SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE
RE-GATHERING COMMITTEE

In light of the uptick in COVID-19 infections in Stamford, we ask you to be:

Particularly vigilant in masking properly at all times inside the Church facilities.

Mindful to keep a social distance when inside Church facilities.

Please stay at home if you are feeling ill. Should you test positive for COVID-19 within 5 days after attending a Service, please inform us of your infection (203) 939-5571.

All Church doors will be open, weather permitting, to keep air flow. Masks are available in the Narthex as well as hand sanitizer should you require them.

 ~The Re-Gathering Committee
Inside Outreach...
Through our Outreach Committee, St. Francis awards grants to several worthy nonprofit organizations. Our primary focus is on organizations and programs that serve the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the Stamford community. In early 2022, the Outreach Committee decided to feature an “Organization of the Month”. Laurel House is the one we're featuring this month.

Food for Thought. . .
A Year in the Life, filmed throughout the pandemic using COVID-safe protocols, explores how Episcopal schools, ministries, and congregations have adapted to the challenges of the year – from food insecurity to calls for racial justice to worship through restrictions – and more. In this episode, we visit Trinity Episcopal Church in Ambler, Pa. for a video reflection of Deacon Kristin Waskowicz Woods on Racial Justice.
Miles for a Mission
"We are gaining momentum for our 10th Annual Miles for a Mission Race! It will be virtual (Sep 19-25) AND in person (Sept. 25) with our famous Dogapalooza. Your help is needed to make this our best MFM. Please sign up to participate in the race and / or donate at the site: https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/CT/Stamford/MilesforaMission
Send the link to your friends and family - this will certainly help get us to our goal! Thanks for your help and support."
