Welcome to Saint Francis!
Grace and Peace in the
name of Jesus Christ! Saint Francis is a
dynamic and grounded community serving Christ and the
surrounding area through acts of worship, compassion, and
teaching. We encourage a sense of belonging and mutual service
within our fellowship. Family, youth and children's ministries;
short and long-term educational opportunities; and meaningful
worship are all part of our life together.
Wherever you are in your life, or
whatever interests you may have, we have a place for you at
Saint Francis.

Children's Lenten Offering:
This year we are supporting the Sanyu Babies Orphanage in Uganda.
Our offering will go towards the purchase of Mosquito
Nets to help prevent Malaria as well as other supplies needed by
Sanyu. Nana & Maya Okoboi
are serving as our ambassadors to deliver our offering and
provide us with information and updates about the orphanage.
We are excited about joining together with our former
members in this effort.
If you would like to participate, you can pick up an offering
box in Lisa’s office.
Offerings will be collected during Worship on Easter Sunday.
