Jesus prays for His believers St. Peter Worship Sunday, May 8th

Welcome to St. Peter! Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia. Our Easter joy and celebration continues this final weekend of the Easter season as we gather to worship and praise the living and ascended Jesus. Today’s Scripture lessons, hymns and prayers emphasize how Jesus has commissioned and guides his church to bring his water of life to thirsty souls.

Welcome to St. Peter! There are friendship registers at the end of each pew. Please take a moment to give us your information so that we have a record of your time with us today. Thank you!

For Our Guests If you have questions, let us try to help. Speak with an usher, greeter, or the person next to you. If you’d like to learn more about St. Peter and its ministry, please talk to a pastor or member after the service.

Prayer before Worship O God of peace, I turn aside from an unquiet world, seeking rest for my spirit and light for my thoughts. I bring my work to be sanctified, my wounds to be healed, my sins to be forgiven, my hopes to be renewed. In you is perfect harmony. Draw me to yourself, and silence the discords of my wasteful life. Your greatness is beyond my highest praise. Take me out of the loneliness of self, and fill me with the fullness of your peace. Amen.

Please be courteous and silence all pagers and cell phones. Thank you
