St. Peter's Thursday E-mail

August 18, 2022

Worship at St. Peter's

This Sunday, August 21, we have the privilege of having Rev. Tim McCalmont continuing the series Summer of Grace by bringing the message Grace Revealed from Psalm 84:10-11; 1 John 4:9-12.

Rev. McCalmont is a native Californian, growing up in Hollywood while attending the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, where he was ordained following graduation from Fuller Seminary in 1977. He has served churches in Seattle, Washington, and Downey, California, before spending 23 years as Senior Pastor at the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant in Costa Mesa, California. He retired from that position in June of 2017 and now serves as a part-time pastor/teacher at Shepherds Grove Presbyterian Church in Irvine, California. Tim also spends time as the current moderator of the Los Ranchos Presbytery and as a member of the Syria-Lebanon Partnership Network, where he works directly with pastors and churches in the two countries. You may remember that we were very fortunate to have him as our interim pastor before Pastor Steve came to St. Peter’s.

Tim and his wife Ruth have three children who live with their families in Costa Mesa and Seattle, Washington. They plan their time to spend as much of it as possible with their grandchildren, near and far.

The service will begin at 9:00 AM in the Sanctuary or on the patio.

Worship From Home

For the live stream, which begins at 8:50 a.m., join us on YouTube. A recording of the service will be on our website and Facebook later in the afternoon.

This Sunday, the FLOWERS are given by Bernice Anderson in thanksgiving for all the prayers for her surgery.
