DAY CAMP WAS AWESOME!!

A huge thank you to all who helped make Day Camp a success. About 75 campers, counselors, and chaperones filled the halls of Saint Peter with singing, paint, crafts, songs, snacks, bikes, and of course, the “Hippo Song.” How can you more fully live into the charge of extending grace and unconditional love?

FAITH IN ACTION DOCUMENTARY NIGHT JULY 28 @ 7 P.M.

Saint Peter’s Faith In Action (FIA) committee is hosting a documentary viewing and discussion on Friday, July 28th, beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Bethany L.'s backyard. The evening is designed to raise awareness around the opioid and fentanyl crisis. We will view “Killer High: The Silent Crisis.” This documentary explores the impact of fentanyl as a multifaceted public health and public safety issue.

FIA’s mission is to spark conversation, foster curiosity and embody God’s love. We will discuss the issues through our faith-based lens. How can we educate ourselves as a community and bring compassion to the narrative surrounding addiction?

All are welcome to come and bring a friend. Please bring a light snack to share. Beverages will be provided. Dress for the weather, as the showing will be outdoors. Please RSVP to Jeanne Maloney (jmaloney@stplc.org) if you plan to attend or have any questions.
