Observe a Holy Lent
Lent is the church season of getting ready for the great mystery of Easter. During these 40 days, we turn our lives more fully toward God by letting go of things that separate us from God and one another and taking on on new practices of living more like Jesus. Historically this 6-week period was a time to prepare for baptism on Easter. We invite you to join us in observing a Holy Lent.

EARS in Lent
Join EARS every Thursday in Lent from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. to explore the lectionary texts from the Hebrew Bible with Biblical scholar Vicki Garvey. The offerings from the Hebrew Bible for Lent will remind us of some of the extraordinary covenants that our God made with our ancestors of the faith. And, from the Fourth Sunday of Lent, a rare glimpse of a process to heal human-made fractures thereof. DOWNLOAD FLYER (see p. 2
–– Noonday Prayer
St. Peter’s Podcast with Noonday Prayer
The Rev. Lisa Work, invites you on a heartfelt journey through the lives and faith of the people in our parish community.
Each episode will include a conversation with a member of St. Peter’s. Then all will be invited to pray together using noonday prayers from the Book of Common Prayer, offering a chance to pause and pray as a faith community.
Lisa hopes "The Real People of St. Peter's Podcast" will be part of your Lenten practices this year, as we seek to deepen our understanding of faith, embrace the transformative power of prayer, and open our hearts to the changes God calls us to make.
Together, we can discover new ways to live out our faith in action.
–– Compline
