"The REAL Miracle at Cana"
Friends, we'll hear a very familiar Gospel story this weekend. It's popular at weddings and it's become a larger-than-life miracle story. As spiritual and sophisticated as we are, we sometimes lose sight of the more important part of this iconic story. As a Harry Potter fan, I love the world of magic and Wizards and Muggles. However, what is most true and timeless in those stories by JK Rowling is the application of the magic to real life.
Don't be deterred by the impending snow storm. Come and hear from our Pastoral Assistant Vince Corso talk about how the Real Miracle at Cana can happen every day in our own home.

Christine's Kitchen
The cold weather is here and our friends at Christine's Kitchen are in need of a hot meal. On Saturday, January 19th, we'll be serving lunch to 60-80 men, women, and children. Please consider donating food or volunteering 1-2 hours of your time to help make this meal a delicious one!
If you'd like to donate food items, look for the sign-up sheet at the back of the church on Sunday, January 13th or contact Jennifer Vonderahe at
[email protected].
Dinner rolls, bananas, large bottles of juice, and desserts are a few of the food items our hungry friends enjoy.
Thank you for your consideration!

Sunday School
|
|
It is a new year with important lessons being taught in Sunday School. This is not only a time when children learn stories from the bible, but they also learn to THINK about their faith through discussion, "wondering" questions and even through crafts.
The children also build relationships with one another and God that carry them through Communion Class, Confirmation Class and SPY.
They become friends, but also a support system.
My 20-year-old is still getting together with his SPY friends when home from college. Other members of SPY have shared how much they love having this different group of friends outside of their school circles.
Like everything else in life, the more you put in...the more you get out. If you have any questions about Sunday School or children's programming at St. Peter's please give me a call. I love talking about it :)
Faith & Peace,

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
PART II
On Sunday, January 20
th after the 10 AM service, the St. Peter's
Health and Healing Ministry will present the second part of our planning for the future with The Five Wishes.
- The Person I Want To Make Care Decisions for Me When I Can't
- The Kind of Medical Treatment I Want or Don't Want
- How Comfortable I Want to Be
- How I Want People to Treat Me
- What I Want My Loved Ones to Know
There are many things in life that are out of our hands. The Five Wishes document which will be provided at this workshop gives you a way to control something very important--how you are treated if you get seriously ill. It is an easy-to-complete form that lets you say exactly what you want. Once it is filled out and properly signed, it is valid under the laws of most states.
Please come to plan for your future in the undercroft after the 10 am service. Any questions, please call or email Rev. Susan Negrotto (201-637-2962, [email protected])
