Saint Patrick's Episcopal Church

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

The Knitters Guild of Incline Village meets every Wednesday from 1 - 3 p.m. in the church library. The members knit and crochet layettes for newborns, mittens, hats, scarves, blankets, and other warm items for children and adults who need them. Donations are made throughout the year to North Tahoe Family Resource Center in Kings Beach, Tahoe Forest Hospital, and the Senior Center in Truckee, as well as the Holiday Giving Program here in Incline Village. A supply of warm hats has been given to the counselor at Incline Elementary School to give to children who come to school on cold days without something to keep their heads warm. Chemo caps, made of very soft yarn, are provided to the American Cancer Society in Reno for people undergoing chemotherapy. If you know of anyone who could use one of these lovely caps, please let us know. Several guild members go to Incline Elementary School each Monday from 3-4 p.m to teach 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders how to knit and crochet. Currently, about twenty-five enthusiastic students participate in this after-school activity. The guild is currently in its twelfth year of helping others! We welcome anyone who loves to knit or crochet; if your skills need refreshing, we will be glad to help you. Supplies of yarn, needles, and patterns are available. Call Peggy Harrison at 775-831-9402 for more information, or drop in any Wednesday.

The Good Samaritans is a group of parishioners who form a Parish Needs Team to help members of the congregation. Parishioners are needed to help members of the congregation who could use a little help in time of need by having meals prepared, receiving a card, getting a visit from someone with a good listening ear and a warm hug. We may not be needed all the time, but occasionally we may be needed for several services at once. If you are interested in helping with this group, please contact Lenty Hagen by phone at 832-0857 or email lenty_hagen@sbcglobal.net or Dave Mussatti by phone at 831-1418 or email at dmussatti@tahoeepiscopal.org. God bless you.
