St. Peter's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church

April 25, 2024

Can you envision a world where we start each day from the viewpoint that everyone is inherently good? How would our lives transform if we looked into the face of each of our neighbors and saw the presence of the risen Christ in them?

As Christians, we’re called to both imagine and co-create a world in which that inherent goodness is seen and honored. And folks in our parish and around the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island are living into this calling through Episcopal Ministries of Long Island (EMLI).

Right now, during the Episcopal Ministries Annual Appeal, you can play a vital role in ministries that are touching the lives of over 50,000 of our neighbors in need.

When you donate to EMLI, you become a vital part of this thriving and growing ministry network that is transforming our church into the Body of Christ.

Please make a commitment to these remarkable ministries today by making a gift to EMLI before Episcopal Ministries Sunday on May 5: episcopalministries.org/donate

The Fourth Sunday of Easter

— Parish Notices —

You are invited to Coffee Hour in the Lounge, immediately following the service. Members of the Ministry of St. Peter’s Organic Farm are our hosts today.

Bible study continues in the Lounge on Thursdays at 10:00 am. All are invited!

CALLING VOLUNTEERS: Next Saturday, April 27, beginning at 9AM, we will be doing some maintenance projects around the buildings and need assistance with power washing and other tasks. Please let Brian know if you are available to help.

Episcopal Church Women T-Shirt Collection: Spring is here and again, the ECW will be collecting new t-shirts for the less fortunate. All sizes are needed—men, women, and children. Watch for sales or check the Dollar Stores ($1.25). Everyone wears a t-shirt! Even to Church! There is a collection box in the narthex. Thanks for your help.

St. Peter’s Parish will be the recipient of a generous gift from the Episcopal Ministries of Long Island (EMLI) Mission Grants for our combined ministries of the Organic Garden and Food Pantry. The grant will be used primarily for expenses such as plants, seeds, soil amendments, equipment, landscaping, deliveries, supplies, marketing, and outreach. Because of this grant, donations to the pantry can be used exclusively for groceries. We are extremely grateful that our hard work is making a difference in our community with the support of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island!
