Summer Happenings at St. Francis and Beyond
Worship and Brunch
While the Adult Education Class goes on hiatus for the summer, our weekly Sunday worship at 9:30 a.m., of course, continues. Featuring Pastor Tom’s thoughtful and inspirational sermons, the service highlights the Episcopal Church’s lovely blend of lyrical prayers, eloquent liturgy, and reverent hymns.
Coffee, donuts, and conversation follow the service, and the Second Sunday Brunches offer another opportunity for food and fellowship (bringing a dish is always optional!).
St. Francis' Summer Calendar:
June 23: The Rev. Walter Dawson will lead the service this Sunday while Pastor Tom is off. Please join us in making Rev. Walter and his wife Laura welcome.
