Welcome to St. Peter's

Celebrate Rose Sunday with us this week! Join our potluck at 11:15am. #Lent #Fellowship https://conta.cc/3Y6DF7K

Parish Workday Saturday, April 5 at 8am We will prepare our building and grounds for Easter. There will be opportunities inside and outside. Bring work gloves! Look for a sign up posted on the volunteer board across from the office. Lunch provided.

We need two nursery attendants for this Sunday, March 30. Please let Janet or Rev. Michelle know if you can help.

Join us for a candlelit night of music and prayer in the Taizé tradition tonight in the sanctuary. The music of Taizé is a repetitive singing of prayer chants that focus on simple phrases, often from Scripture, sung in canon. The repetitiveness of the music and prayer creates a meditative prayer experience. The overall service is broken up into elements of psalms, scripture readings, prayer intercessions, and time for silent reflection.

Join us this Sunday for worship, formation and a special Coffee Hour to say farewell and send off Buddy Payne as he heads to Camp DaySpring ! #Lent #Community https://conta.cc/4iQdFFS
