Scenes from December 18th
Coffee Hour
|
|
|
The Sunday service was less attended than usual given the number of people, including many from the choir, who have been taken ill with Covid or other illnesses of the season. We wish them all a speedy recovery.
|
|
Yet good will was evident for those who attended, and were touched by the beautifully decorated church thanks to the handiwork of the Flower and Alter Ministries and the memorable Homily given by Fr. Ed on angels...do we believe?
After the service parishioners were treated to a bountiful Christmas Coffee Hour hosted by Candace Macnair and Stephanie Chapralis McCaffrey. This was the last Coffee Hour until January 8th.
Parishioners' hearts were gladdened to see Naomi and Phillip Holm join us once again for services. Phillip chose to celebrate his birthday, on that very day, with St. Pat's and was wished birthday greetings by many.
Wishing all a Blessed Christmas!

The Rev. Bruce Bramlette Presents:
A Historical Exploration of the First Two Centuries after
Jesus and Before Christianity
|
|
|
The Adult Education Ministry of St Patrick's Church is happy to present The Rev. Bruce Bramlette once again!
Join religious studies scholar and interfaith facilitator, The Rev. Bruce Bramlett, in this fascinating 5-week course titled The Jesus Movement in the first two centuries before the Church.
This five week class will explore historically the setting, character, and circumstances of the development of the earliest Jesus movement from its origins in Judea to its growth amid the vast diversity and pluralism of the Roman Empire in the first two centuries. We will follow a new ten-year, study from the Westar Institute of this history, After Jesus Before Christianity, to guide our conversations. We will look closely at the nature of Roman society, religion, and political environment to enrich our understandings of those earliest Jesus communities. The course should greatly expand and challenge many of our long-held assumptions about this important era and provide insights into how the Jesus movement came to become the “Christian Church” in the third and fourth centuries. The course will be a “hybrid” model with in-person sessions and Zoom opportunities.
This course will be held on Tuesdays from 11:00 -1:00 of the following dates: January 24, 31, February 7, 14, 21 in Stevenson Hall at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, 9000 Sonoma Highway in Kenwood, California. The class is free but a $5.00 donation helps off-set expenses. Please R.S.V.P. to Bobbiejo at parishadm9000@gmail.com or call 707- 833-4228, ext. 1. Rev. Bramlett’s biography is available upon request.
