Welcome to St. Francis at the Point! Our ministry is to welcome one and all to worship God in Spirit and Truth according to His Holy Word. Our mission is to grow the parish by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving the spiritual needs of the people we touch by preserving, promoting and operating within our traditional Anglican heritage. We believe The Holy Scriptures to be the Word of God, inerrant infallible and authoritative for the holy Catholic Church. The 1928 Book of Common Prayer is the historic expression of the faith of our Protestant forefathers as established in 1549, further revised in 1662 and 1789.We offer you the chance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ in peace, honor and dignity. Parish Prayer :A Prayer attributed to St. Francis Lord, make us instruments of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek tobe consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
