The WSP has items for sale that didn't make it to the last rummage sale. For those with gardens who like to freeze things for the winter, we have 2 vacuum food sealers, one Rival and one Food Saver model. Both work and come with a supply of bags, yours for $35 each (retails for around $100 not including bags). Any food that is vacuum sealed will keep much longer in your freezer than storage in zip lock freezer bags. If you are interested, please email Barbara: bkandreassen@comcast.net .

The WSP is also selling items on E-Bay, if you'd like to sell things through the WSP to help pay down the building loan, contact Barbara. If you are selling things on your own you can designate The Women of St. Peter's to receive a percentage as a charity. Check us out and see what we are selling now: https://charity.ebay.com/charity/Women-of-St.-Peters/105463 .

Please join Sandy Miller at 9am each Sunday for Practicing Our Faith - take a journey through The Book of Common Prayer, the Christian life, and basic beliefs of our faith in this 26-session. You do not need to attend all sessions to get something out of this study so join whenever you are able! See how our prayer shapes our belief and our lives and how our beliefs lead us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Even though we pray the words of The Book of Common Prayer each week, many of us don't know where these prayers come from, what they mean, or how they call us to live on a daily basis.
