Announcements
Welcome to St Peter’s! Our hope is that you will find God’s love present with you in this place and that you will return here often to worship.
Christian Ed classes for both children and adults meet at 10AM in the Parish House. The curriculum is “Living the Good News” for both children and adults and is based on the Lectionary. You can join the discussion at any time and not feel “behind”.
The beautiful cross on the sacristy door has been made for St Peter’s by Helmut Linne von Berg from the old, 1836 roof timbers which were removed to allow reconstruction of the belfry. In the "footbloc" an old square nail, which was made with a hammer and anvil, is visible. The darker finished wood has a mahogany finish to match the trim in our sanctuary. Helmut hopes that this cross will remind us of victory over death and of suffering, and that it will point to the unimaginable love our heavenly Father has for us–a reminder that Christ died for us so that we may live.
Happy Birthday – Perry Bowen (Nov. 27th), Ruth TenHoven (Nov. 29th)
Happy Anniversary – The Fortunes (Nov. 28th), Bill & Sandra Smith (Nov. 30th)
