Projects: Ladies Aid discussed service projects for the year. One project included collecting items for the homeless such as duffel bags, large clothes, work gloves, lawn furniture, camping gear, and tents.  If you have any items that might work, contact Ann S.  A second project was to make sack lunches for the homeless. A third project included making pillowcases for the children's hospital.  If you are interested in helping with any of these projects, contact a member of Ladies Aid. The February challenge was to show love for neighbors by taking them a baked cookie or a card.

Golden Oldies’ Lunch - Noon on March 5

The Golden Oldies will meet on March 5th, at Noon for a potluck lunch and games. Invite a friend and join in the fun, food and fellowship.

Women’s Bible Study: Paul’s Letters

St. Peter is hosting a Women’s Bible Study at noon each Thursday. The women are digging into Paul's writings to read, learn and understand Paul's second letter to the Corinthians and how it can apply to our own lives. Christ and the Word become more real as we try to develop a more intimate relationship with Him and realize the work of the Holy Spirit within us to guide and empower us. Our study ends at Easter but watch for more to come.

Pastor’s Study on the Life and Significance of Martin Luther

After his trip to Germany along the ‘Martin Luther Road’, Pastor Philip hosted a six-week series of study sessions on the life and significance of Martin Luther. The class discussed the needs for reform inside the Western Church, Luther’s particular view and theology, and the significance of the Protestant movement, both in Luther’s time and in our own.

These sessions were recorded to Facebook and are available for your review at the following links:

Combination Safe For Sale

St. Peter has a large free-standing combination safe available to the highest bidder. After 40 years sitting in the closet, it is time to send it to a new home. We need the space.

The safe stands about 4 feet tall, has steel walls filled with concrete, has its own steel wheels, and has a working combination lock. (Yes, we have the combination.) Did we mention that it is VERY HEAVY? You will need your own manpower and equipment to move it and load it.

If you or a friend are interested in such a safe, please contact the church office at 512-863-5600 or a member of the church council.
