St. Francis’ on the Road

Learn about Islam from Imam Hasic Following the worship service on June 20, we’re visiting an Is-
lamic Center. Imam Hasic will educate us on the religion of Islam and what it’s like to be a practicing Muslim in
our city. If you’d like, you are invited to stay for the 1 p.m. prayer service.

United Hebrew Congregation Visit Following the worship service on June 27, we’ll drive to the United
Hebrew Congregation (Conway Rd. and Highway 141) for the Adult Forum. Rabbi Kaplansky of United Hebrew
Congregation has agreed to host us, showing us the beautiful worship space and Torah scroll that his Reform Jew-
ish congregation use. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about our Jewish brethren from their
learned and charming Rabbi.

Out of Town and Need a Priest?

A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from a woman in St. Luke’s Hospital. She said she was
from New Jersey, was having a medical operation that day, and needed an Episcopal priest. While this isn’t an
unheard of request, planning ahead is a good idea.
If you’re scheduled to travel to another city to have an operation, please let me know. I can arrange for a
priest of that Diocese to visit you while you’re in the hospital. And if you find yourself in another city in a hospi-
tal unexpectedly needing a priest, please call me. I will arrange for a visit from an Episcopal priest in that location.

Pentecost
On Pentecost Sunday, May 23, St.
Francis’ celebrated the gift of the Holy Spirit
and the birth of the Church. Tim Booker
waved a banner symbolizing the tongues of
fire of the Holy Spirit as we processed into the
worship space. The reading from Acts told us
that people heard their own native tongue as
Peter spoke, quoting the Book of Joel. We
heard that Joel passage spoken in German by
Brigitte Jung, in Chinese by Michael Booker, in Japanese
by Cassie Eckhardt, in Latin by Kathleen McDonald, in
Spanish by Linsey Daman, in French by Suzanne Jones,
and finally in English. (See the pictures.) The congrega-
tion wore red in honor of the Holy Spirit’s presence
among us. We even had red treats following the service.

Schnucks eScrip Customer Card

Every month our bank statement shows a few dollars in income from parishioners’
participation in the Schnucks donation program. But — it could be much better. You
can add to the income of St Francis’ by getting an automatic contribution based on pur-
chases you make at Schnucks and perhaps other merchants. It takes a little bit to get
started, but after that it is quick and easy.
Here’s what to do:
 Pick up a card at Schnucks.
 Register your Schnucks eScrip customer card for use in the program, by naming St.
Francis’ as the recipient.
 Schnucks and other participating merchants will make a contribution to St. Francis’ based on purchases made
by you when you present this card.
You can register your card by calling 1-800 931-6258 or online at www.escrip.com

A Thought about Stewardship

Stewardship always starts with a repentant
heart, a change of mind concerning our
opinion about earthly values.
– John A. Knight
