Dear Parishioners of St. Peter's,
We are in the midst of a very busy time at St. Peter's. Our Rummage Sale opens on Thursday. We are in the process of painting, carpeting and sprucing up the Rectory in anticipation of the arrival of Rev. Emily Lloyd, our new priest-in-charge. The Just Lunch program continues to be popular with the youth of Poolesville High School. Work has started this week on the installation of our new playground.
With all this "busyness," this week also marks the kick-off of our Stewardship Campaign. Soon you will receive a letter from our Stewardship Chair, John Clayton. Over the next several weeks, I hope that you will prayerfully consider how you can help support furthering the mission of St. Peter's.
In faith,
Mary Pat Wilson

Gracious and Courageous Conversations:
Deepening understanding about race, community, and country In response to recent events in our country and the Cathedral's recent removal of the Lee-Jackson windows, the Cathedral and the Diocese of Washington invite you to join us for guided conversation about our nation's long struggle with race and racism. We will invite you to listen deeply and speak truthfully, so that we may understand our shared history. We will not blame others or minimize anyone's experiences, nor expect "right" answers. We will listen, learn, sing and pray together and continue the journey toward freedom and justice for all. In collaboration with Kaleidoscope Institute.
Monday, October 16, 6:15-9:15pm
