June 15-18

Children will enjoy a fun and faith-filled week of music, games, Bible stories, crafts, and hands-on activities as they grow in their faith and friendships. Our theme scripture reminds us, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, NRSV). We cannot wait to welcome your family for this exciting week!

What a joy it has been during the past three years to watch Emma directing the choir, children’s music, and handbell ensemble with energy, creativity, and an unwavering passion for music ministry. We are grateful for her love of the Lord, inspirational leadership, and dedication to St. Francis UMC.

Although Emma has decided to step away from her position as Director of Traditional Music, she plans to continue worshipping with us on Sunday mornings. Rather than saying “goodbye” to Emma, we will be saying “thank you” to her with a summer supper hosted by the Chancel Choir. We hope you will join us in the Pavilion on Sunday, June 28, at 5:00 pm for food, fun, and fellowship.

Get ready to make a splash! All youth are invited to join us for a fun-filled Pool Party as we give a special welcome to our rising 6th graders. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends, reconnect after the summer, and kick off an exciting year of youth ministry together.

Come enjoy swimming, games, food, laughter, and plenty of time to hang out with friends. Be sure to bring your towel, sunscreen, and a great attitude for an afternoon of summer fun! We can’t wait to welcome our newest youth members and celebrate together at the pool!

Join us for a sweet summer celebration at Sundae Sunday! Kids and families are invited to enjoy an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and delicious ice cream sundaes with all the toppings. This is a great opportunity to connect with friends, make new memories, and celebrate the joy of summer together.

Bring your sweet tooth and invite a friend! We can’t wait to see you there for this fun-filled summer treat!

We’re excited to begin rolling out Tithely, a new platform that will help us simplify our systems, reduce costs, and modernize how we stay connected as a church. Here’s a quick look at how the transition will unfold over the next few months.

Online Giving Comes First (Now–May)

The first change you’ll notice is our move to Tithely Giving. This will replace our current online giving system. We’ll share simple instructions on how to start using the new giving page and how to move any recurring gifts you may have set up. More information coming soon.

Sundays, 9:15 – 9:55 am

Each Sunday, we gather for fellowship and reflection of the sermon text with Lectio Divina, a holy reading. Please come around 9 for coffee and fellowship and join one of worship warm-up group for your deep understanding of the Word. All are welcome and invited!

Bring your donated food to the altar for our neighbors in need!

As we head into a new season, we're looking for more caring hearts and helping hands to support our nursery and children's church. If you love kids and want to make a lasting impact, this is a beautiful way to pour into the next generation. Whether you can help weekly or once a month, we’d love to have you on the team!

Interested? Contact Jennie Parker, Director of Children’s Ministries, at children@stfrancischarlotte.org.
