Stephen Ministry at St. Francis
Our plans to begin Stephen Ministry at St. Francis have begun and several of our members are discerning their call to this specialized pastoral ministry. We’ll be accepting applications until February 1, and hope to begin training by the first week of March. You can help, even if you are not called to be a Stephen Minister, by praying daily for this ministry, for those who will be part of it, and for the lives that will be changed because of it. If you were unable to attend the meeting and would like to know more about Stephen Ministry, please contact Judi Gustafson (828-395-1825) or Mother Chris (828-287-3888 x2).
Easter Baptisms at St. Francis
For the first time in recent years, we’ll begin our celebration of Easter with the Great Vigil on Holy Saturday evening (April 4). This first service of Easter is the perfect time for baptisms, and is one of the days specified by the church for that purpose. If you or a member of your family would like to be baptized on this occasion, please contact Mother Chris+ at rector@stfrancisrutherfordton.org or by phone at 828-287-3888 x-2.
