Parish Notices for Sunday
February 7, 2016

The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the contributions of young people and adults to Scouting. As sponsor and host to Boy Scout Troop 43, and Cub Scout Pack 153, it is our pleasure to honor these young men and their families annually on this day.

Following the service, there will be a ceremony honoring retiring Scoutmaster Phil Jacobs and the installation of Ray Polk. The Scouts will be serving a buffet breakfast in the parish hall following the 10:15 service. All are invited!

Lent is upon us, and this Wednesday is Ash Wednesday! There will be two services of Holy Communion with the distribution of Ashes, 9:00 am in St. Edmund's Chapel, and the Choral Service at 7:30 pm.

St. Peter's Parish will be hosting the Deanery Lenten Program this year. Please join us on Tuesdays, beginning February 16 and continuing through March 15. The evenings begin with Eucharist at 6 pm, followed by a light supper of soup and salad and the program. This year's program is "The Christian Response to the Environment." There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for volunteers to provide and serve the last soup supper on March 15. Please consider participating in our hospitality for this Deanery-wide event! See below for details.

"The Art of Song" will be the next offering in our Music at St. Peter's Concert Series on Sunday, February 21, at 4:00 pm. Please see below for more details.

Lifeline Health Screenings will be available in the Parish Hall on Tuesday, March 15. For detailed information and registration information, please pick up a flyer available in the narthex and in the hallway opposite St. Edmund's Chapel.
