We’re thankful that you could join us for worship today, and we pray God blesses you in your time here. The service is printed in your bulletin. If youhave any questions don’t hesitate to ask someone around you!
 St. Francis Church
we want to encourage families to worship together. In order tobe a community where all ages feel welcome, we provide coloring materials for children
to use during worship and seek to understand the specic gifts and challenges that 
children bring. We encourage you, should you feel comfortable doing so, to sit toward the front with your children, as little-ones are often more attentive if they can see what ishappening.That being said, we understand that there may be times when it is best to takeadvantage of child care, which we have available in the room immediately through the Kitchen off of the entryway.
 In Preparation for worship:
We invite you to take a few moments before the servicebegins to be still, and rest from the business of your lives. Take time to breathe deeply,
and reect upon the past week. When you’re ready, you might say the following prayer 
or one like it in preparation for worship.
O Almighty God, who pours out on all who desire it the spirit of grace and of supplication: Deliver us, when we draw near to you, from coldness of heart and wanderings of mind, that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections we may worship you in spirit and in truth; though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
