Military Outreach

Bring your donations by January 2
Support Mothers and Children at Camp Pendleton.

Our Military Outreach program, led by Susie Zimmerman, and with the generous support of many of you, has a long tradition of packing gift boxes for military deployed overseas.

In recent times the number of deployed military has decreased, so we are happy to announce that we have a new Outreach cause – Camp Pendleton Mothers and Children.

Did you know? The camp has 10,000 children under the age of 5! Most of these families arrive with very few possessions, and are on low incomes.

What they need: new and gently used baby, child and household items for young families
In particular: diapers (lots of them!!), baby and young children’s clothing, toys, books bathtubs, strollers, cribs, dishes, cookware, meal preparation tools, bedding and gift cards (Target and Walmart).

When do we need it? Please drop off any items you can contribute by Sunday January 2.
Questions? Email Susie.

Taizé Service of Wholeness and Healing

Tuesday, February 22, 7:00pm

Our Taizé service for January has been cancelled, but we hope we will be able to meet again in Februrary for an evening of contemplative music and prayer in our candlelit chapel beginning at 7:00pm and wrapping up with a reception on our heated chapel patio or in our Board Room, depending on weather.
Come let the Peace of this Service of Wholeness & Healing wash over you, then join us for light refreshments afterwards! Any questions, please email or call Kristina Pelá 310-941-2498.

YOU are important!

The Annual Meeting of St Francis Parish is all of Us

On January 30th, after the 10am Sunday worship, (exact time TBD), we shall gather for the annual business and review of our parish. We elect a new Vestry Class. We elect Delegates and Alternates to the Diocesan Convention. We hear reports from our clergy and lay leadership. We review the operating budget approved by the Vestry and share in the vision of a new year.

In Need of Prayer?

St. Francis has a strong prayer ministry. During our Sunday services we read aloud the names of those who are sick or in any kind of acute or serious trouble.
In addition, a team of members of the congregation pray daily and confidentially for any who request help.

If you have a request, please contact The Rev. Jerry Sather.
