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.

On Monday, October 27, the St. Peter’s Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) helped Cub Scouts from Pack 4112 fulfill an advancement requirement by baking cookies.  The women, the boys, and the boys’ sisters all enjoyed their time together.  Everyone involved went home with some cookies, and extra cookies were given to some of the congregation’s homebound members.

Members of the Saint Peter’s LWML were featured in the most recent edition of Lutheran Women’s Quarterly, the national publication of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League/Lutheran Women in Mission. During Saint Peter’s Lent services, the women collected items like combs, soap, nail clippers, and towels which were then assembled with the help of the Algoma Cub Scouts. A shining example of Saint Peter’s partnering with other community organizations for the sake of others.
