Little PortionWeek of November 25, 2013

Information Delivery Change ~ We're Trying Something New

Beginning this week the Little Portion will be delivered to you on a weekly basis. In an effort to keep you informed about St. Francis news, programs, and worship we will send out a shorter newsletter with the most up-to-date information on what's coming up.  We hope you will find this format a bit easier to read through.  We also encourage you to go to the website if you have questions about service times, to find ministry schedules, and the calendar.  We will do our best to have up-to-date information available there.  

 

Thanksgiving Eve - Join us this Wednesday Evening, November 27th for a Thanksgiving Eucharist at 7:00 p.m.
 
Advent Begins This Weekend.....Join us for Worship Saturdays at 5:00 p.m./Sundays at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. 
This year we will us a Celtic Liturgy for Advent adapted from the Iona Community in Scotland.

The Iona Community is a dispersed Christian ecumenical community working for peace and social justice, rebuilding of community and the renewal of worship. We are an ecumenical Christian community of men and women from different walks of life and different traditions in the Church engaged together, and with people of goodwill across the world, in acting, reflecting and praying for justice, peace and the integrity of creation; convinced that the inclusive community we seek must be embodied in the community we practice.
