Being bearers of the Blood of Christ, theirs is a servant ministry devoted to Christ Who is in our midst. This ministry is open to confirmed communicants in good standing. It also requires licensing through the Diocese of West Texas, and regular training by the priest in charge of the parish.

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.
