We have recently completed our process of updating the Mission and Vision statements of St. Francis Church.
Please join us in this conversation to find out from Paula+, Peter+ and the Mission and Vision Team about what this means and where we go from here!
We welcome everyone to worship God together,
to be transformed by the Holy Spirit and each other,
and to share the light of Christ in the world.

50th Antiques Show Updates!!!
Opening Night Party
"Golden Jubilee"
Wednesday May 30: 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Tickets will be on sale after both services starting April 29th!
Solicit Ads For
Antiques Show Program
It has been profitable for the Antiques Show to have ads placed in the annual Antiques Show program.
This is to announce that now is the time to ask your hair salon, favorite restaurant, dry cleaners, bank, gift shop, etc. for their support of our local fundraiser by taking an ad in our program.
Also welcome are support ads from our parishioners.
Please come to the church office and pick up parishioner letters, merchant letters and last year’s programs to use in soliciting ads. It is helpful to show a merchant last year’s program which illustrates how ads are presented in the program, and merchants appreciate having the merchant’s letter for tax purposes.
Annual Pickle-making Day
Tuesday, May 8, 8:00 am till 11:00 am or Noon till 3:00-4:00 pm
Please let Gloria (310 375-8916) know if you can come for any amount of time that day. No experience needed. Instruction given.
These are sold at the Antiques show and are a popular item.
Nursery Pots for Gazebo
If you have any 1 gallon nursery pots, the gazebo crew would be most grateful! Please call Anna Eakins (310 297 0701. Thank you!
Silent Auction Donations
One of the highlights of the Show is the Silent Auction that takes place during the Gala on Wednesday evening. Please contact
