Friendsgiving at St. Francis is a time for us to gather with our church family to give thanks to God for our many blessings and share a holiday meal together. Everyone is welcome to join!
Our Friendsgiving is a classic pot-luck dinner where everyone brings something to share. It is hosted by the LGBT+ and Converge Ministries who will provide the Turkey and the Ham and we ask everyone coming to bring either a side dish or dessert to share (for approximately 8-10 people).
If life is busy or you aren’t adept around the kitchen, don’t let that stop you from joining us. There is an option to donate $20. We want you to attend also!
This is also a BYOB event… feel free to bring your beverage of choice! We will provide soda and water.
Pre-Registration is required for this event. Registration closes on Monday, NOVEMBER 14th at 9:00 PM. Due to the nature of the event, we cannot accept walk-ins the day of the event.
