Graduates
We wish to congratulate this year's high school graduates, Bobby Dubas and Justice Lebo. Bobby is heading off to the University of Colorado and Justice has already started her freshman year at Brigham Young University. Good Luck!
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.
Stuff The Truck
FCS Food Pantry will again sponsor a "Stuff The Truck" food collection event. It is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 23. As you can see, we have lots of room for lots of donations. Help fill the mail cart in the narthex to overflowing. 
Joint Parish Picnic
We have had over 100 hotdogs/buns and over 60 hamburger patties/buns donated. St. Paul's is providing the sides. Father Bernie will be contributing the industrial size grill and charcoal and will handle the cooking. The remaining needs are napkins, ice, ice coolers and soft drinks/water. Worker Bees are gathering at St. Paul's at 9:00 AM Saturday. Please join us to help set up at 9 am. Picnic will start at 11:30. Come join us for good food and great company.
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.

Psalm 145: 10-19
John 6:1-21
Collect:
O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
