LENT AT ST. PETER’S: SLEEP FOR A WEARY WORLD This Lent, St. Peter's will be building on last year’s theme of Sabbath by focusing on sleep, God’s gift to humanity yet one that often eludes us. We are partnering with Julian Davis Reid from Notes of Rest to guide us through our theme with weekly reflections and lullabies. Sign up for our email to receive them. Check out our Lent schedule below and go to our website for resources to deepen your practice:

LENTEN COMPLINE, Sundays through March 17, 9 pm on Zoom Start the first day of the week with the night prayers of the Church as we entrust our lives, our loved ones and our world to God’s loving care. Various members of St. Peter’s will be leading the prayers each week. RSVP to rsvp@stpeterschelsea.org for the Zoom link.
LISTENING TO YOUR WISDOM WITHIN, 11:30-12:30 in the Rectory. We regularly have a collection of inner voices, cues, and intuitions that give us information about what we think and feel. Sometimes these voices are loud and some we may have tuned out. In this workshop we will practice some exercises that will help us notice and pay attention to our inner wisdom. RSVP to Kimberly Malone at lindeninsights@gmail.com. Also being offered online: Monday April 22 @7pm EASTER (POTLUCK) BRUNCH! This Easter, we thought it could be fun to once again come together to celebrate Easter as a church body with an Easter brunch in the rectory. It is open to all, including friends and guests who come for the Easter service. We just ask that you please RSVP to Ellie Price at gabrielleelizabethprice@gmail.com by March 25th (so we can make sure there’s enough food for everyone). If you can make it and are able, we’d love for you to bring a dish, dessert or drink to share. Email Ellie and she will send you a link to sign up.
