A NOTE FROM SARAH


On Sunday, we started a new adventure - Venture Capital for God's Kingdom. I invited all present to take $10 and use it to build up the Kingdom of God wherever you, the people of St. Patrick's, most see the need. Some wonderful stories have already come in, which the Stewardship Team and I are eager to share with you. If you have a story that you'd like to share, please send it to me. 
 
COFFEE HOUR
PENTECOST

Thanks to all the wonderful helpers who made Pentecost and the Pentecost Picnic a grand success!

AND ALSO WITH Y'ALL: PEACE, PAJAMAS, AND PATRICK

This summer, we're going to offer a season of peace. On Sunday evenings in August, we will invite the entire parish to participate in what we're calling And also with y'all: Peace, Pajamas and Patrick. From 5:00-7:00 PM, all who wish are invited to a simple supper, program and play focused on peace. We'll be looking at peace in the world, peace in humanity and peace in our hearts. We'll have wonderful activities, all-ages games and adventures, and a time to reflect in small groups. ALL AGES are welcome and encouraged. Come to one or two sessions or come to the all! And we'll send you home all ready to be tucked in, so kids, youth and courageous adults are invited and welcome to come in their PJs! 

I hope you'll mark this event on your calendar. Want to be part of the planning team? Let Mo. Sarah know!

** Please note: this replaces the previously scheduled Family Summer Camp in July. **
