While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." (Acts 13:2)

This is an exciting time for all members of St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church. As we God's movement in our lives, the St. Francis Mission Team is preparing for a new calling. A number of youth and adults will be traveling to David, Kentucky (June 8-13). Another group will travel to the Dominican Republic from June 21 - June 29.  We’ll be building relationships through leading Vacation Bible School in the morning and work projects in the afternoon. This is an opportunity for all of us to be involved in spreading the word of God, helping our fellow man and realizing our calling to Jesus.

Many of you have asked how you can help in our preparations for both Missions. Fundraising efforts are underway with several different opportunities planned for the winter and spring for you to help out. The Mission Team will also be asking parishioners to partner with them in prayer. If you are asked to be a Mission Prayer Partner, please consider this as your way of supporting our Mission. Your participation in these important preparations is not only appreciated, but also necessary.

We want all those St. Francis parishioners who are called to mission work to have the opportunity to do so. Those who have answered this call in the past to mission work to those who need it, whether they’re across the state or across the sea have found it a very rewarding experience. As we will be the hands and feet, you are the body of St. Francis in the Fields.
