WHY YES, WE DO HAVE A BOOK CLUB! DID YOU KNOW? We recently learned that some of our members were unaware that we have a Book Club at Saint Patrick's! There are no dues or requirements to be a part of the group. If you enjoy the following: good books, good food, and good fellowship, please join us! Our group chooses books from secular best seller lists, secular book reviews and member suggestions. You are not even required to have finished or read the monthly selection to come to the meetings. We will share our opinions of the book and try to keep the ending a secret if we can! During the winter months, we will be meeting on the second Sunday afternoon of the month. If you are interested in joining, please contact the parish office (704) 663-5659 or speak with one of the following ladies; Rita Azali, Jan Lamm or Judy Willingham. PRESIDING BISHOP AT ST. MARTIN'S IN CHARLOTTE The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church will be at Saint Martin's in Charlotte on Sunday, January 22nd. She will preach, teach and celebrate the Eucharist that morning. You can read all of the details by clicking here. If you intend to go, please note that reservations will be required so Saint Martin's can adequately seat those in attendance. The Presiding Bishop's keynote address to Diocesan Convention will be available immediately following Convention at the end of the month. We will post it in the Weekly Remainders. CAN YOU HELP US WITH SOME LAUNDERING CHORES? Saint Patrick's has recently been blessed with new vestments for our acolytes. As a result, we would like to pass on our old vestments to a congregation in need. Ideally we would love to offer the vestments at the Diocesan Convention at the end of January. The vestments need to be cleaned before we hand them down. We are in need of volunteers who can take an armful of vestments home, launder them, and return them to the church. There are many of them - don't feel pressured to take them all but if a few people could take a load it would be greatly appreciated. We need to have them back within about 10 days so they can be prepared to go to convention and eventually a new home. Questions: Contact Bob Millikin PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION OPEN Saint Patrick's preschool is currently accepting registration for preschool for the fall of 2012, for members of Saint Patrick's only.
