Hi Folks. Here are some news items for the coming week.

You may take as many puzzles as you bring! There will be tables to spread out the puzzles. This event will take place in the parking lot to allow for distancing. Everyone is required to mask up and keep 6ft apart. Info at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b4fa4a72da3f58-stpeters1. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Molly Olmsted astaloo@me.com.

MID-WEEK LENTEN SERVICE
Mid-week outdoor, in-person Lenten services continue tonight (March 17) at 7:00 p.m. We will gather under and around the church portico at the main entrance to the church building. Services will be brief with a short liturgy, the offering of communion and a brief reflection on the theme of the day. We hope you will consider joining us for these safe expressions of communal worship.
LIVE STREAM WORSHIP THIS WEEK
This Sunday, March 7, we will worship in the sanctuary via Live-stream at our usual time of 10:45 a.m. at https://www.stpeterslutheran.org/live. We continue our Lenten journey through the Gospel lens of the story of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple. We hope you will join us as we take our liturgical journey of Lent to the cross of Calvary.
