NEW BIRTH RENEWED
Dear faithful people of Saint Peter's Church,

March 17 is the Second Sunday in Lent (Sunday’s are always celebrations of Christ’s Resurrection, hence are in not of Lent). In the Gospel (Saint John 3:1-17) Jesus begins renewing the promises of baptism in us.

Sunday’s 10:00 a.m. Forum led by Dr. Dennis Raverty is The "New Negro" and the Harlem Renaissance. It will take place in the Plaza Room.

Following this Wednesday’s 6:00 p.m. Evening Prayer, Susan Shellhart leads a conversation on Evolutionary Christianity.

Carole and I are away beginning March 16. We'll be back at mass on Sunday, March 31.

Peace and courage!
The Rev. Amandus J. Derr
Senior Pastor
GOOD TO KNOW
  • Johann Sebastian Bach’s The Passion According to Saint John is presented Friday, April 19 at Noon in its original setting: in liturgy on Good Friday, much as it would have been at Leipzig's Nikolaikirche on April 7, 1724. Please click HERE and use code BACH19 to reserve your seat in advance!

  • If you would like to serve as a hospitality volunteer for the Good Friday Noon liturgy to welcome visitors and Saint Peter’s members, please email Sarah at smoga@saintpeters.org.

  • The Fiction Book Discussion Group will next meet on Sunday, April 14 (Palm Sunday) to discuss An American Marriage by Tayari Jones, which was just released in paperback in February.

Those interested will go out for food afterwards. All are welcome to come and join us!
