Children and Youth Spaces 

Please click here to read a most important thank you letter from Mo. Paula! 

 

 

We will be kicking off our new program year with a brand new event, including a ministry fair, blessing of the new Nursery, Sunday School and Youth Space, and of course, no St Francis event is complete without plenty of food and fun!
And for the kids - bounce house, cotton candy, balloon lady -
they will not want you to miss this! 

Mother Paula has painted another one of her masterpieces for our St. Francis Art and Wine night.  It is entitled "Time for Grapes."  She has graciously donated the painting to be used in a raffle.  The tickets are one for $20 or three for $50.  There will only be 100 tickets sold.  Consider buying a ticket (or three!).  Tickets will be sold after both services, and the night of the event.  You will be helping to raise funds for the church, and you might just be the lucky winner.  The drawing will take place on the night of the event. 
You don't have to be present to win.  Good luck and have fun!
Bring your pocket-book to church this Sunday and grab your tickets before they go!
