St. Peter's Early Childhood Program is planning a carnival-style fundraiser on Saturday May 4 th from 10- 2:00 with a silent auction. Proceeds will be used to support classroom and playground enhancement. We are in need of volunteers for set up/take down and for helping to supervise games and activities during the event. We can offer SSL hours for students. If you are willing to help for even an hour, please contact Beth Watt at stpetersecp@gmail.com. This event is open to the entire community and we are hoping to draw a large crowd.
- RUMMAGE SALE Thank you to everyone who helped make the Spring Rummage Sale a great success! We had gorgeous weather and hundreds of customers looking for treasurers. Proceeds were over $12,500. Without our dedicated volunteers we could never have such a fabulous sale. Our leftovers went to a variety of charities, including the Vietnam Vets, several different thrift shops that support those in low income areas, animal welfare and women re-entering the workforce. Children's books are going to Amadon-Bowen Elementary in SW DC. Cook books are helping to teach a group of women to read and cook. All the other books collected at the rummage sale were donated to the Montgomery County library system for sale to support the library.
- E-BAY SALES The Women of St. Peter's have a charity based E-Bay account. Because it is a charity, there are no commissions taken out by E-Bay. ALL proceeds are dedicated to reduce the principal on the loan balance of the mortgage. If you have something of value or of interest that you would like to donate to this cause, please contact Barbara at bkandreassen@comcast.net . To view what is for sale now, control+click this link: https://www.ebay.com/usr/women_of_st_peters . To see all items for sale once you are in the WSP store, click on "see all items" at the top. Once in that list, check out all the items recently sold by checking the "sold" box on the left. It is an amazing assortment! Thank you to Erik Andreassen for managing these listings and sales.

Join us on Tuesday nights, May 7th - June 4thfrom 6:30-8:30 for a 5 week opportunity to record ways that you have seen God working in your life. Each week, some of our time will be spent looking at Scripture (which demands that we record God's good deeds and pass them along to our children) and sharing stories, but most of our time will be spent in quiet reflection. Please sign up on the sheet in the entry by May 3rd. Bring a notebook, pen/pencil and Bible to the class. We'll meet in the Choir Room.
- 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. For more information, please contact Daniel Weatherholt, Director of Music at dweatherholt@stpeterspoolesville.org
