During the season of Advent we will be holding brief services on Wednesdays, December 5, 12, and 19, to help you with your preparation to receive the Christ child. Our theme is “Stars of Promise,” and we will see how God spoke promises through the stars of Creation, the stars that Abraham beheld, and the Star of Bethlehem. Service will be at 7:00 PM and will be preceded by a meal at 6:00 PM.
If a noon service works better for your schedule, our sister congregation St. John’s in Algoma (Rankin) has a service at noon, which lasts 40 minutes or less for those who would like to attend during their lunch hour.

Just a quick reminder that St. Peter’s will be holding service tonight at 7:00 PM to make up for the cancelled service on Sunday. If it works better for you, our sister congregation, St. John’s in Algoma (Rankin), will be holding services at noon today. We hear that their pastor is a decent fellow.
