We invite you to join us this Sunday at 8:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. Bishop Gregg will make his visitation to Saint Patrick's this Sunday. In addition to preaching at both services, the Bishop will also lead our Adult Education forum from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. We have not been made aware of the topic yet, but Bishop Gregg is an erudite scholar, so you can be assured it will be a program worthwhile attending. Also on Sunday, Bishop Gregg will baptize, confirm and receive members of our community. A reception will be held immediately following the 10:30 am service in honor of Bishop Gregg, as well as those who were baptized, confirmed and received. Please plan to be in attendance this Sunday for this important day in the life of our community. 

The ECW is asking for your help with the reception for the Bishop on Sunday. If you are able, please bring a finger food to church with you that morning. Questions? Call Ann Farr (704) 360-2216.

Please note that Sunday School for preschool and elementary age children will take place during the first half of the 10:30 a.m. service this Sunday. 

The Youth will revert back to the regular schedule this Sunday, April 7th. The Youth meeting will be held from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm and will be followed by the family Eucharist. Dinner will be provided.

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.

Lunch will be provided. This event will be led by Pam Hatley.
