Come One! Come All!
Saturday, March 28th, beginning at 10:00 am we are having a Morning With The Family hosted by Mornings With Mommy. The emphasis is on the family where adults and older children can help the younger children do the crafts and activities and everyone can socialize while enjoying a snack. This is a great outreach opportunity where you can introduce yourself and St. Peter to members of our community. You are all invited. To help us have an accurate head count, if you plan on attending please register online under the Mornings With Mommy link, or contact Rebecca Kreger. There is no fee to attend. Hope to see you there.

Tickets are $35, and your money is due to Karen Adams by March 29. Make checks out to Karen Adams.
Taste of Modesto – March 19

Giving Tree
From now through June, the St. Peter Giving Tree will offer members the opportunity to support the Modesto Pregnancy Center. The organization began in 1988, serving the community, “through a system of support with the love of Jesus Christ.” It provides a variety of services to new and expecting mothers, as well as those dealing with post-abortion trauma.
The Modesto Pregnancy Center is currently seeking car seat donations, as well as diapers, sizes 4 and 5, which are generally in short supply. These items are posted on our giving tree, and can be purchased through Amazon.com. Please consider serving our Lord in this way.

Are You Interested in Going on a Tour?
Pastor Schroeder is looking at the possibility of joining another WELS pastor in hosting a tour of Biblical sites. It would be an 11-day tour in which we would be visiting Greece, Egypt, Israel, and Turkey. Seven nights would be on a cruise ship traveling to different ports to see Bible places like Athens, Cairo, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Cyprus, Corinth, and Ephesus. We are looking at going around April 5-16, 2021 (the week after Easter about 1.5 years from now, which would give people time to save for the trip). Flying out of San Francisco, the cost of the tour would be about $4897 per person. This price includes everything but some lunches
that would be on your own. If you want to ask what a tour like this is like, please talk with Kevin & Monica Hejnal or Walt & Darci Luihn, who recently went on an Israel tour with Pastor using this same tour company. Pastor is trying to find out what kind of interest there is in such a tour, so please let him know if this is something you think you’d like to do. If you would like to the proposed itinerary, you can see it at: http://bit.ly/tour2021_SP
