18. For our Country - BCP page 820
 
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There is a need for weekend food for the children of Boones Ferry Primary School. The counselor has contacted us and asked for our Backpack Buddies program to restart.
We will have our first sorting day on January 12, Tuesday at 3:00 pm; and the packing day on January 13, Wednesday at 10:00 am.
I need volunteers to help both days, please. If you can help financially, that would be an extra blessing.
Thank you, Linda Tasker

In the past several years, during the season of Lent, we were all given a charming little booklet, with meditations for each day of Lent. The entries consisted of original prose and poems, as well as submissions of favorite poems, psalms, Bible passages, uplifting thoughts, points to ponder, and children’s artwork. The entries came from us-- from our wonderful, talented St. Francis parishioners, from young and old, and drew us closer together for our Lenten journey.
 
We need your submissions in order to do this! If possible, please submit digitally to the church office saintfranciswilsonville@gmail.com

Ash Wednesday is February 17, 2021 but the entries must be in by Wednesday, February 10.

Start your thinking and send in your pearls of wisdom and your jewels of thoughts, as soon as possible. *Names on the submissions are optional*
Many Thanks! Jane Domagalski (503-266-9440)
