Food for Thought. . .
Betsy Adam’s reflection from the July 3rd Sermon at 8 AM Worship Service

I want to share with you a little meditation on prayer, which I confess is not new, but newly edited and updated last night. It seemed appropriate then to dwell a bit on the subject of prayer and seems so even more today during this one-off Sunday Morning Prayer liturgy in the Historic Church early on this Sabbath day.

The original version of this meditation came to me the night before I last led Morning Prayer, which was on a Thursday when Mark was away back in August of 2020. 
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”. New Covenant Center (NCC) is the one we're featuring this month. Please click this link to read about the organization & view a video of John Gutman, Executive Director of NCC.
Miles for a Mission
We have started planning for our 10th Annual Miles for a Mission Race! It will be both virtual (Sep 19-25) AND in person (Sep 25). The Dogapalooza will be back as well. More details will continue to be distributed. You can sign up to participate in the race and / or donate at the site:
