Our prayers are with all those victims of the flooding in Texas, and those whose loved ones are lost or missing:
O God, our times are in your hand. In the midst of uncertainty lead us by your never-failing grace as we seek to be agents of healing and hope. Walk with us through difficult times; watch over us in danger; and give to us a spirit of love and compassion for those who suffer and mourn. And finally remind us that you have promised never to leave us so that even in the valley of the shadow of death your love may be felt, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

If you are interested in getting together to pray publicly at the church, please be in touch with Charlean Smith.

(Prayer written by the Rev. Lyndon Harris, from the Episcopal Diocese of New York disaster preparedness plan.)

The new St. Francis of the Islands website is now live! You can check it out here:

Coming to a new place isn’t easy, we know, but here on the islands, we try to make it as low-stress as possible. On Sundays, you’ll see some people in suits and dresses, some folks in shorts (even sometimes the priest), and some in something in between. Our worship is reverent but not fussy. We ...
