True Thanks Giving of the Season
We wish to send a heartfelt thank you to Joan Lobasso who has once again brought her time, talent, and treasure to St. Francis and has given our church this beautiful autumn display.
The Sanctuary is artfully filled with lovely reminders of this special season: harvest, abundance, and great thanks given to our Lord. God bless you, Joan and thanks!

A Loving Parent
There’s a core Jewish teaching: Never go to bed angry. It’s also standard advice to married couples. In Psalm 103, God’s posture is that of a loving parent: “slow to anger, and abounding in kindness,” no matter how much we disappoint.
