Joy Strotz did her usual amazing thing at the farewell party for the Beebes at took several group photos.
If you would like to order this series as a canvas, art block, or any individual prints, just let her know and she will
make sure that the sale proceeds go to the Beebes as a gift collectively from all of you. Contact Joy at 775-831-8898
or by email.
Also thanks to Joy, here's a link to some photo
highlights at St. Pats from 2008-present. Most of the photos were taken prior to 2010, but she picked up her camera for
Jim's last service, so there's a little something more recent to see.
From Joy: "Please forgive me as I came far from including everyone at St. Pat's in this collection of images, and
putting this together was a bit impromptu."
Enjoy the slideshow!

Lectio Divina Begins! Clare N is leading St. Pat's first ever Lectio Divina
("sacred reading") group on Thursday 12:15 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel. Lectio is a Benedictine discipline of reading, meditation, and prayer, which invites participants to listen for God's Word to them.
The Episcopal Church is a part of the diverse Anglican Communion worldwide. As such, we are encouraged to use these wider liturgical resources in our worship. The Affirmation of Faith from the New Zealand Prayerbook is one such resource that we will use this Pentecost season.
Earn money for St. Patrick’s while you shop! The Office has received more Raley’s Quality of Life Cards! The card is used every time you shop at Raley’s, and then the church receives a percentage of proceeds as a donation. St. Patrick’s has earned over $1900 since we started the program in 2004! Please come to the church office to receive a card, and we will register it for you. The office is open Mon.-Fri. from 9-1 p.m. Or if you see Karen Barney or Ron Young in church on a Sunday, either of them can get a card set up for you.
