WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY (12/27)
This Sunday we revisit the style of worship loved by many during the Easter Season, where congregation members of all ages record videos for the readings, prayers, passing of peace, and music. This carol-filled worship is a great way to begin the first Sunday of Christmas. Look for the link in Saturday's worship email.

Note that worship will be ONLINE ONLY and there will be NO COMMUNION.

2020 END-OF-YEAR GIVING
To all those who have given so generously this year, thank you for your faithful financial support of St. Peter's. 

The end of the year is historically a season marked by generosity, both in our church and in our culture at large. As you reflect on 2020 and give thanks to God for His many blessings, please consider how you might respond to God's graciousness in your life. Giving back to God a portion of what He has given us is one way we show our thankfulness to Him.
