Mr. Linton Receives Call
Principal Matt Linton has received a divine call to Illinois Lutheran High School. The call is to teach government/economics, history, and English at the school, which is located in Crete, Illinois, south of Chicago. Please remember him and Melissa in your prayers as he considers this call.

Sunday Morning Nursery Care
We are presently in great need of volunteers to help with the nursery care during the 10:30 am service on Sunday mornings. It is good if we have four or more that can rotate through the schedule. Soon we will be down to only one volunteer. If you can help in this way please talk with Dan Kreger, Debbie Schulz or Pastor Janke or call the church office at 551-0563.

Upcoming Youth Events
A Pizza and Bible study night will be held on Friday, March 19th at Elizabeth & Sarah Dias’ home from 7-9 pm. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Please bring a dessert or snack to share. All 7th through 12th grade teens are invited.

Save the date - Saturday, April 17 for a day trip to Gilroy Gardens in Gilroy, CA.

Plants for Easter
If you would like to donate flowers to adorn the chancel area for Easter, a sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. You my choose Easter lily, hydrangea, azalea or tulip in any combination and quantity. The final day to sign up for Easter flowers will be Sunday, March 28.

Work Day at Church
Another way for St. Peter members to assist in our Easter outreach is to lend a hand with our annual spring work day. This is a way to make sure that our buildings and grounds will be in excellent shape when our guests join us. This year’s work day will take place on Saturday, March 20, starting at 8:00 am. Lunch will be provided. A list of work day projects is posted in the narthex at church. If March 20 doesn’t work for you, you may also select one of the work day projects and take care of it at a time that’s more convenient for you.

Easter Outreach Plans
Our evangelism committee has made plans to deliver 3000 invitations to our neighbors to attend our Easter services. The invitations will be delivered on Saturday morning, March 27. Visitors will receive a free copy of the new video “The Road to Emmaus.” We were able to obtain 100 copies of the video for just $1.50 per copy through an anonymous gift to the WELS. Our Easter morning schedule will not only include a delicious Easter breakfast cooked up by Chef Mike Hazelwood and his crew, but this year there will also be an Easter egg hunt following the 10:30 service.

Here are some ways that St. Peter members can assist in our Easter outreach:
• Help deliver invitations on Saturday morning, March 27
• Invite your friends, neighbors and relatives to join us for Easter services
• Assist on Easter morning with the breakfast preparations and serving (men)
• Serve as a greeter before and after either the 8:00 or 10:30 service
• Help with the Easter egg hunt (prior to Easter or on Easter (Sunday)
• Help set up for Easter breakfast (Saturday, April 3) or assist with clean-up

The resurrection of our Savior Jesus is great news for the whole world. Let’s work together to help as many people as possible know the peace and joy of Jesus’ Easter victory.

LWMS Spring Rally
The Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society will hold its spring rally at Hope Lutheran Church in Penryn on Saturday, April 17, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The speaker that day will be Pastor Steve Hillmer of The Springs Lutheran Church, the new WELS mission in Sparks, Nevada. If you’re planning to attend the rally, please sign up on the reservation sheet in the narthex. If you’d like to attend but need a ride, you can indicate that as well.

Bible Studies
Sunday School
The key point of today’s Sunday School lesson is that, in our sin, we are lost from God and doomed to die, but God, in His love, sought and found us and keeps us with Him forever. The Bible story is about Jesus seeking the lost as recorded by St. Luke (Luke 15). God keeps us through the work of the Holy Spirit in the Word and the Sacraments.
