SPECIAL Lenten Prayer Request – Please Submit One!
Our journey through Lent to Easter is a great time to renew our focus on prayer, including intercessory prayer for others. To this end, we are creating a special Lenten Prayer Sheet to distribute to the WHOLE congregation. To participate, please click the following link, read the short instructions, and submit ONE major prayer request you would like everyone to pray for as we head toward Easter: https://forms.gle/CmcX3BE5dHx5JXqD9
Submitting Regular Prayer Requests
We would like to ensure that both pastors get all prayer requests and that they also get to the pastor who ends up doing prayers on any given Sunday. To help, please email your requests to PB, PC, & Jenna (all three): revborger@mac.com, adamclarknd@gmail.com, splcsecretary@att.net.
These emails will be listed at the top of the prayer sheet posted each week, going forward.

Lenten Devotions for Youth Available NOW
Throughout Lent, children will read verses from Matthew’s gospel and place a sticker on the easy-to-assemble cross centerpiece. The daily devotions in this sticker booklet will remind children and families that we are not alone as we gather around the cross at Lent. Each day they will gather in Jesus’ name to learn about his act of saving love.
Lenten Devotions for SPY Available NOW
Drawing teens into reflection on Christ’s death and resurrection, this daily devotional for Lent also challenges them to find new and creative ways to spread the good news of the resurrection through words, images and actions. The 47 observational reflections in this booklet for young adults take a tip from the popular photo-sharing app in guiding the way through the sights, sounds and sensations of the holy season.
Current COVID Policies for St. Peter:
