SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT St. Francis has resumed in-person Eucharist services at 8:00 am and 10:30 am. Governor Kate Brown announced that beginning December 18, 2020 religious gatherings can not exceed an attendance of 25% of capacity. For St. Francis that is 60 people in the sanctuary and 10 people in the Narthex. For a video describing our re-opening, click here. The 10:30 am service is broadcast live through YouTube and also on Facebook, and can be viewed any time after the live stream. Links are posted on the News page weekly. We are offering drive-up Eucharist after the 10:30 am service. If you would like to watch the service from home, and then receive Holy Communion afterwards, you can drive by St. Francis, and Father Brendan will be honored to give you Communion in your car or in person.

Serving OthersCoffee Hour
A great way to start! What's Sunday morning without fresh coffee? Anyone can sign up to help make the coffee or provide light food for Coffee Hour. It's a simple and beloved ministry! Greeting
Hospitality comes in all forms at St. Francis. If you are an extrovert who loves to welcome people, consider welcoming people to church on Sunday mornings. Additional opportunities to serve on the Hospitality Team are always available. Ushering
Ushers take the hospitality at the front door and bring it into the sanctuary. From passing out bulletins to bringing forward the bread and wine, ushers are an important part of Sunday worship. |
Serving in WorshipReaders
The Liturgy of the Word is our chance to hear and reflect on Scripture together. If you love to read Scripture and would like to share this love with the community, there are opportunities to read every Sunday throughout the year. Acolyting
Whether you are young or young at heart, you can become an acolyte and assist the clergy on Sunday mornings. It takes many hands to bring the Liturgy of the Table to life, and acolytes are an essential part of our shared worship. Eucharistic Ministry
Once the bread and wine have been blessed and consecrated by our priest, they are ready to share with the community. Eucharistic Ministers offer the chalice of wine to everyone seeking communion. It is a sacred and holy service on Sunday morning. |

Letter from our Rector
|
In these particularly challenging times, we know that everyone can use some peace. In a world that is teeming with noise and distraction, St. Francis seeks to be an oasis of peace and a sanctuary of love. We believe that the life and ministry of Jesus Christ calls us into being one community of faith, hope and love. We seek to know Christ, to worship Christ and to serve Christ.
We hope that you might join us on our faith journey. We are a church in which all are welcome and which seeks your input into how we all may grow more fully into the one Body of Christ. Please consider joining us for a Sunday or a season or a lifetime. In order to take the proper health precautions, all our services are online via YouTube and Zoom for the near-term. We hope to gather again in person soon.
Peace & Blessings, Brendan+ |
