Worship on Campus

This Sunday, February 5, is a Communion Sunday. We have the privilege of having the Rev. Dr. Steve Wirth bring the message Straining After Images from Matthew 5:13-20.

Dr. Wirth served as a parish pastor for 35 years in San Diego, Lafayette, and Long Beach, CA. He was born and raised in Iowa and graduated from the University of Dubuque and Dubuque Theological Seminary. He earned his doctorate in adult spiritual formation at San Francisco Theological Seminary. After leaving parish ministry, he served five more years with the Presbyterian Foundation as the Southwest Regional Rep, serving New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Hawaii. Back surgery made traveling difficult, and Dr. Wirth retired in 2018 on his 40th anniversary of ordination. He enjoys golf and serves on the Committee of Ministry at Los Ranchos Presbytery. His wife, Katharin, is currently a professor of voice at CSULB and has published five books on vocal pedagogy. They have a son, Alex, who, along with his wife Megan Cochran, serve as pastors in San Diego. Their 5-year-old daughter, Clarus, is the light of their lives, and they are happy to live nearby.



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

S.H.I.P.

NEEDS A FEW GOOD MEN

S.H.I.P. (Self-Help Interfaith Program) is designed to assist homeless people who work and need a little help getting back on their feet by providing temporary housing, food, and counseling. Their facility had a fire recently and has become uninhabitable. As they rebuild, local churches have been coming alongside to help by offering space for beds and food for five participants for short 2-week periods.

We need Chaperones who are on campus when the participants are here. Men are needed nightly from 5:45 p.m. -7:00 a.m. the following day to have dinner and bunk with them. Chaperones are also needed Saturdays and Sundays for a 7:00 a.m.-noon shift and a noon to 5:45 p.m. shift.

You can get more information or sign-up to help on the patio this Sunday or e-mail outreach@stpetershb.org.
