Ann Whitaker’s Retirement Celebration
Sunday, February 11 at 10:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall
The Rev. Ann Whitaker will be retiring from St. Peter’s on February 13th. Please join us at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 11 in the Parish Hall as we celebrate Ann’s ministry and wish her well in her next life journey of retirement. In lieu of a purse, Ann has requested that donations be made in her honor to Heifer International, an organization that is near and dear to her heart. The website is https://www.heifer.org.
We will have an area set up in the Parish Hall next week where you can also leave a donation in the form of a check, with “Ann Whitaker’s retirement” written on it.

Confirmation
The Bishop’s visitation is on Sunday, April 22, 2018. This year, we will make the Sacrament of Confirmation available to students, 7th grade and up, and to all adults who are new to the Episcopal Church. The youth will join with the adults for Confirmation prep through Lent and early-Eastertide. We will have 7 sessions (2/18, 2/25, 3/4, 3/11, 3/18, 4/8, and 4/15) on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall, which will focus on what makes us unique in the Body of Christ as Episcopalians. You may resister for Confirmation through the link below. Christina Rutland, our Youth and Young Adult Minister, will follow up with more details on the schedule, format, and expectations of this program for our youth. Please contact the Rev. Jody Burnett or Kara Howland with any questions.
Confirmation Registration 2018
Through the season of Lent, all parishioners of St. Peter’s are invited to join in a nation-wide movement to read the Gospel of Luke together. We will have four small-group opportunities at different times during the week for members to come together for study, prayer, and conversation. Everyone is encouraged to begin reading on February 11, prior to your first group meeting.
