Sunday March 14th
Outreach Fair at Coffee Hour

To assist those parishioners who want to give
of themselves to the community in outreach,
St. Francis of Assisi will hold an "Outreach Fair"
during the coffee hour. Parishioners who volunteer in various community service organizations will be at tables with information, and explain the ways they serve as well as other opportunities available. There will also be some new projects through St. Francis for parishioners to participate in our outreach ministry.

"Christ has no hands but ours."
Saint Teresa of Avila

Monthly Scheduled Activities

Men's Fellowship Dinners - these are typically held the second Monday of each month. A brief time of prayer in the church at 6 p.m. precedes dinner in the Parish Hall. A collection is taken for the cost of the meal. Sign up in the Parish Hall or just come and join the group. The food is prepared by the men who volunteer for the Men's Supper Team.

Wednesday Evening Supper and Services - the Parish family is invited to meet for dinner at 6 p.m., usually on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Dinner is followed by Holy Eucharist at 7 p.m. and a service of Healing. These are great opportunities for fellowship and worship.
