LENTEN OPPORTUNITIES
The Season of Lent presents many opportunities for renewal, reconciliation and spiritual discovery at St. Peter’s and in the Diocese. Please plan to avail yourself of the many opportunities to engage more fully in the following events and activities:
Daily Lenten Meditation and Prayer
- Forward Day by Day booklets provide wonderful daily meditations following the Daily Lectionary. Online Click Here. Booklets are available at no charge at the church.
- Daily Prayer: As your day draws to a close, experience Evening Prayer in the beauty and sanctity of St. Peter's Church on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, or participate via the livestream. Or start your day Mondays and Saturdays with Morning Prayer. Go to the Daily Prayer page to learn more: Daily Prayer.
Sunday Adult Education Opportunities
- Speaking with God through Lent: Transfiguring Prayer for You – Led by Pastor Greg Harbaugh, this Sunday morning series at 9:40 a.m. in the library explores differing forms and structures for prayer. We will use the Lenten Gospel Readings for each Sunday as a scriptural resource.
Weekday Adult Education Opportunities
- Zoom Bible Study? Contact Pastor Greg if you are interested in being part of a weekly Bible study.
Wednesday Noon Eucharist and Healing Service:
When we hurt others and God we have the sacrament of reconciliation where our sins are forgiven. When we are hurt ourselves — physically, emotionally, spiritually — we have the sacrament of anointing. This Lenten season, participate via livestream or in person at St. Peter's in our 40-minute Wednesday noon service for healing, forgiveness, and spiritual nourishment. Click here for the livestream link. Click here for information about in-person worship.
Walking the Way of the Cross
We are offering two opportunities in Lent on Fridays at 7 p.m. in the church to walk the way of the cross in this ancient rite of Stations of the Cross. For 30 minutes we will walk around the church as the faithful have done for centuries stopping to remember and pray at the 14 stations from Jesus’ condemnation to death by Pilate through his walk to Calvary and death on the cross to his being laid in a tomb. Enter into being a witness to Christ’s passion by participating in Stations of the Cross March 6th and March 27th. Come to the church to walk the Way of the Cross. We will also livestream the services - you can connect to the livestream by CLICKING HERE.
Almsgiving: UTO Mite Boxes
Pick up your United Thank Offering (UTO) Mite box at church. Every time you are blessed, put a coin in the box. Boxes will be collected at the UTO Ingathering on the Second Sunday of Easter, April 12. For more information on UTO, go to: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/united-thank-offering.

Watch with the Blessed Sacrament
In Holy Week between Maundy Thursday (April 2) and Good Friday (April 3) the Reserved Sacrament is taken out of the church to the Altar of Repose and the faithful are asked to watch for one hour at a time, in remembrance of Jesus’ time in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion. A Sign-Up Sheet will be available on the table outside the parlor by Holy Week where you can sign up for an hour. Click here for FAQs.
