All that we have and all that we are comes from the goodness and love of God. St Francis invites all those who regularly worship with us to consider how they can respond to God's generosity and contribute to the ministry of the church. This past year has been difficult for us all, in so many ways. Our mission and ministry have never felt more needed, and even when the church doors have been closed, our community has been actively working to support those in need. Over the past year we have been able to hold services online, open the building for private prayer as restrictions allowed, support the local foodbank, and support those who are ill or grieving.
Everything that happens through St Francis is only possible because of your generosity; our Sunday services, Bereavement support group, Monthly lunches, and much more. Please consider how you can support our mission and ministry by giving financially. Thank you for your generosity, every gift makes a difference.
