TET Celebration

Join us at noon on Sunday, February 22nd for a celebration of the Vietnamese New Year, or Tet.  The tradition at St. Patrick's has been to follow our morning worship service (which begins at 10:30 a.m.) with a potluck luncheon (many traditional Vietnamese foods, along with foods from other cultures-bring your favorite dish to share!) and talent show.

If you have a Vietnamese traditional outfit this would be a wonderful time to wear it!  If not, see if you can't find something red to wear in honor of this important festival. 

If you would like to participate in the talent show, please contact Mariko Hiller at 703-200-7489 or [email protected].  You can join those already signed up:  swing dance, accordion playing, etc.! Do you have a favorite poem?  Do martial arts?  Sing in the shower?  Sign up!  All ages are welcome, and your participation will be greatly appreciated.

We hope you will join us on Sunday, February 22nd for 10:30 am worship and 12:00 pm Tet Celebration!

 

Ash Wednesday

The Rev. Bernie Schroeder will officiate at two services for the imposition of ashes at Noon and at 7 PM.

Pastoral Search Prayer

Our Heavenly Father: 

Your love for us is unfailing.  You have blessed this church -- a caring community where all are welcome and each is valued.   Renew our faith during this time of transition.  
 
Be with our pastoral search committee.  Give them unity of purpose, and help them listen carefully to your voice.  Let us be mindful that you are calling the right person to shepherd your flock at St. Patrick's. 
 
All this we ask in the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen

Mark 9:2-9 

 

Collect: 

O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
