent volunteers whose names were not listed in the bulletins and deserve recognition. Thank you to
Robert Campbell
who faithfully hung and changed the veils on the cross above the altar, several times during the Lenten season.
Orville Bell and Jerry Thomsen
arrived early Saturday morning and patiently hung each ribbon streamer from our chandeliers.
Apryl Garmon
is our "Master Gardener" whose creative floral design gave inspiration and direction to the overall decorating plan. She, along with
Jane Domagalski
and
Karen Hogue
arrived very early Saturday morning with buckets full of the many variety of buds and blossoms with a precise color scheme that magically transformed our sanctuary and narthex into the visual and glorious display to give thanks and praise for the Resurrection. Also participating in the creative arranging of flowers were
Carole Biskar, Jan Boyd, Anita Bradford, Terri Hoffmann, Judy Hurst, Kathy Miller, Jeanette Munyon, Dale Rushton, Diane Schoenrock, Nancy Stephenson and Victoria von Tagen.
We give thanks to our St. Francis Community.
Jan Baird and Sue Coleman
Organ Update
Construction on our new organ console has begun after a delay due to design and engineering issues. We now have an estimated shipping date of October 16. The console will take a week to 10 days to arrive from the factory in Pennsylvania. Installation will then take up to a month to complete, though the organ should be playable about a week after it arrives. This shipping date is later that we had initially hoped for, but we will be all the more appreciative when it finally arrives.

Prayer attributed to St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
