And remember! Clocks go back this weekend.
You get an extra hour in bed before coming to worship, remember and give thanks for the Saints who have gone before us!

Teen groups - note CRASH! will meet as usual 4-6pm on Sunday; there will be a special meeting for eMERGE (High School) at 11:30am in the Youth Corner. See you there...!

Cottage meetings are small group meetings in informal settings, to talk about our priorities as a parish.  

   

So please sign up now and join the conversation about what we can do as a parish to help this ministry grow. This comes with Love,

Let us pray for the soul of Sandy Felando, long and faithful St Francis parishioner, who died Tuesday night in the hospital of a cardiac arrest and complications. She is survived by her son, John, who is taking this very hard, and her sister Susie Allen of our parish and family.
The service to celebrate her life is planned for Saturday, November 9, at 11am in our chapel.

Our Godly Play classroom is in need of some new materials to tell our stories. We need help cutting paper and felt, painting small wooden figures, even sculpting Mt. Sinai. This is the same night as the Egg Boil, so if you are bringing your son or daughter to it, please stay and make something sacred! Everyone at St. Francis is welcome. Light snacks provided! Email Kate Buchen with questions.

Mystery Gift Booth! Can you donate an item?
Among many other wonderful attractions, the Kris Kringle Faire will be featuring a Mystery Gift Booth! A wonderful opportunity for shoppers to choose a pre-wrapped mystery gift with a value of at least $20.00. Some gifts may be worth more! Chance and choice will make this a fun experience. We would love your donated items to offer for sale. Please bring wrapped gifts of $20 and higher value to the parish office, and include a brief description of the item on the bottom of the wrapped gift eg. "heirloom china plate", or "$20.00 Best Buy gift certificate". Thank you so much in advance! Contact Esther Zellen 310-984-4663 with any questions.
