Welcome to St. Francis at the Point!

Our ministry is to welcome one and all to worship God in Spirit and

Truth according to His Holy Word. Our mission is to grow the parishby sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving the spiritual needs

of the people we touch by preserving, promoting and operating

within our traditional Anglican heritage. We believe The HolyScriptures to be the Word of God, inerrant infallible andauthoritative for the holy Catholic Church. The 1928 Book of

Common Prayeris the historic expression of the faith of ourProtestant forefathers as established in 1549, further revised in 1662

and 1789.We offer you the chance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ

in peace, honor and dignity.

Pari sh Prayer:A Prayer attributed to St. FrancisLord, make us instruments of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow

love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; wherethere is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness,

light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seektobe consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be

loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning thatwe are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
