Sunday School Will Be on Break in August

In the meantime we sincerely love to see (and hear!) you and your kids in church. Please ask an usher for a copy of the "Sunday Papers" as a worship aid for your child(ren). Nursery care is still available in the library for children aged 3 and under.

Mama Hill's Help and St Luke's Donations

Important note for summer - no donations for Mama Hill for June and July please. She is closed until the Cookies return to school in mid-August.
for our generous donations from Undie Sunday! Fantastic news is they now are very well stocked with women's clothing, so for the present at least, please donate only men's clothing to the bins in the Parish Hall. Thank you again!

Please email, call or text Jayne at 424-477-4349  if you have any questions. Peace and blessings to you and your families.

and don't forget...

Dialogue and Donuts

Confirmation

Here at St Francis on September 27, 2015
On Sunday, September 27, 2015 Bishop Mary Glasspool will be in our parish to celebrate Eucharist with us and administer the sacrament of Confirmation. Any teens (age 14 or older), or adults who wish to find out more please contact Mo. Paula.

'Can Can Canucopia' - Date Change

Now Sunday August 23
Kick up your heels, as the people of St. Francis will once again generously contribute to feeding the families of Mama Hill's Help (and possibly others) by collecting canned food...thus, "Can Can Cornucopia!"
Please look through your own storage and go shopping if necessary, for canned foods that can be easily heated up or eaten right out of the cans. Those tab top cans are PERFECT for this food drive. Mama Hill's Help is closed until mid-August, but food is always needed. Help make possible a meal for a day or two for a needy family or individual...it takes so very little for each of us to make a significant impact on those less fortunate.
(No pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling, please).
Join us in celebrating our ability to do what we can...can...can!

Dinner and a Movie

Contact Mo. Paula

The St. Francis Vestry is very pleased to announce that Bishop Bruno has named Mother Paula as our Priest in Charge Under Special Circumstances (PIC-USC) effective April 1st! This decision initiates a formal mutual discernment period of 12 months to call Mother Paula as our Rector. As always, feel free to contact our Senior Warden Fabrizio, or any Vestry member if you have any questions regarding the Rector transition process. Any Vestry member can be contacted via the church office at 310-375-4617. You can also email Fabrizio directly.
