“Our task is to make disciples for Jesus Christ”
We welcome you to St. Peter’s Lutheran
Church. Thank you for worshiping with us, as
we give thanks and praise to Jesus Christ our
Lord and Savior. If you are new, please
introduce yourself to Pastor Katie, sign the
guest book and the pew pad. We would love
to give you a token of appreciation for
worshiping here today.
The Sanctuary candle burns in loving memory
of Mrs. Rebecca Peabody.
Today we welcome choir members from all
over our community to St. Peter’s as they
present ”Jesus, Only Jesus”, an Easter cantata,
at our 9:00 am worship service! They will
proclaim the good news of Jesus’ resurrection
to us today. Thank you being here!
We are getting together to make meals for
“Your Neighbors” on Thursday, May 21st at
10:00 am. There is a sign-up sheet on the
bulletin board. We are aiming for 100 meals.
It does not take long with 4 or 5 people. For
more information talk with Deb Rafte.
You’re invited to bring red geraniums to
decorate the altar for Sunday, May 24,
Pentecost. Red is the color of the Holy Spirit
and we will be “on fire” with beautiful red
flowers for Pentecost! Any geraniums left
afterward will be planted in the church garden.
For May, our Mission of the Month is the
Lutheran Charities Appeal of the Central
Crossroads Conference. The appeal benefits
ten different ministries that make a difference
right here in central New York. St. Peter’s
members benefit directly from several of
them. You can designate your gift using the
envelope in your bulletin, or donate to
whatever is needed most in the “bear jar”.
We are continuing our can tab collection for
Synod Assembly in the large plastic jar on the
Welcome Table. Please try to have your tabs
here by next Sunday. Thanks!
We are in need of coffee (both regular &
decaf) for our Sunday morning coffee hours.
Contact Betty Browell or Nan Richard for
more information.
Would you like to make an offering to help
earthquake victims in Nepal? Please check the
Welcome Table for a flyer on how to give
through Lutheran World Relief. 100% of
donations go to provide help.
