UPCOMING EVENTS:
Family Table, Next Sunday, April 12. Please join us for our next Family Table. Immediately after the worship service on April 12, we will gather as a community to check-in and Christine will share updates about our church finances and capital campaign.
Thinking Faithfully: A Field Guide for Real Life, taught by the Rev. Dr. Michael DeLashmutt, Sunday, April 26, from 11:30-12:30 pm. Thinking Faithfully is a class that makes Christian theology accessible, practical, and deeply connected to everyday life. We’ll explore theology not as abstract theory for specialists, but as the language Christians already use to name what we know of God through prayer, worship, Scripture, and shared life. Together we’ll learn to recognize the “working theology” we carry - often unexamined - and refine it with clarity and confidence. This class prioritizes formation over jargon and hope over fear, so faith becomes steadier and love more grounded. Please note that there will not be class on April 19 as previously announced.
Celebration of a New Season, Friday, April 24 at 7 pm. Join us as we gather to celebrate a new season in the life of St. Peter's with the institution of Christine as rector and the appointment of Lisha as Associate Rector. In the Episcopal Church, the transition to a rectorate signals that a congregation has reached a new level of maturity and permanence, becoming more fully the church God is calling us to be with clearer identity, stronger leadership, and a deepening sense of shared mission. Bishop Matthew Heyd and Bishop Allen Shin will celebrate with us and commission the entire congregation for the season ahead. All are welcome. Please RSVP to [email protected] by April 19.
