On Monday, July 4th, we will march in the Palisades Community Parade.  Meet in the East Lot at 10:15 am for Doughnuts, Bagels, and Coffee. Bring bicycles and skateboards to decorate.  Wear red, white, and blue OR St. Patrick's green and white.  We'll walk behind the Rector's red convertible and our St. Patrick's banner.  The parade begins at 11 am and follows a route that concludes at MacArthur Blvd. and Dana Place, NW.

We'll be collecting wrapped, hard candies to toss to the crowds as we march.  Please bring in your candy donations (no melty chocolates, please) to the bin outside the Nave on Sunday, or with you on the 4th.

Prayer List

We pray for all those at summer camp this summer including our Rector Kurt Gerhard who is the camp chaplain this week at Camp Wright on Kent Island in the Diocese of Easton, and the 8 St. Patrick's kids who are also at camp this week.

We pray for James Jacobs who died in April, and whose memorial service is at St. Patrick's on Friday, and for his family and friends, especially his nephew Steve Durand, and his great-niece Dana Hough.

We pray for Maria Tejada on the 1-year anniversary of her death as we celebrate her life in a memorial service at St. Patrick's on Sunday afternoon.  We pray for her friends and family, especially the Tejada and Gamarra families.

We give thanks for the upcoming marriage of Kevin Hylton and Jennie Gross who will be married this Sunday in Connecticut, and for Carol Hylton, proud mother of the groom.

Sunday School in July     

Nursery School through 2nd Grade

Begins at 9:45 am each Sunday. 

Children return to church in time to receive communion with their families.

It's not too early to register your child for Sunday School.  Registering this summer helps us know how many teachers and classrooms to schedule and materials to buy, so that we can create a welcoming and exciting Sunday School experience.    

Visit our on-line registration site:  Register Now for Fall Sunday School

 Grand Oaks:                   John Nicholson, Helen & Paul Schmitz

Amanda Brown sings at St. Patrick's

Soloist Amanda Brown is with us this Sunday to sing some American music for the 4^th of July weekend.  "A Simple Song" by Leonard Bernstein and a gospel hymn, "Jesus remembers when others forget" by Thomas A. Dorsey (the preacher's kid, not the band leader!) will cover a broad spectrum of music written in the good old U.S. of A.!

As always, we look forward to welcoming our own Amanda Brown back to St. Patrick's.
