Grab coffee or tea, sit down, and read this summary report of the good things God has done over 2021 and our hopes for 2022!

On November 8 we will sing “Awake, my heart, and render” together which was originally penned in German by Paulus Gerhardt (1607-1676). Gerhardt was a Lutheran minister and prolific hymn writer (read more about him here). In this blog post (and there will be more like this one), we wanted to introduce you to the new hymn by giving you a recording and a coloring sheet (which you can download here) with the lyrics. That way you have the opportunity to worship with this new song up through Sunday Nov 8 and beyond!

In the weeks and months to come, we will begin a series of short articles answering common questions that people ask about the Franconia-Springfield Mission and about the nature of Anglicanism more broadly. Today we will look at how praying written prayers can become a tool for the Holy Spirit to fashion us into the image of Christ. The question is this: Are we being faithful and authentic by praying written prayers?
