Advent Midweek Services
Saint Peters will be observing special worship services in Advent to aid you in your spiritual preparations for the Feast of the Nativity (Christmas). Saint Peters will conduct services on December 3, 10, and 17 at 7:00 PM, preceded by a parish meal. The service will begin with a ten minute hymn sing and then proceed with “Holden Evening Prayer,” a beautiful setting of the ancient prayer service of Vespers. If you prefer to worship in the noon hour, our sister congregation Saint John’s in Algoma will conduct a service at that time on the same days. The sermon will be the same, but it will use an abbreviated liturgy that will last no more than forty minutes. This service will also be preceded by a meal.
Sunday School Classes to Begin Half Hour Earlier in December
Sunday, December 7, 14, and 21 Sunday School will start at 9:00 AM. We are going to practice the Christmas program first then have Sunday School with the remaining time.
