You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your might. Keep these words that I
am commanding you today in your heart. Re-
cite them to your children and talk about them
when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down
and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an
emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your
house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:5-9)
In June 2010, the Pew Forum conducted a survey of 3,412
Americans age 18 and older to determine their religious knowledge.
Although our laws guarantee freedom of religion and many faiths
flourish here, America is still the most Christian country in theworld. A majority of Americans claim to attend Christian worship
services at least once a week and to pray daily.
And yet, the Pew study shows that Christians are woefully
ignorant of the Bible they claim to read and the God they claim to
worship. Almost half of those surveyed believe that the Golden
Rule is one of the 10 commandments. Less than half can name the 4
Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). As one author says, the Bi-
ble in America is the greatest story never read.
In light of these results, the crucial question is: What differ-ence does it make? Why should we care whether Christians read the
Bible or understand the basic tenets of their faith? Stephen Prothero,
professor and author of religious studies books, would say it matters
because religious literacy is required to be good citizens of the US

and of the world. Because world religions af-
fect governments and politics, not knowing
about or understanding religions makes the
world a more dangerous place. I agree with
Prothero, but thats not why I think Christianliteracy is important.
The more we read the Bible and other
works of faith, the more we discuss spiritual
and religious matters, the more we understand
our traditions, the deeper these things mean.
How do we make meaning of our lives?
Through our relationship with God. That fun-
damental relationship colors and infuses all
other relationships and provides meaning toour actions and the actions of those around us.
The more we explore our relationship with
God, the deeper the meaning in our lives.
We dont do this alone, of course.
Learning about our faith and our past is best
done in community, in the gathered body of
Christ. Our parish community is a safe place
for questions, wonderings, and doubts. As we
are reminded on All Saints Sunday
(November 7), we have been preceded by
thousands of generations of believers who have
fought the good fight, who have finished the
race, who have kept the faith. Let us honor the
saints, this great cloud of witnesses, through a
faith that seeks understanding.

Upcoming EventscontinuedCenter for Spirituality Offers
Lectio Divina
St. Timothys Church, Creve Coeur
November 3December 1
The ancient practice of lectio divina is read-
ing gods word more with the heart than the head.
Lectio divina, (literally holy reading) begins with
cultivating the ability to listen deeply, to hear with
the ear of our hearts the words of Holy Scripture. In
this contemplative way we can discover an increasing
ability to offer more of ourselves and lives to God.
Using the readings for the coming Sunday,
The Rev. Susan Skinner will facilitate a group in the
practice of lectio divina for five sessions as we ap-
proach and enter the Advent season. The group will
meet on Wednesday mornings from 11:00 a.m. to
noon at St. Timothys Church, 808 North Mason
Road, Creve Coeur, 63141, beginning November 3
and continuing through December 1. A $10 registra-
tion fee covers the cost of materials and may be
brought to the first session. Sign up by calling 314-753-7911 or e-mail [email protected].
Advent Lessons & Carols
Sunday, December 5, at 6 p.m. at Christ
Church Cathedral is the celebration of Advent Les-
sons and Carols. Please come support the St. Fran-
cis choir as we sing the season.
EvensongSunday, December 12, join us at 7 p.m. at the
Lodge for a beautiful service of Evensong, which is
Evening Prayer, sung and chanted rather than spoken.
The choir will sing special music. This brief service
provides a soothing respite during a busy season.
Come at 6 p.m. and bring a dish to share. Well have
a potluck supper before the service.
Annual Performance Appraisals
in November
This month I will be providing job per-
formance feedback to our employees, Maxine
Heller, Lori Scissors, and Ellen Sacco. Addi-
tionally, the wardens will be providing feedback
to me. So talk to Barb Sacco if you have things
you would like communicated to me about my
work. Also, please know that I value your di-
rect feedback at all times. If you ever have any
concerns, critiques, or questions, do not hesitate
to call or come in and talk to me. --Pastor
Sally

Prayer for St. Francis
We pray for the witness, renewal, and growth of our parish
family. Open the door of St. Francis Church, O God, wide
enough to beckon those of every age and situation. Smooth
the threshold into an inviting pathway for children and for
straying feet; and fill all who enter here with your Divine love
and peace, and with our human love and fellowship. Amen.

Bishops Committee Meeting ScheduleThe Bishops Committee meets on the
fourth Sunday of the month beginning at 12:15
p.m. All are welcome to sit in and listen. Here are
the dates for Bishops Committee meetings for the
remainder of 2010:
November 21 December 19
Highlights from the October Bishops
Committee MeetingThe Bishops Committee met fol-
lowing Adult Forum on Sunday, October 24.
We received a response from our landlord,
Mrs. Butler, to the letter we sent, formalizing a
conversation that Mrs. Butler and Pastor Sally had.
Mrs. Butler has indeed agreed to allow us to put a
different lock on the Community Room and to
open it for use by various groups. Mrs. Butler sug-
gests (and we concur) that any interior modifica-tionssuch as electrical or plumbing changes
should be inspected by the City of Eureka.
A Nominating Committee of the outgoing
Bishops Committee members has been formed to
develop a slate of Bishops Committee candidates
for the January 23, 2011 annual meeting.
There will be an open house and blessing
of the parish house on Saturday., November 27
from 5-7 p.m. This coincides with the
Candlelight Walk. The Eureka tree lighting is
Nov 27 at 6 p.m.
See related articles in this Chalice about
the Lodge cleaning on November 20, the $250
check from Assured Automotive, and BCPs/
Bishops Committee NewsHymnals from St. Clair.
We will plan on a ministry fair, show-
casing the work of each committee, for Febru-
ary 2011.
The financial results continue to be
much better than predicted at the beginning of
2010. We expected to be $13,565 in deficit
by the end of September. Instead, we were
only $1,142 in deficit.
Nominating Committee
A nominating committee of the outgo-
ing Bishop Committee members is being
formed to develop a slate of candidates for
Bishops Committee that will be voted on at
the January 23, 2011 annual meeting.
If you:
1) are baptized and at least 18 years
old, and
2) attend Sunday worship regularly,
and
3) support St. Francis with financial
contributions,
youre eligible to serve on the Bishops Com-
mittee.
If you are interested in serving, please
contact Pastor Sally. Bishops Committee
meetings are the 4th Sunday of each month,
following Adult Forum. They are interesting,
lively, and laughter-filled meetings. We need
your leadership, so please consider serving.

Pet Blessing Results
The weather was uncooperative for our pet blessing on Saturday,
October 2. But we had a good time anyway. We conducted four worshipservices, blessing dogs, a sugar glider, a horse,
and a grasshopper.
Thanks to Debbie Pizzella and her tire-
less team, the gift baskets, soy candles, and raf-
fles brought in significant dollars for St. Fran-
cis mission work. All the bills arent in yet,
but it appears that revenue ex-
ceeded expenses by approxi-
mate $1,000. When all the in-come and expenses have been
accounted for in the next cou-
ple of weeks, a final tally will
be published in the weekly an-
nouncements insert.
You might want to
check the most recent edition ofThe Currentfor an article and
some excellent pictures of this event.
P a g e 8 Some Recent Activities
Befriending Women of the Bible
On October 16 over 30 women from Epis-
copal (and other Christian) churches gathered at St.
Matthews Warson Woods for a day of reflection
and conversation about women of the Bible. They
heard brief commentaries from four clergy women,
including Pastor Sally. If you wanted to go but
missed it, plan on it for next year. The day is a
peaceful opportunity for women to gather, explore,
and be refreshed.
Alex Branchfield, GuitaristExtraordi-
naire
Have you have been able to catch a per-
formance by our very talented Alex Branch-
field? The smooth jazz stylings of young gui-
tarist Alex Branchfield were displayed most re-
cently in performances at the Eureka Wine
House on the 23rd and 30th of October.
We will try to keep track of Alexs future
performances.
Book Signing
Peggy Poynter is having a book signing on
November 6, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Wild-wood Pub & Grill, 17253 New College Ave, Wild-
wood, MO 63040, 636-273-4300. It is located just
off Highway 109 at Old Manchester Rd.
Peggys book is called Lovely Rita's Cafe,
and written under her pen name of Mary Wild.
All are invited to come meet Peggy and pur-
chase her book.

A $250 Gift from Assured Automotive
Tim Phillips, owner of Assured Automo-
tive on 5thStreet in Eureka, gave St. Francis a
check for $250 to the Vicars discretionary fund.
Tim said that he was giving $250 to each minis-
ter in Eureka, so that clergy could address some
of the needs of the community.
The Vicars discretionary fund is used
exclusively to address emergency pastoral needs,
such as helping people pay for medicine, food,utility bills, or to purchase gas for their car. The
needs always exceed the money available.
Were grateful to Tim for his generosity.
Tim Phillips gracious gift is a reminder of
Gods unexpected and innumerable blessings.
Unexpected Gifts!! New Hymnals and Prayer BooksYears ago the Episcopal Church in St.
Clair closed. Recently the new owner of the
building called St. Francis and asked if wewould like the copies of theBook of
Common Prayer and the
hymnals left there.
We now have 55 prayer
books and 50 hym
that are in excel- lent con-
dition. These books are
at the Lodge and in the par- ish house.
The new owner is converting the formerchurch into a shelter for children who have been
temporarily taken from their parents. So the
building will continue to be used for Gods
work, serving as a haven of grace.

We would love to publish important dates for ALL mem-
bers of the congregationyour birth date, anniversaries, and
other date of importance to you. BUTin order to publish we
need the facts!
So that official parish records may be updated, you are
urged to pick up and complete one of the salmon-colored sheetsthat are available in the lobby at the Lodge each Sunday and return
it to the Parish Office, or just leave it with the Teller sheets for
Maxine to pick up. Knowing who to serve and how best to serve
our members, requires data on who we are. Lets help the Vicar,
Bishops Committee and Committee Chairpersons in planning ap-
propriate programs and activities by letting them know who we are
with facts and figures.

Out of Town and Need a Priest?
Some time ago I received a phone call from a
woman in St. Lukes Hospital. She said she was
from New Jersey, was having a medical operation
that day, and needed an Episcopal priest. While this
isnt an unheard of request, planning ahead is a good
idea.
If youre scheduled to travel
to another city to have an operation,
please let me know. I can arrange
for a priest of that Diocese to visit
you while youre in the hospital.And if you find yourself in another
city in a hospital unexpectedly need-
ing a priest, please call me. I will
arrange for a visit from an Episcopal priest in that
location.
