​Faith Formation for Children 
Every Sunday morning at 10:30  Church school has a dedicated staff that will welcome your children with joy and love. Classes begin just after the beginning of the 10:30 service, and your kids will return to the sanctuary for communion.  We help kids to know God, to listen to God, to find God in Scripture, and to feel God's presence.

Adult Formation

Sunday 9:15 am
We gather for conversation and fellowship as we learn about God through Scripture, nature, experience, and in our life in community at St. Francis. Topics vary by season.

​Serving Others

Coffee 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!

In the narthex after 8 am service, in the parish hall after 10:30 am service, in the narthex after 12:30 pm service.

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 Worship

Readers

 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 Interim Rector

Welcome to St. Francis Episcopal Church!
If you visit us on Sunday (and I hope you do), you will be greeted by an usher who will give you a bulletin. Worship in the Episcopal Church is participatory: we pray together, gathering to give praise to God.
All are welcome! You don’t need to be an Episcopalian, or even a Christian – inquiring hearts may find a place here. We are old and young, straight and gay, married and unmarried. Some of us have worshipped here for years; others a few months.
Babies are welcome in the main service, or in the staffed nursery. Children are welcomed to Sunday School for their own age-appropriate examination of Scripture, and then come into the sanctuary to partake of Holy Communion.
The principal Sunday worship is Holy Eucharist, aka Mass, aka Holy Communion. (Our double roots in English Catholicism and in the Reformation mean we have a lot of names for things.) We listen to readings from Scripture, and a short sermon. We then pray the thanksgiving prayer that dates from the very early days of the Christian church, and receive bread and wine that are to us the body and blood of Christ. You are welcome to receive communion, or to come to the altar for a blessing if you are more comfortable with that.
After the service, you will be welcomed to coffee hour (with juice for the little ones). Announcements during the service may invite you to participate in one of the many ministries of the congregation. We may be gathering clothes for homeless neighbors; we may be sewing baby quilts for a local medical clinic; we may be checking in with friends at lunch.
If you have any questions about the Episcopal Church in general, or St. Francis in particular, I hope you will reach out to me. I would love to hear your story.
Jaime Sanders, Interim Rector.
