For those who live in Holden and are connected through the Holden Water/Sewer system there is a water ban in place until further notice.  This will affect the appearance of the Memorial Garden and watering system. There may be hand watering only until the ban is lifted.

Choir rehearsals will begin on Sunday, September 11th at 8:30 a.m. in the choir room.  If you are interested in joining the choir please come and join us. 

• The Church School program is available for children who are in preschool (age 3 by September 1st) through grade 5.
• Registration forms need to be completed on all students, even if they are not new to the program, since these forms are given to this year's teachers.
• A notice with room assignments will be available on the registration table.

Dear Ms Webb,

This letter is long overdue. I just wanted to let you and our St. Francis family know that the care package certainly did not go to waste.  After a few long underways, myself and my shipmates have used just about everything you had sent us.  The M&M's didn't last very long.  The mints were great for those long watches in combat.  Combat is the dark room with the computer screens that you see in the movies.  The hand sanitizer went a long way and was much needed.  I would walk around the ship with a bottle of it always available.  The Nature Valley bars were great after a long day of Search and Rescue exercises. 

  

Thank you,
