  Saint Patrick's Weekly Reminders
March 13, 2014

Please join us for worship this Sunday at 8:30 or 10:30 a.m. Children's Chapel for preschool age children through grade 5, takes place during the first half of the 10:30 a.m. service.

 

Throughout the Sundays of Lent, a Meditative Eucharist will be offered at 7:30 pm.  Intended as a spiritual aide to cultivate a reflective Lent, these services will incorporate candlelight in a darkened atmosphere, meditative music, ample silence, a brief mystical reflection, communal prayers and a contemplative Eucharist.  The service will last approximately 35 to 40 minutes.  Though Christian in ethos, and certainly fulfilling for Christian piety, this service will prove hospitable to those who define themselves as "spiritual but not religious."  If you know anyone who would appreciate a spiritual experience in a meditative atmosphere, please invite them to join us.

 

Rector's Forum - Sunday, March 30. In a changing World should the Episcopal Church change? Come and join us immediately following the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Eucharist on March 30th to discuss the future of the church. There is declining participation in all denominations of the Christian church, including the Episcopal Church. However, there seems to be a growing global emergence of many people seeking "Spirituality without Religion." Are there ways for Saint Patrick's to survive or even thrive in such a changing environment? Please join us for just 45 minutes to discuss this vitally important topic. 


There will be a study of the book "A Practical Christianity: Meditations for the Season of Lent" by Jane Shaw offered on Thursdays at noon in the church office. This Thursday March 13 will be an introductory session. If you are interested in participating please contact Sally Brower, the group leader, by clicking

"We pray for those whose lives are meager not by choice but by misfortune. We pray for the starving and undernourished, the homeless and the unprotected." 
Please remember that we are scheduled to serve at Room in the Inn for the final time this season on Thursday, March 20. Many  slots are open. Please sign up online as soon as possible so that we may get all the slots filled promptly. Sign up by clicking here

 

Our next scheduled day to serve as Prep Chefs at the Mooresville Soup Kitchen is on Tuesday, April 8th from 1 to 4 pm. Currently we have many slots we need to fill. We are in need of 6 to 10 volunteers, 16 years of age and older who can commit to helping to prepare the frozen meals for those in need. You can sign up to help by clicking here

 

Solace For The Children is one of our outreach ministries. It is a nonprofit that is building peace on a foundation of health by establishing international partnerships providing medical care, education, and leadership development for the children of war-torn countries. This Sunday, March 16th, Sandy Tabor-Gray will be attending both morning services at Saint Patrick's to answer questions about how you can help. For several years, members of our congregation have opened their home for these children during their 6 week stay during the months of June and July. For further information take a look at their website or call Sandy (704) 763-9478.

 

The Saint Patrick's Senior VIVA group will be visiting the Carolinas Aviation Museum on Wednesday, March 19th, for a presentation of Miracle on the Hudson Flight 1549, which will include photos, videos and actual items from the aircraft as well as the aircraft itself. Listen to the passengers describe on video how they felt as events unfolded on January 15th, 2009. Also on exhibition are many military aircraft and helicopters. Come and follow aviation history from its fascinating beginning to present day. For more information, and to sign up, please see Cindi Davis or Gail Connelly following the 10:30 a.m. service. 

 

An informal group of women has decided to start a luncheon club. The group plans on meeting the third Thursday of each month at 11:30 a.m. The March meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 20th. If you are interested in joining the group, please speak with Judy Willingham. 

 

Our Solas Leighis concert series continues on Sunday, March 30th at 7:00 p.m. with a performance by Paul Asbell. Paul's music has received numerous rave reviews for its highly individualized twists on blues and jazz standards, old-timey country-based themes and original pieces from the "American roots" tradition. A performance not to be missed! For more details visit our web site by clicking here.
