Each Sunday Morning a nursery/children's church is offered to our youngest members of the congregation. Children are welcomed in our church service, however the nursery/children's church is offered to those parents who prefer that their children not attend the entire service.
MUSIC MINISTRY
Music is a ministry and speaks to the heart and soul of those that participate and to those who are blessed to be in the congregation. St Francis has an all volunteer adult choir that sings at the 10:30 Sunday morning service. The choir rehearses weekly on Thursday evening @ 6:45p.m. and briefly on Sunday morning.more »
HEALING/PRAYER MINISTRY
The Healing and prayer ministries at St.Francis are quite extensive. The Daughter's of the King is a woman's prayer ministry. The group pray for the needs of the congregation and members brought before them for prayer. They meet once a month on the third Saturday of the month. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is a men's prayer ministry, their ministry is the same as the Daughters and is the male counterpart of Daughter's of the King. The Order of St. Luke is a group of people who have studied the Healing miracles of Jesus Christ and believe that He heals the same today as He did when He walked the earth. The OSL pray for the needs of the corporate community during the Wednesday evening Healing Service and Sunday mornings during communion. They meet each Wednesday afternoon at 5:15. The Ministry Team is also a group of prayer warriors who exercise the gifts of the Spirit. They pray before and during ministry time at the 6:00 Sunday evening service as well as Sunday mornings. They meet monthly on the first Sunday at 4:30.
Inner healing ministry or sometimes known as "Healing of Memories" is offered at St. Francis. Inner healing refers to the healing of past emotional hurts and incidences that may effect our lives. These "hurts" may have left you with emotional pain, trauma, insecurities and
perhaps unforgiveness. It is our firm belief that Jesus heals the same today as He did yesterday and will in our future. Through specific prayer, in the Holy Spirit, Jesus makes Himself known in the past circumstances and brings healing through His love and mercy. Inner healing focuses on the promises of God for you and restores and proclaims who you are, and always have been, in Christ, rebuking the lies of the enemy from your mind, will, and emotions. Inner healing appointments should be set up through our clergy.
Or better known at St. Francis as Same Boat. A group of men and women meet monthly and share a meal, friendship and laughter. The group meets at 5:00 on the third Friday of the month.
GREETING CARD MINISTRY
This is a quiet ministry of love and all members are welcome to be a part of. Sending get well cards, birthday or anniversary cards to our winter parishioners or a "thinking of you" card to a "pew mate" who is missing. This ministry puts a smile on the face of the recipient as well as blesses the sender.
You will find at St. Francis that getting together for fellowship, fun and food is something that happens often. We have a wonderful group of parishioners that are called to this ministry. Hospitality is their middle name. Coffee/fellowship hour happens each Sunday between the services around 9:15. There is a first Sunday Breakfast, Newcomers dinners quarterly and many other events throughout the year.
