SUMMARY:Relaxed Christmas Eve Service
DESCRIPTION:This Christmas Worship Service is a shush-free environment that will feature a children’s story instead of a sermon. It is especially popular for those with young children. However\, all ages are welcome at this less formal service where attendees are free to talk\, move around\, make noise\, or leave and re-enter as needed.

SUMMARY:Advent Series: The Will to Dream
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 6-week Advent series rooted in prophetic imagination—a phrase powerfully explored by the late theologian and biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann—in the sacred practice to see beyond what is and move toward what could be. Each week\, we will explore a theme rooted in one of our lectionary readings and engage the theme through a variety of approaches\, including Bible Study\, art\, our own experiences\, spiritual practices\, and more.  \nThis Advent series provides tools to help us confront despair\, embody justice\, and claim hope as a radical act. From Isaiah’s vision to Mary’s song\, we will find ourselves in the story—and begin to dream not as escape\, but as spiritual resistance.  \nRead more from the creators about The Will to Dream: In this time of upheaval\, we find trust is fragile\, truth contested\, and spaces between us feel harder to cross. Divisions stretch far and wide. The constant churn of political tension leaves many feeling anxious and uncertain. Community feels strained\, and connection is harder to come by. Hearts are weary\, and souls unsettled\, and people of all perspectives are searching—not just for answers\, but for understanding\, healing\, and hope.  \nThis ache is not weakness; it is a holy longing—a sacred desire for a world made whole. From this longing comes the will to dream—a persistent courage to imagine\, resist\, and rebuild a better world. Join us this Advent through Epiphany as we turn to the wisdom of the prophets\, lament systems that value power over people\, and dream of what could be. \nJoin us in-person or on Zoom: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85002518007?pwd=gjH3NfiynVAYlnHZOHADmRgsW1etUy.1Meeting ID: 850 0251 8007; Passcode: 717275

SUMMARY:Blue Christmas
DESCRIPTION:This time of year can be particularly difficult for those who are grieving\, struggling\, or suffering. The world is telling us that we should be happy\, that everyone else is happy\, and yet we are not feeling it. On December 18\, St. Peter’s will have a Blue Christmas service. This is a simple service of prayer and reflection\, a time to acknowledge our sadness and pain\, to remember those we love who have died\, and to offer it all to our great sign of hope\, the Holy Child of Bethlehem.

SUMMARY:Bible Study: Mary\, Mother of God
DESCRIPTION:The Gospels paint a picture of “Mother Mary” as anything but “meek and mild”. Unlike all the other prophets who come up with reasons they should be excused from God’s call\, Mary says “yes” to conspiring with God to cast down the mighty from their thrones and lift up the lowly. \nJoin Rev. Laurie and members of St. Peter’s during the weeks leading up to Christmas to reflect on the Mary of scripture and perhaps get to know this highly favored\, unwed\, pregnant girl for the first time. \n\nAll are welcome. You do not need to do anything to prepare. Come as you are. This Morning Prayer is on Zoom only\, not in-person! Join on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84073270479?pwd=r9Ur0NRyDxbmb0sPk0ykauzq9BTva2.1.\nMeeting ID: 840 7327 0479; Passcode: 517297

SUMMARY:Advent Series: The Will to Dream
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 6-week Advent series rooted in prophetic imagination—a phrase powerfully explored by the late theologian and biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann—in the sacred practice to see beyond what is and move toward what could be. Each week\, we will explore a theme rooted in one of our lectionary readings and engage the theme through a variety of approaches\, including Bible Study\, art\, our own experiences\, spiritual practices\, and more.  \nThis Advent series provides tools to help us confront despair\, embody justice\, and claim hope as a radical act. From Isaiah’s vision to Mary’s song\, we will find ourselves in the story—and begin to dream not as escape\, but as spiritual resistance.  \nRead more from the creators about The Will to Dream: In this time of upheaval\, we find trust is fragile\, truth contested\, and spaces between us feel harder to cross. Divisions stretch far and wide. The constant churn of political tension leaves many feeling anxious and uncertain. Community feels strained\, and connection is harder to come by. Hearts are weary\, and souls unsettled\, and people of all perspectives are searching—not just for answers\, but for understanding\, healing\, and hope.  \nThis ache is not weakness; it is a holy longing—a sacred desire for a world made whole. From this longing comes the will to dream—a persistent courage to imagine\, resist\, and rebuild a better world. Join us this Advent through Epiphany as we turn to the wisdom of the prophets\, lament systems that value power over people\, and dream of what could be. \nJoin us in-person or on Zoom: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85002518007?pwd=gjH3NfiynVAYlnHZOHADmRgsW1etUy.1Meeting ID: 850 0251 8007; Passcode: 717275
