1 NEW FRIENDS ST. PATRICK S ICON BAPTISM St. Patrick s Architectural Summary A brochure entitled Architectural history and design of St. Patrick s Episcopal Church has been developed thanks to a parishioner who compiled the document from an oral interview with Dr. M. A. Gardiner, who was the Construction Chairperson for the building of St. Patrick s. The document provides a fascinating story, giving the background of why St. Patrick s is designed the way it is and the history behind the building and the site. The document is being distributed by and posted on our website. Are you up for a St. Patrick s tour? <Julie Noh-Smith> Give Hope Global - Haiti Mission Trip The latest Mission trip team went to Haiti from June 11 th to 18 th. Volunteers from our church included Bill, Lillian and Collin Flannery, Bob Smith, Jackie and Ashley Pehan. The team returned home safely and Bill Flannery reported, "All six of us had a great time. We worked on construction projects, saw patients, and helped the deaf community. Most of all we enjoyed the workings of the Holy Spirit in Haiti. We are always humbled by how things just fall into place on our trips. The children were so grateful for hugs and holding hands. They just craved human contact and love. Our prayers are that some of you Xind it in your heart to join the team in October or next February, or to sponsor one of our parishioners to travel to Haiti. Spaces are still available on the next trip from October 7 th to 14 th. No special skills are needed, just a willingness to serve. The trip costs around $2100. You can also donate to support a St. Patrick's parishioner to travel. <Bill Flannery> From the left: Bob Smith, Collin Flannery, Jackie and Ashley Pehan, Bill and Lillian Flannery!1

2 HOMe- Introduction Bonnie Battallia, Community Coordinator of HOMe (Hope of Mooresville), visited St. Patrick s on Sunday, June 4th to talk about HOMe. Baptism: New Children of God On June 4 th, at Pentecost, two baptisms were performed for new children of God: * Maren Alice Boyle * Camden Gregory Schmidt The Hope of Mooresville project is to provide the Xirst family care house to provide safe shelter, food and support services to homeless women and children, and offer guidance and accountability. It is the goal of this organization to have the home ready for Mooresville s homeless women and children by late fall/early winter Our mission wall as the backdrop of this presentation is perfect, knowing what St. Patrick s is committed to and our mission is. Active participation in volunteering and donations would be appreciated. Please visit for further information. < Charlotte Lafon> Third Thursday Ladies Lunch Each 3 rd Thursday of the month, many St. Patrick s ladies gather at 11:30 a.m. for lunch served with sides of fellowship, laughter and fun. The June lunch was held at Duckworth s Grill and Taphouse on the NW corner of Williamson Road and River Highway on Thursday the 15 th. Look at the crowd in the picture! This was the first lunch where they had two pastors joined: Rev. Cynthia Garman and Rev. Cathie Caimano. Wow! So popular! All St. Patrick s ladies are welcome; bring a friend if you like! <Jan Krumel>!2

3 St. Patrick s First Bi-Lingual Service On July 9 th, St. Patrick s celebrated our Xirst bi-lingual service in English and Spanish. At 10:30 a.m. Eucharist, we welcomed Spanish speaking members of our community. A full bulletin in Spanish was made available, with the Gospel and Communion Prayers also spoken in Spanish. The Clergy ofxiciated with the assistance from members of the congregation. We thank our Clergy and Hispanic Outreach Ministry with special thanks to Frankie Vasquez and Steve Iglehart. During the coffee hour after the service, St. Patrick s members had a chance to meet with new Spanish speaking friends who visited us that day. Please see the diverse look at St. Patrick s! Unity in Diversity is truly rexlected during the service and coffee hour. Happy new faces! Have you seen this diversity at St. Patrick s before? The first dance! Colleen and Jon Ramsey s Wedding There was great joy for our parishioners on Friday, June 23 in the wedding of Colleen and Jon Ramsey. Many from St. Patrick s attended the service and reception together with the happy couple s family and friends. There was beautiful music from Jane and Randal Sprinkle, and the bride and groom shared communion. We give thanks to God for their great service to our church and pray for their long and happy marriage! Affinity Group The Sojourners The Sojourners is a fellowship group that is open to all members of St. Patrick s. The group gathers on the second Saturday of each month to discuss books, podcasts, movies, etc. that assist us in recognizing how God is with us in our everyday lives. If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Cathy Hadden. In June, the group gathered at the Jean and Steve Messick s house and posed for camera. <Cathy Hadden>!3

4 The Consecration of the XII Bishop Diocesan Bob Millikin, Frankie Vasquez, John Syme, Greg Smith and Sydney Smith represented St. Patrick's at the consecration of the Rt. Rev Samuel Rodman as Bishop Diocesan XII in Duke Chapel on Saturday, July 15. View a recording of the ceremony at the diocese homepage, Icon of St. Patrick, Our Patron Saint St. Patrick Icon Preview & Progress On June 4 th, Veryle Lynn Cox, the iconographer of our Icon of St. Patrick came to St. Patrick s along with the icon and let us paint. A clay slip, made of clay from our church property, was used on the edges of the icon and this is to represent our human nature, just as icons represent our transformed or divine nature. Over 60 parishioners participated in painting the one-inch square blocks along the edge of the icon. It is symbolic that the icon will not be there for us to revere but rather it is something that St. Patrick s parishioners created together. Since the last visit of the iconographer, the icon has progressed as you see below. As the process continues, you are also invited to pray for our parish and her work. Here are some photos of initial steps of the icon creation. Each step has a meaning. Please see the numbers in top left hand corner of each picture and match with the meaning below: 1) These dark colors, Roshkrish, are the foundation for all the later colors. Notice that the white of the gesso board is still somewhat visible. Soon black lines will tame the chaos of the darkness. 2) With the black and venetian red lines dexining the chaos of Roshkrish, order and transxiguration come to the icon. The lines represent the Law as given to Moses. 3) At last the light! First Highlights are painted on the dark Roshkrish, representing the beginning of God s light coming into our consciousness and illuminating the chaos underneath. 4) By Xloating semi-transparent colors over each section of the icon, the base colors are softened and enhanced. Mistakes become veiled and redemption brings new hope.!4

5 5) Self-knowledge and inner light, Anthropos, begin to be revealed as the second highlights rexlect facets of life experience. Brighter colors are layered on top of the darker, earlier colors, but some of the earlier stages are still visible. 6) Representing repentance, the Second Float smoothens colors, heals mistakes, and provides a harmonizing base from which to build the next set of highlights. 7) The inner light of St. Patrick now begin to show on the outside in the Third Highlights, with arrows of light pointing to his face. 8) See the green stripes. They will be shaded and highlighted later. Also, the big letters on the scroll now have been gilded and the small letters have been subtly highlighted paintbrush to the icon board. < Rev. Sally Brower>!5

6 Foyer Groups Forming for the Fall The sign-ups for Foyer Groups have started and the deadline is September 5 th! The Episcopal Church calls such dinner groups foyer groups because the word foyer means welcome. The concept of St. Patrick s foyer groups is simple. We form groups of 8-10 people in the fall of the year and meet to share food, and our lives, with each other. The gatherings are informal and the members of each group make their own schedule. The groups typically meet in members homes for a meal or meet at a restaurant; the group can decide what format works best. This is a great way to become better acquainted with other St. Patrick s people! Put this on your to-do list to join a fun group of people for food and fellowship. < Jan Krumel> Open Choir Why does the choir not wear their uniform this month? During the month of July, by tradition, an "open" choir is offered. Anyone interested in trying the choir without a commitment is invited to join the choir in the choir room at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings during the month of July. Back to School Bash It s time again to donate for this year s Back to School Bash! This year s collection of items is different. The organizers could purchase school supplies with lower bulk prices. There were two ways to help out: Picking up a Tennis Shoe Tag in the narthex then dropping them off in the box at church or writing a check to St. Patrick's.. As of the July 16 th closing date, 30 pairs of tennis shoes and $630 donation had been received. These shoes will be delivered on Saturday August 5 th, at Mooresville Middle School. <Charlotte Lafon>!6
