As we pray together each day at 3pm, this week let us pray for our diocesan priests.
Easter Lilies in Memory of Loved Ones
Remember a loved one - those who have gone from us, and those who are still enriching our lives - through a memorial gift of Easter lilies. The flowers will adorn the church and Jaegar Hall on Easter Sunday. The cost is $20 per plant. Please make your check payable to St. Peter Church and put “Easter lilies” and the name of the person you wish to honor in the memo section. Please place your order no later than Friday, April 11.

Diocesan Ministry Appeal (DMA)
Along with Peter, James, and John, we are Jesus’ disciples, charged with the task of proclaiming God’s glory. When we sustain programs and organizations that bring the Gospel message to those who need to hear the Good News, like the Diocesan Ministry Appeal, we are heeding the voice in the cloud “that said, ‘This is my chosen Son; listen to him.’”

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within
both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen
