Upcoming Lenten Series: LIVING WATERS

Prepare yourself for Holy Week by taking a Lenten journey through this year’s midweek series that uses water in Bible events to teach and comfort God’s people in the gift of Holy Baptism. Each week centers on an Old Testament reading as the preaching text, paired with an Epistle and Gospel that echo its themes and show who God is, how the resurrection brings life out of death, and how Baptism joins us to Christ’s saving work.

Sisters in Christ

Throw these dates on your calendar and grab a friend or other St. Peter's Sister as we carve out a little time to know each other beyond the pew. (Have a "thing" you do? Let's get you on the calendar. Let Amy know.)

• Wednesday, Feb 25th at 5:00 pm Kekionga Craft Co, 7328 Maysville Rd. Come & go. Enjoy a little fellowship, prayer idea, and grab something to eat if you’d like. 
• Saturday, Feb 28th at Noon in the Cornerstone Room. We’re making homemade pasta! Member, Miranda Meyer, will teach us how to make fresh pasta during this Make & Take / Make & Eat event. Space is limited to 15 participants, with a suggested $1–$5 donation for ingredients. Each participant will also receive a small take-home gift, in addition to the pasta you make.
