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.
Class is held on Tuesdays from 11:00 -1:00 of the following dates: January 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.
Just four more classes left!
RSVP by email- Sign up with Bobbiejo today!

The St Patrick's Church monthly Nomadic Shelter dinner on January 8, 2023.
Plus Judith Kesot, Margaret Marshat, and Leslie Clark, not pictured.
St. Patrick’s hosted the Nomadic Shelter from Redwood Gospel Mission on Saturday, January 7. There were 13 guests, 2 Staff from RGM and 8 volunteers from St. Patrick’s. In addition to all those helping that night, Margaret Merchat and Leslie Clark did the cooking on Friday and Margaret did all the shopping. It was a great example of effective teamwork.
Our volunteers were Eleanor Albon, Judith Kesot, Mother Karen King, Wendy Wood, Karl Mutch, Shona Burns, and Rich Randolph. You may have seen their pictures in a recent edition of the Updates.
We all enjoyed a colorful, tasty casserole together with our guests, who often expressed their appreciation. We completed all the cleanup and left Stevenson Hall by 7:15.Now it’s time to prepare for February 4, the next Shelter night. If you are interested in helping, please contact me. It’s a very satisfying experience for everyone. Betsy (408) 981-2024. rjurny@gmail.com

Rich and Betsy delivered 24 Blessing Bags to Redwood Gospel Mission and the staff there were so pleased to get them. Though the recipients may not have a way to heat the pasta in a can, they are nevertheless grateful to have something to eat. St. Patrick’s showed that we care about all our neighbors and are eager to help. Please keep up the good work!
The next deadline is February 12. Please call Betsy Randolph at (408)981-2024 if you have any questions.

Greetings Friends!
Take a look at Elenaor's note below who has thanked her faithful volunteers who come out and service those in need in our community. This latest report is from January 17th. The next time they meet will be on February 7th. Thank you to all our volunteers!
Thank you to Carolyn, Ned, Kerin, Anna/Joel, Susan, substitute driver Chris and rep Arturo. 67 households/248 individuals received food on St Pat's parking lot! Of particular interest, we had EGGS!
Two egg funnies:
~ I received an email. A carton of 12 large eggs was pictured. The message below:
just two more payments and they're mine!
~ The Easter bunny will be delivering potatoes this year!
We distributed everything REFB sent. Sadly, the last few households were short some items, and the last car received nothing. Arturo will ask for more for next time.
Volunteers for Feb 7: Pam/Larry, Beth, Lauri/Tim and newbie Mary L. Please let me know ASAP if your plans change!
Praise the Lord - REFB and our volunteers again made a difference in many lives.

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.

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.
