HOLY WEEK AT SAINT PATRICK'S

Bishop Gregg will be at Saint Patrick's on Sunday, April 7th. He will preach at both services as well as Baptize, Confirm and Receive members of our community. In addition, Bishop Gregg will lead our Adult Education hour from 9:30 until 10:15 am that morning. He has not made the topic known to us as of yet, but the Bishop is an erudite scholar, so you can be assured it will be a not-to-be-missed education hour! Following the 10:30 a.m. service that day, there will be a reception to honor Bishop Gregg, the newly-baptized and confirmed. Please plan to be in attendance on April 7th on this important day in our community life.

We are pleased to announce that Kristin Bacon has been hired as a permanent staff member of our nursery program.  For the last few months she has been serving as a temporary hire.  We are also pleased to announce that Kristen Forbes will be serving as the Interim Director of Children's Ministries until such time as the permanent position is filled.  Mark Fowler continues to serve as the Interim Director of Youth Ministries, also until such time as a permanent hire is made.  The vestry has commissioned the development of a search committee to find our future Directors for Youth and Children's Ministries.  Mason Reuter will chair this committee.  The hope is that the committee will present qualified candidates to the vestry by the end of the summer, and that these new hires will be in place come early Fall.  

Please note that due to the Easter holiday, the April meeting of the ECW will now be held on Monday, April 8th at 10:00 am in the church library. If you have any questions, please contact Ann Farr at (704) 360-2216.
