Fellowship at St. Francis
St. Francis Episcopal Church is a church that loves fellowship! We enjoy getting together in different ways, and we look forward to welcoming newcomers into our community. There are annual events throughout the year—such as the Fall Marketplace in October and a Gala in the winter—as well as more casual events. For more information about any of these groups, Contact Us.

Tables for Eight-ish
These informal dinner groups of approximately 8-9 singles and couples are formed in the fall and meet for approximately five meals at each other’s homes throughout the year. Sign-up for this activity occurs in September, and it’s a wonderful way to meet new people. All adults are welcome!

Women’s Group
This group provides opportunities for the women of the church to get together outside of Sunday services for fun, for mutual support, and to support the church and its good causes. Events planned thus far include a tea, a cutting garden tour, and helping with a church rummage sale. They also meet casually every Friday at 10:30 am at the Great Falls Starbucks.

Fall Marketplace
This October fundraiser has evolved over the years, but currently it includes a large Rummage Sale, Book Sale, Bake Sale, vendor tables, Crafts, and more. Fellowship is a huge part of this undertaking, and church members work together to invite the community and provide a fun experience for everyone.

Winter Gala
After a Covid hiatus, the Gala is back! This themed dinner with auction raises money for the church and for outreach causes. Usually scheduled right before Lent begins in February or March, the Gala is always a bright spot in winter as 150 parishioners and friends of the church dress up and gather to celebrate St. Francis and raise money for a good cause.
