Loading...Special Music on Sunday: we are delighted to have Harv and EJ Wileman with us on Sunday for special music during offertory and communion.
Please note: due to the small print on the Venite, there will be several large-print booklets available for Sunday’s worship services.
On Sunday, October 18 at 2:00 pm, the Katie Lamb Public Library in Collegedale will have its “Emily McDonald Local Author Series”. This is in memory of Emily, who was a former parishioner here at St. Francis.
Sunday, November 1 is All Saints Sunday. A sign-up sheet is in the Narthex if you have loved ones who have died and would like their names included in the liturgy. This service will include a Healing Liturgy.
Delayed: Our visit to bring dinner to Hosanna Community on Tuesday, October 27 at 5:30 will be delayed. We will let you know as soon as possible our new date for this important outreach.
Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with partners to support people affected by Hurricane Isaias. While the full extent of the damage is still unfolding, Episcopal Relief & Development is coordinating with local diocesan and congregational leaders across the Gulf Coast region as they work to mobilize local assets and ministries to respond to those in immediate need.
The Hurricane Response Fund provides critical support for both urgent emergency relief and long-term recovery. Please consider making a gift by visiting episcopalrelief.org to donate and learn more.
