We have resumed the practice of praying submitted names aloud during the Prayers of the People. Should you desire to offer a name and/or occasion for thanksgiving to be included in the Prayers of the People, please inform Beryl Frey before 8am Sunday morning. You may contact her by email or the church office phone (704) 663-5659. If requested, Beryl will keep the name automatically listed for up to four weeks, at which time a resubmitted request will be necessary. In addition to submitted prayers, there will be an opportunity for parishioners to offer additional names either in silence or aloud. We give thanks to God, knowing that all prayers, in all forms, are heard and answered in accordance with Divine wisdom and love.
As is our custom at Saint Patrick's, we will observe the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on October 7, 2012 with an outdoor service and annual Blessing of the Animals. The 8:30 service will be held indoors and will be pet-free. The 10:30 service will be held in our outdoor worship space behind the Sanctuary (weather permitting). You are invited to bring your pets to receive a blessing from the clergy. Dogs should be kept on a leash, which cats and smaller animals should be kept in carriers. Bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. There will be a small amount of seating provided for folks who need more stable seating, or forget their lawn chairs. Mark your calendars and plan to join us!
