Dear Church Family,
Well, it has been another busy week here at St. Peter's. Between the snow storm and the book sale, there has not been a dull moment. I have to send out a big thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make this sale happen. Thank you to all who have sorted, toted, and donated! I am looking forward to the book sale kick off tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
Join us this Sunday, February 24th as we celebrate Scout Sunday here at St. Peter's. We will recognize and pray for our scouts during both services. All scouts are invited to come in uniform. Also this Sunday, we have powerful readings as our lectionary focuses on the central Christian tenet of forgiveness. Our Gospel from Luke is the second half of the famous sermon on the plains. Jesus talks about the grittier side of loving your neighbor with his famous turn the other cheek message. What does forgiveness look like in our lives? Are we always called to turn the other cheek or are there things too horrible to forgive? These are important questions to ponder. I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!
Blessings,
Rev. Emily Lloyd

They'll have a meeting at the end of February to divide up responsibilities, and the egg hunt will be on April 13th. We will still have our usual St. Peter's egg hunt on Easter.

The St. Peter's
Choir rehearses every Sunday following the 10:30 service in the choir room. We welcome all persons High School age and older to join us. The ability to read music is not a requirement and no previous choir experience is necessary. The only requirements are a love for music and the ability to commit to weekly rehearsal. The Sunday rehearsal time is designed to be ideal for those who cannot commit to a weeknight rehearsal as well as parents who may have children attending Sunday school after the 10:30 service.
