 Sunday School Children Explore the Story of Creation (Genesis 1-2)
As leaves unfold and azaleas bloom, children will study the story of Creation. The Christian story of Creation can be found in the Bible in the Book of Genesis (which literally means "beginning"). Children will learn about the days of Creation and what was created on each day. More importantly, children will learn that God is the source of all life, and that life is GOOD! God wants us to enjoy and celebrate life and the world God has given us.
Workshops include: 1) Outdoor Expedition; 2) Kitchen Workshop; 3) Create-Your-Own Creature; and 4) Storytelling.

Music at St. Patrick's
Our GALA "Community Sing" will be led by the Cantoris and Jubilate Deo choirs
so you will have plenty of support to sing along.
We'll also have Scott Tiemann back with us on Drums and Vince McCool on Trumpet
so we can all make a joyful noise!
Don't you want to belt out some Broadway tunes and other favorites right here in our Nave?
Plan to invite family and friends for this afternoon treat.

 Encountering God through Dreams
The Bible is filled with people who dream: Jacob, Joseph, The Magi, and Pilate's wife, just to name a few. During the month of May, the Women's Bible Study will read a book about dreams and how reflecting on them can be a potential source of healing and a starting point for prayer. All women of St. Patrick's are invited: Wednesdays, May 9, 16, 23, & 30, 9:30-11 am in the Church Library.
