St. Patrick's Day Ingathering and Celebration, Sunday, March 18
Yes, we know it is Lent! But it is also time to celebrate Patrick, our patron saint! On Sunday, March 18, both services will include a time for those who have agreed to increase their commitment to the operating budget (and those making first-time pledges this year) to offer pledge cards during the liturgy. We will have a reception, with an Irish flair, following the
10:30 to service. Join us on
March 18 for a deep drink at this Lenten oasis as we celebrate what God is doing among us here at St. Patrick's.
