Introducing Our
New Rector

Ministries

It is with full faith in the working of the Spirit and fully happy hearts that we members of the vestry tell you that the Rev. Brendan Barnicle has been called by unanimous consent as the fifth rector of St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church! This fine priest is a strong leader and an elegant preacher, and we and the Search Committee and Vestry believe that he is exactly the right rector to work with us toward what God would have us do. We will begin to see him among us soon, and he will celebrate and preach the first time with us on August 18^th. We are blessed by his gifts of life experience, love of God and the church, strong local roots, and generous spirit. Let’s go forth, rejoicing!

Adult Formation 

Please join us on Sunday mornings at 9:15 am for conversations about the lessons for Sundays. Please bring a bulletin or Bible with you or grab a Bible from the library. We’ll hope for coffee and goodies from our 8:00 am-worshipping friends - they deliver!

This summer, you are also invited to come to Woodburn on Thursday evenings, July 18, July 25, and August 1 for relaxation and conversations about the Psalms!

We’ll sit in the garden (or in the living room if it’s hot!), have refreshments and just enjoy each other’s company. The nights will be warm and light, the citronella candles will be burning, and you will be most welcome! Come to 8343 Carson Ct. (97071) at 7:00 pm and stay as long as you like. The lawn chairs and refreshments (and William Countryman’s Conversations with Scripture: The Psalms) will be waiting for you. If you’d like to have your own book, it’s available on www.amazon.com and www.churchpublishing.com.
