Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
St. John 16:7

Fr. Paul led both our beautiful Holy Communion service and our Morning Prayer service this past Sunday.
Thank you Hutch for serving with him during Holy Communion!
Please find Fr. Paul's sermon at the following link:
"Trinitarian Redemption."
At the end of services Fr. Paul presented Hutch with his Lay Readers license from the APA. Bp Jones recently approved the application and issued the license. Congratulations Hutch! Thank you for all you do for St. Peter's!
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch today provided by Team 3 - Melinda, Misty, and Rose Marie. They served chicken lasagne with cranberry sauce, salad, cheese & crackers, bread & butter, chocolate pie, and blueberry cheesecake! Thank you all for the wonderful lunch!

Next Week
Holy Communion on Wednesday May 21 at 6pm with Fr. Paul.
On Thursday we have both Choir practice at 10 am and . . .
and Bible Study at 11 am. We will complete the Old Testament section of the current Bible Study on May 22. We will take a three week break and resume on Thursday June 19.
Fr. Paul is starting a Wednesday evening Bible Study. He has a sign up sheet downstairs if you are interested. The first Wednesday night Bible Study is scheduled for June 18. Also, starting June 18, the Wednesday evening services will begin at 5 pm followed immediately by the Bible Study.
Fr. Paul continues his series of Christian Education classes about Anglicanism. Adult Christian Education classes start each Sunday morning at 9:15. Please find a recording of this past Sunday's lesson, at the link below:

The children's Sunday School class also starts at 9:15.

Sue and Scott sent this beautiful note thanking St. Peter's for the Travelling Holy Communion Kit we sent to Scott in honor of his ordination to the Deaconate this week.
May God bless them both as they start their new roles at Holy Apostles Anglican Church in Pewaukee, WI!
The card is posted on the bulletin board down stairs.

We are supporting Hope House in the months of June and July for a diaper drive. They are especially in need of larger sizes of diapers (sizes 4, 5, and 6) and pull-ups (2/3T, 3/4T, and 4/5T). Donations can be placed in the nursery downstairs. If you need help or have any questions, please see Jessica. Thank you Jessica for arranging this charity drive for St. Peter's!
Hope House is a Christian based maternity home and crisis pregnancy resource center in Kingsport. Please check out their website at the following link:

Fr. Paul had a scary incident this past week. A tool box he was transporting unexpectedly slid into his rear window shattering the window. Thankfully neither he nor Benita were injured and the damage will be repaired soon!
