Rectory Work Day
At St. Francis, we want to provide safe, comfortable housing for our rector and the rector’s family, which requires ongoing work. On August 9, several parishioners gathered to do some updates and repairs on the church rectory. This round of work included replacing the guard rails on the back deck to make the deck compliant with building codes, as well as increase the look and comfort of the deck. Structural damage on the front wall was repaired. Knob and tube wiring was remov

Luke 19:1-10 - Sunday Scripture Reflection
We will not gather this week for our Scripture Reflection series due to our other Adult Education Series gathering, but this Scripture for the week is the Gospel reading of the Twenty-six Sunday after Pentecost, which may be found and read by following this link: HERE .

Luke 18:9-14 - Sunday Scripture Reflection
As we gather on this Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, Jesus continues to teach about striving to live a life rooted in humility and gratitude. The story we hear this week is the popular parable story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The story is a parable because the plot twists from the expected righteousness of the Pharisee and the brutality of the Tax Collector to very unexpected sources of pride and humility. Jesus is teaching his followers to not be so quick to ju

Luke 18:1-8 - Sunday Scripture Reflection
As we gather on this Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, we hear Jesus tell his followers of a parable story of a widow, persistent in obtaining her purpose for justice. Similarly, Jesus tells that we must be persistent in our desire to pray to God in order to deepen our relationship with God and strive to obtain the love and justice God intends for us. Prayer can be an often misunderstood and challenging part of our spiritual lives and our connection to God, with so many expe
