Parish Notes

Saint Margaret's Quilting Group
Please join us this Sunday, June 28th, after the service for fellowship and stitching. Everyone is welcome.
Pat Gardner
Interment for Pat Gardner will occur at Arlington National Cemetery at 10:00 AM on July 31, 2015. The Rev. Bernie Schroeder will officiate.
Air Conditioner Replacement
Last week the broken A/C that services the church and the Montessori School was replaced. The cost of this new unit was $6,100. This was an unplanned expense. If you can see fit to help with this expense, checks may be made payable to Saint Patrick's Episcopal Church with "A/C" on the memo line. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
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
Please feel to reach the Search Committee via email (stpatsearch2014@gmail.com) or in-person.
