The Vestry and I have set the date for an All Parish meeting on Sunday,  July 9th after the 10 a.m. Worship. This meeting will be a presentation about St. Patrick's' status in this transition time. It will explore some past and some hoped-for future and particularly where we are now. The objective is to inform the parish how the church in particular St. Patrick's, carries out its mission of sharing The Good News.
Headings will include the following issues that have formed and continue to form our congregation.
- Timeline history
- Church and cultural dynamics
- Church administration and finance (some details)
- Future challenges, Leadership & Finance
- Out Baptismal promises and ministries
This is not a town hall type meeting, but purely informational so that all St. Patrick's members can know where and how and what we are doing. It will not presume to answer all questions, but it will put us all on the same footing as we go ahead together. God is our guide!
For now on, the Sunday bulletin will be available on the website under the worship page. https://stpatrickskenwood.org
Blessings,
Father Ed

 On June 3, members of Churches of the Russian River Deanery marched in the Pride Parade in Santa Rosa. Their sign and banners proclaimed in many colors the welcome The Episcopal Church extends to all members of the LGBTQ+ communities in California and Beyond!
Father Ed helped carry one banner which said "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You" from "The twelve churches of the Russian River Deanery." They were applauded all along the parade route. The photos tell the story!

Robin Williams in License to Wed (2007)
The following is an insight on why so many adults have chosen the Episcopal Church. You might like to share it with one who is a searcher and could find a home in the Episcopal Church.
- Worship that brings you in, instead of putting you on the sidelines.
- A theology that demands our intelligence rather than ignoring it.
- A willingness not only to tolerate, but also to celebrate differences.
- A heritage that takes the Bible very seriously but is not bound by literalism.
- A strong sense of community in which our consensus is in Christ, not a conformity of opinion.
- A devotion to the Biblical Sacraments instituted by Jesus, which evoke awe and mystery instead of factual explanation.
- A sense of ministry that is rightfully the obligation of every baptized person.
- An insistence upon morality (what is good and loving) and an avoidance of moralism (salvation by code and not by Christ).
- The heritage of Apostolic faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in the Apostolic order given to the church by Him.
The Rev. Canon James MacLean, Diocese of Arkansas
