Lenten Worship at St. Peder’s
Join us on Wednesday evenings throughout Lent for a simple soup supper from 5:30-6:30 pm, hosted by our members. This time of fellowship is followed by contemplation and worship as we join together for Holden evening prayer at 7:00 pm throughout the Lenten season.
Following the prayer service, many join for Lenten Book Study, a time of discussion and shared spiritual insight as we journey through Be Still and Know: God’s Presence in Silence by Norris J. Chumley.
HOLY WEEK AT ST PEDER’S

We hope you’ll make time to be a part of this journey that is at the core of our Christian faith. Invite a friend to worship with you as we open our hearts and doors during this holy season!

Savory Spring Farms CSA comes to St. Peder’s
A CSA (community supported agriculture) is a direct relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and consumers. By purchasing a CSA membership, you become a partner alongside the farmers, and you’ll receive a “share” of the harvest bounty – fresh, organic vegetables & fruit – delivered directly to St. Peder’s.
