October 9, 2014
|
Please join for worship this Sunday at 8:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. Children's Chapel for children in preschool through grade 5 will take place during the first half of the 10:30 service. A reminder that a lectionary bible study for adults is offered every Sunday between services.
Please join us next Sunday, October 19th following the 10:30 a.m. service for a Rector's Forum. Our guest speaker will be Diocesan Canon Cathie Caimano.
Our lawn at Saint Patrick's was aerated and over seeded last week. It will be best if we limit foot traffic for a period of two to three weeks so that the new grass has time to germinate and become established. This is important for the long-term health and beauty of the lawn. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important enhancement of our surroundings.
We are in need of acolytes to serve at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings. If you are already an acolyte at Saint Patrick's you received an email communication about this new procedure. You can click here to begin to sign up for a Sunday. If you are not currently an acolyte but would like to become one, please contact Bob Milllikin.
Our Music Director, Jayne Sprinkle, will be starting up the "Shamrocks" children's choir again this Sunday, October 12th. Children from kindergarten to fifth grade are welcome to participate. Practice will be on Sunday mornings immediately following the 10:30 a.m. service for 20-30 minutes in the youth room/Children's Chapel room. The children can sing with their friends while their parents can enjoy fellowship in the Narthex during coffee hour.
The Saint Patrick's Youth Group will assist our congregation in hosting a safe, fun and slightly spooky "Trunk or Treat" for the children of our community on Thursday, October 30th from 6 pm to 7 pm at the church. There will be hot dogs, drinks, games and lots of treats so bring your friends and neighbors to enjoy this fun event! Please click here for a flyer with all the details.
A new sign up genius for Children's Chapel and Nursery volunteers for the fall has been created on the church website. Please consider volunteering your time to Saint Patrick's Children's Formation. We need as many volunteers as we can get to share in this important ministry for our children. Click here to access our website.
Our next scheduled day to serve as Prep Chefs at the Mooresville Soup Kitchen is on Tuesday, October 14th from 1 to 4 pm. Currently we still have many slots 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

A wine and cheese reception is included during intermission. If you are planning to attend, please bring a finger food for the reception. Tickets available at the door: $15 for adults, $10 seniors/students. All proceeds benefit community outreach. For more details, click here or call (704) 663-5659.
