Outreach is defined as reaching out to others and becoming involved in a community efforts of service and justice OUTSIDE or BEYOND our doors.
We are doing this in many ways by hosting food drives for the Springboro Community Assistance Center, giving to Blue Star Mothers & For Love of Children (FLOC), loose change offerings to charitable organizations, and Gift Cards for those in need.

Worship
Worship is an important and central part of any service. Worship can shift your mindset and change your perspective on the world. Worship can push you into your destiny and cleanse you of your past. Worship heals wounds. Worship, lets you hear God and lets God hear you. With that in mind St. Francis is always planning to make worship a better experience for all by looking into services and special events for specific occasions, such as a visit from the Bishop, Pentecost, or Youth Sunday.
The Worship Committee is led by Tom Phillips.
