We are still here and we are still the church! Lots of ministry is happening every day, even though it looks a bit different these days. The St. Francis community continues to support people near and far: anyone who is hungry can knock at the church door and receive food. On Sunday mornings we hand out freshly prepared bagged meals while observing an abundance of safety measures. We provide pastoral care through phone calls, we hold interactive worship services using a zoom platform, we gather online for Bible Study, we host informational events in support of people's emotional and spiritual health, we hold regular online planning meetings to discern how we can best be God's people in the world, and we support a wide variety of ministries and causes through grants from the St. Francis endowment. http://sflcsf.org/
