MEAL TRAIN for the Fisette Family – Just need JUNE 1!
Jarmana’s dad, who passed away Sunday, went into the hospital last Wednesday. Keith was having shoulder surgery the same day and is now laid up for at least 6 weeks. Therefore, we would like to offer a meal train to support the Fisettes (Keith, Jarmana, Grace [10], Keith Anthony [2], and Samuel [2 months]) in this time of grief and recovery. Please sign up using the following link: https://mealtrain.com/m6l3y6
END OF SCHOOL OUTDOOR ICE CREAM SOCIAL OUTREACH – *New Need*
*Primary remaining need: 2-3 people for Elm Road on June 2 to prep, serve, and clean up ice cream from 1:45-3:45pm.* Secondary need: jump in to help with chairs at 1pm at the church on June 2. If you can help in either way, please email PC ASAP at adamclarknd@gmail.com.
NEW COVID Policies for St. Peter:
- Following the new CDC guidelines, masks are now optional after vaccination.
- However, please be aware that this is an adjustment period and also that some folks still may desire to mask due to special health situations, e.g. an immunocompromised person in their household. So we encourage everyone, masked and unmasked, to ask one another what they prefer and to still mask if requested. (Folks who generally will not mask thus will still want to carry one in their pocket to use if needed.)
- Please also try not to clutter up the Narthex on the way out: chat in an open space outdoors or in the wings.
- If you have COVID symptoms or a diagnosis, please join us from home by livestream until you are better.
Thank You for your support for leadership and care for each other.

We also love youth (grades 7-12) and adults without children volunteers too!
