STEWARDSHIP OF TIME

DRIVE BEGINS THIS WEEKEND

This year’s parish theme is Perfect Love Drives Out Fear. This is incredibly appropriate as we continue to navigate unprecedented paths to create a “normal life” amidst a pandemic along with fear and division in our country. Our desire at St. Francis is to fortify and nurture the faith of every member of your family, so we can live as people of faith, hope and joy, despite the troubles in our world. Please check out this year’s Stewardship of Time brochure titled What is Your Path to a Fearless Life? linked below. Explore the offerings, many of which are available both in-person and online, and consider which step(s) you’ll take to begin your path to a fearless life! Learn more and register at stfrancisparish.churchcenter.com or by contacting the parish office.

KICKING OFF THIS WEEKEND!

Calling all MOMS...we could use a little timeout right now. The beginning of school, and the added pressures of the times are upon us. Let's get together with our friends and have some time to stop and reevaluate with God. Cindy Bauman will present on the topic of "Prayer of Presence" and we'll have quiet reflection and time to journal. We hope to see you there!!! Click below to register!

PASSING THE VIRTUAL OFFERTORY BASKET

We really need everyone to make an ongoing pledge to support our mission. Electronic giving is currently the most consistent way to give, safest and most reliable. Will you consider how you can help us during this time?

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) - MOST RECOMMENDED - For reoccurring gifts, you can set up automatic debit to one’s bank account or charges to one’s credit card. Please fill out this Offertory Commitment Form to set up recurring payments.
One-Time Online Donation If you normally donate by envelopes or the basket, we have set up a link to donate online with a one-time donation by credit card. Click here to complete the form. You may use this link as often as you like.
Text-to-Give Another option is through our new TEXT-to-GIVE number. Donate simply by texting SFDS to 740.240.6093. You can also use this in place of your normal offertory basket giving.
US Mail If you would like to continue using your envelopes, please mail your contribution into the parish office at 40 Granville Street, Newark, OH 43055. Checks are preferred as cash is not a safe or secure way to fulfill your offertory through the mail.
