The St. Francis Youth Group exists to give our high school aged youth an opportunity to come together in a safe and relaxed setting so they can grow, connect with God, connect with each other and serve people in need.
The purpose of this course is to educate and encourage those who have engaged, or wish to engage, on a more profound exploration of personal spiritual practice, by providing an introduction to select resources and tools that aid in developing a deeper relationship with the God of the Scriptures. The aims and goals of this study include:
* to gain knowledge of one's own spiritual character
* to explore the intent of Christian spiritualily
* to encounter a limited set of potential spiritual practices
* to examine the spiritual tools of the Episcopal tradition
* to develop a "Rule of Life"
Fellowship Dinner is a great way to get to know new and existing members of St. Francis, while having dinner in a small friendly setting at someone's home.
This year we are trying a new format for the dinners. We have set a SINGLE DATE of Saturday, November 3rd for ALL the dinners. Parishioners can sign up as a guest or to host a dinner. Once the groups have been assigned, the process is unchanged, and is described below:
The host of the group will coordinate the specifics for the dinner in their home:
• Set the time
• Provide the main dish
• Determine what the other guests will bring (salad, side dish, dessert, or wine).
The host can invite an additional guest or two to join them - a new member or anyone they would like to know better - however many the host would like.
A sign-up sheet will be in the Narthex in mid-September.

The guest speaker for the Brown Bag lunch is George Ehrgott, who will share his experiences traveling through the Northeast Passage. Bring your lunch and join us! Beverages and dessert are provided.
