    COFFEE WITH A COLLAR

    Join a member of our clergy for casual, open conversation over coffee. This informal gathering is a chance to ask questions about faith, the Episcopal Church, or anything on your mind—no topic is off limits. Contact Lauren Kersting at lauren@stfrancispvb.org for more information.

    WIRED WORD

    Each Sunday between services in the Youth Room, this group explores current events through the lens of Scripture and faith. It’s a thought-provoking way to connect what’s happening in the world with what God is doing in our lives. Contact Lauren Kersting at lauren@stfrancispvb.org for more information.

  • Open book with handwritten notes and a black pen resting on it, placed on a dark surface, with a blurred background of a bookshelf filled with colorful books.

    Soul Sisters meet the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. This gathering offers women a time of fellowship, spiritual reflection, and mutual encouragement in a relaxed evening setting. Contact Lauren Kersting at lauren@stfrancispvb.org for more information.

    SUNDAY CLERGY FORUM

    Between services on Sunday mornings in the Parish Hall, a member of our clergy leads a discussion on topics of faith, theology, and the Christian life. This is a great way to go deeper in your understanding of the Episcopal tradition. Contact Lauren Kersting at lauren@stfrancispvb.org for more information.

    MEN'S BIBLE STUDY

    The Men’s Bible Study meets on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm as we engage the scriptures with Fr. Justin and Pastor Kevin.  Our hope is to engage in thoughtful dialogue as we dig deep into the biblical text. No preparation is needed and if you do not own a Bible we will provide one for you and ultimately help you purchase the version that feeds your spiritual curiosity.

    The Daughters of the King is an order for women who commit to a life of prayer, service, and evangelism. Members support one another and the parish through a disciplined rule of life grounded in daily prayer. Contact Lauren Kersting at lauren@stfrancispvb.org for more information
