Cleansed of sin, the life of a believer is one of service and thanksgiving St. Peter Worship Sunday October 27th

Welcome to St. Peter! Welcome to the house of the LORD for worship this 23rd Sunday after Pentecost. As we worship together today, the hymns, prayers and Scripture readings focus on our lives of thanksgiving and service since we have been cleansed from our sins through Jesus. May God bless your “thankful” worship!

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!
