We are happy to say that the funds have been raised for the matching Small Church Revitalization Grant give us by the diocese. Arrangements are being made to start work on the windows in the office wing. We wish to thank everyone for your generosity in making this happen.
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. 
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.
