UPCOMING EVENTS:
HOLY WEEK:
EASTER (POTLUCK) BRUNCH! This Easter, we will 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 Caitlin Mitchell at [email protected] by April 15th (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 Caitlin and she will send you a link to sign up.
EXPLORATION OF THE DIACONATE, Sunday, April 27: Right after the 10 am worship service on Sunday, April 27, Archdeacon Denise LaVetty will talk about the history of deacons in the United States and offer a look at the meaning and significance of the diaconate and its presence in the church today. She will discuss the many ways deacons factor into the evolving needs of the church. The talk will end with Q & A.
ST. PETER’S HAPPY HOUR, Friday, May 2, 5:30-7:30 pm. In our worship tradition, feasting lasts longer than fasting - 50 days versus 40. Celebrate the Easter season with St. Peter’s and join us in the Garden for happy hour! (We’ll move inside if it rains). Bring a beverage or snack to share or just yourself. No RSVP needed.
NEW SERIES! ENNEAGRAM 101, May 11, 18, June 1, 11:30-12:30 pm. Taught by Ian Trevethan. The Enneagram of personality is a wisdom tradition that can enable us to better understand ourselves and our relationships. Over the course of 3 weeks, we’ll discover the type(s) we most strongly identify with, understand how and why we’ve taken on the limitations of those types, and learn some practices so that we can live with greater freedom within our types.
