Dear Faithful People of Saint Peter's Church:
The Fourth Sunday of Easter - April 29 - is popularly known as "Good Shepherd" Sunday because Psalm 23 and Jesus' words in Saint John 10 are at the core of this Sunday's liturgy every year. Our tradition at Saint Peter's Church is to celebrate this Easter Sunday by including rites for healing in all of our liturgies. That is what you can expect this Sunday.
Also this Sunday, Lucinda Mosher will conclude her three-week series WHAT JEWS WANT CHRISTIANS TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT. In yet another year of great fora, this series has been one of the best! There is much for us to learn here.
One members of our community is rejoicing. Francoise Muhongerwa will become a citizen of the United States on Friday, April 27, 2012! Please join her and her daugher Rebecca in giving God thanks.
Two members of our community are mourning. Kristian Krai's brother-in-law, George Moschkau, died this past week from ALS. Joe Brewer is mourning the murder of his best friend from his high school days, Matthew Renken. Please pray for them as they seek God's comfort.
We lost a marvelous member of our community this past week. Joan Anderson passed away last Thursday after a long hospitalization with breathing issues. With us, New York's Jazz Community mourns her. Please remember her in your prayers with thanksgiving.
Saint Peter's Program Year moves swiftly toward its annual June culminations. Here's a quick look at what lies ahead.
- Saturday, May 19 at 4:00 p.m., our annual Memorial Vespers
- Sunday, May 27 , the Day of Pentecost

OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE |
PLEASE HELP JAY NEW YORK
Last summer's hurricane Irene created some inconvenience, but little damage to New York City. However, our northern neighbors in Jay (a small Adirondack town) were so severely damaged by this "once in 500-year storm" that they may not ever recover. The town's three hamlets of: Jay, Upper Jay, and Au Sable Forks, lost thousands of trees, its roads and bridges were damaged, as were many homes.
The community has organized relief efforts, but their local resources have not been sufficient for their needs, and they have asked for help from others. New York State and some other relief organizations have participated, but more is needed.
If you are interested in more information and helping to rebuild the town, please visit, http://www.helpjayny.org/events.html.
Donations are tax deductible, and they really need your assistance.
Send to:
Jay Flood Relief Fund
c/o Adirondack Community Trust
PO Box 288
Lake Placid, NY 12946
Fliers can be found in the Narthex.
THE MOMENTUM PROJECT
The Momentum Project continues to serve all those with food security issues: the disabled, the unemployed, the homeless, seniors, families with children, and those enduring serious illnesses. Due to severe budget cuts, volunteers are needed for the lunch and dinner program on Tuesdays at Saint Peter's Church:
Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for lunch.
Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for dinner.
If you would like to help with the catering staff and make a difference in your community, please call the Momentum Volunteer Manager, Charles Vaccaro, at 212-691-8100 extension 2104.
SAINT PETER'S BREAKFAST PROGRAM
On Tuesday 158 guests were fed this past Tuesday. So far, we've served 2,805 guests in 2012. 7,643 guests were served in 2011.
To volunteer, come to the front desk between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday mornings.
