Dawn R's Reflection: Themes of Les Mis

Have you seen the musical Les Misérables on Broadway or at a traveling show? I first saw it in college when my RA ran a bus trip to NYC. I didn't know what to expect but was blown away. Since that time, I have seen the show about fifteen times with the last time being in New Haven in June.

Communion Beyond Church: Volunteer to be a St. Francis LEV

One of the most beautiful and foundational lay ministries at St. Francis is serving as a Lay Eucharistic Visitor (LEV). LEVs bring Holy Communion blessed in community during Sunday worship to parishioners who are unable to join us, carrying not only the precious sacrament but also the prayers, love, and presence of the entire community. It is a ministry of compassion, connection, and hope that reminds our homebound friends they remain a vital part of the Body of Christ. If you feel called to this ministry, we'd love to welcome you. Our next LEV training will take place over breakfast on the second Saturday, Sept. 12. If you would like to learn more or explore whether this ministry is right for you, please contact Rev. Joe or Cathy Ostuw.
