The summer at Corpus Christi gave me an imagination for the future that is grounded in lived experience. As I helped with administrative tasks, participated in Sunday services and church events, and even got to preach, I found that many of the things that I had dreamt of doing were not only real parts of ministry, but also things that I enjoyed doing.

Beginning in June, we hope to offer nursery for ages 0-3 during the service; it will run from the beginning of the service until the passing of the peace so that the children are back in the service for the Eucharist. From May 9-30, we are collecting items for the nursery.

As we look ahead at our next season of life together at The Franconia-Springfield Mission (Eastertide), our sermons and reflections will focus on the virtue of patience.

Welcome for the first Holy Week ever celebrated by The Franconia-Springfield Mission. It is exciting to be able to have so many opportunities to gather and worship in arguably the most imporant week in the Christian calendar. Here is the schedule. Please check back on this page as we will update it with the RSVP links and other important information as the dates get closer.

We have the right seed, we have prepared the soil, and the next step is to put all the pieces together, to cover the seeds with dirt, water them, and watch something grow. This next step takes a great pastoral team.
