Blessing of School Supplies
Sunday, August 31, 2025
📍 St. Francis Episcopal Church, Menomonee Falls
St. Francis parishioners once again came together to collect and bless school supplies for local students and teachers. Partnering with the social worker at Ben Franklin Elementary School, this long-standing ministry provides encouragement and resources at the start of the school year.
Every contribution makes a difference, and we give thanks for the generosity of all who helped support local children and educators in our community.
Thanks for a Blessed Gathering
📍 Christ Church, The Episcopal Church of Chequamegon Bay – Bayfield, WI
This past Sunday, Christ Church was truly blessed with beautiful weather, a thoughtful and meaningful service led by Rear Admiral Rev. Peter Muschinske, and warm fellowship among friends and family.
The gathering was a joyful reminder of God’s presence in community and creation. We give thanks for all who came together to worship and share in this special day. Praise God! ✝️
