Rally Sunday and Ministry Fair!! This Sunday, September 8th marks the kickoff of our fall worship and education schedule! We will celebrate the event with an outdoor service at 10:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m. service will be held indoors as normal). This is a Sunday you won't want to miss! We will have games and activities for the children to include a bounce house, balloon artist, and magician! The weather forecast is for sunny skies and low humidity! The festivities will continue immediately following the outdoor service with a parish picnic! Parish Life will provide the meats and beverages (iced tea, water, lemonade). Everyone is asked to bring either a side dish or dessert to share. Please remember to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets to sit on. There will be a small section of chairs available for anyone who might forget, or who requires more stable seating. In addition, set up in the Sanctuary this Sunday will be a Ministry Fair featuring all of our ministry teams of Saint Patrick's. The teams have worked very hard preparing for this day so be sure to stroll through and learn about all of our day-to-day ministries in the parish. It is a great way to see how you might get involved in the fun and fellowship. See you on Sunday! It's going to be a day filled with worship, fun, good food and plenty of fellowship! Bring your friends and neighbors!
