Prayer Ministries
Prayer Shawl Ministry
People involved in making prayer shawls meet once a month to create shawls and throws that will be blessed and hung on the rack in the Ministry and Outreach Center. Everyone is welcome to give these shawls to anyone who needs comfort, healing, encouragement, or for special events. Bring your project--or just your enthusiasm, and we'll help you start a project! Anyone interested in the prayer shawl ministry is welcome and invited to join us.

Child Care
St. Francis by the Lake would like very much to have a fully staffed nursery to care for the young children who come to visit us. Until the Lord leads someone to undertake this ministry, all children are most welcome to come to our worship. We have resources for young children in the narthex for your use.
