NOTHING BUT THE BEST
Dear faithful people of Saint Peter’s Church:

2019 Stewardship Envelopes are ready!

This Sunday we observe the third of the historically-celebrated epiphanies of Jesus: Christ’s first miracle according to Saint John’s Gospel: changing of water into wine at the wedding at Cana. This is also the Sunday our nation commemorates the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and we commit ourselves to continue working for justice, especially racial justice.

Saint Peter’s Church is closed on Monday, January 21.

Nancy Purnell’s Memorial, planned by her family, is tomorrow (Friday, January 18) from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Two members of our extended Saint Peter's Church family died this past week. Stephen Burgess, Tim Blaquiere's beloved stepfather, who has been on our prayer list for several years, died on Tuesday morning, January 15 after a long battle with cancer; and concert organist Felix Hell's father, Hans, died in Germany on Sunday, January 13, after prolonged illness. Please keep Tim and his husband Craig Kahler, and Felix and his wife Grace, in your prayers.
Eternal life grant them, O Lord,
and may light perpetual shine upon them.

We've created a small meditation space in the Sanctuary behind the fabric hanging using the pews and altar from the Chapel.

Monday, January 21 marks the beginning of HVAC, window, skylight, celing and lighting construction in the chapel. This week is "demo week." And so this begins.


Peace and Courage!
The Rev. Amandus J. Derr
Senior Pastor
