The staff and members of St. Francis Episcopal Church welcome you and invite you to attend some or all of the many activities associated with our 54th annual House Tour. The Potomac Country House Tour is one of many wonderful events that have become fixtures every fall in the Potomac Area. The first tour took place in 1956; it was originally conceived as a fund raising effort to help the parish in its day to day operations. For more than 20 years, the house tour has been the major fund raising effort in support of the church’s outreach programs. One of the ministries which House Tour allows us to support is the ministry of Russell and Beth White at Tenwek Hospital which you can read about in the previous post. Homeowners in Potomac open their doors and lives are saved in Kenya. Think about that.

This year’s live auction is tonight, October 2nd at the church. For the first time, there will also be an on-line auction.
