A Message from the Planned Giving Ministry
|
|

GETTING YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER
A common New Year's tradition is to make resolutions as to how to live better in the coming year. It is typically a time to "get one's affairs in order" in preparation for tax season and generally to start the new year out with a sense of fiscal accomplishment.
Perhaps one of those tasks includes taking another look at one's will, trust, or estate plan. General fiscal record maintenance advice includes revisiting such documents when a "life event" occurs, such as a birth, marriage, or death, or every five years. This is done to update or make any changes deemed necessary as things change over the years, including bequests.
In your planning for your family, this is a time to revisit your bequests and hopefully a gift to your parish is part of your plan. It is in our bequests that we honor what is close to our hearts and what we value.
Wishing all of our parish family, a healthy and happy New Year.
The Planned Giving Ministry: Stephanie Chapralis McCaffrey, Chair, Laurie Boone-Hogen, and Ann and Alec Peters.

Art Class with Kate Rogers
|
|
|
The St. Patrick's Education Ministry kicked off the new year with its first class, "Art and Exploring Our Own Creative Expression", facilitated by Kate Rogers.
Participants br aved the wet roads to gather in the Vestry Room in the Administration Building, a change in venue due to having no heat in the Common Room. Many thanks to Fr. Ed, who was first on the scene and set up, and turned on the most welcome heat.
Kate initiated the group into an exploration of a creating our own "Mandelas". A Mandela, which is Sanskrit for “circle” or “discoid object,” is a symbolic geometric design in Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Mandalas are believed to represent different aspects of the universe and are used as instruments of meditation and symbols of prayer most notably in China, Japan, and Tibet.
Kate provided a wide variety of artist pencils, pastels, and paints, in addition to paper and a template, for participants to discover, create, and play, and let the creative part of our brain engage.
Kate is an Art Therapist and an artist. As mentioned in the previous Enews, she uses the printing press at the Sonoma Valley Community Center to begin her process of making collages. Kate has seen the process of art making create growth and positive change in her clients and relies on it for her own self-care. She lives in Sonoma with her husband and golden doodle.
The next class on Monday, January 16th. The third and final class will be Monday, January 23rd. To sign up, contact Bobbiejo at parishadm9000@gmail.com or call 707-833-4228, ext 1.
For questions, contact Laurie Boone Hogen at Lauriehogen@gmail.com.
Classes are free with a $5.00 donation to cover materials.

The sanctuary lamp, also called a chancel lamp, is placed before the tabernacle or aumbry in  Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, and Anglican, (Episcopal) churches as a sign that the Blessed Sacrament is reserved or stored.
St. Patrick’s Church has a Sanctuary Lamp with a candle burning, by the aumbry (or Tabernacle) near the altar, donated by the late Evie Borger. In many Episcopal churches, parishioners are encouraged to make a modest donation toward the purchase of candles by burning the lamp in memory of loved ones, or in thanksgiving for blessings received; i.e., birthdays, anniversaries, births, safe travel, etc. It is suggested that a donation of $5.00 be made to the Altar Guild.
If you wish to have the candle burned in commemoration of any event, please contact the parish office, and it will be listed in the bulletin denoting that “The Sanctuary Lamp burns this week to the Glory of God and in loving memory of N., or in Thanksgiving for___by N.

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.
RSVP by email- Sign up with Bobbiejo today!
