Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers NEEDED for Traditional Worship – AV/Tech
Please consider volunteering to help with our Sunday worship service at 9:30 a.m. We need volunteers to click through our service slides (screens). It is just a PowerPoint presentation, so no “tech” skills required, and training is provided! You may be put in the rotation as many or as few times as you would like. If interested, please contact Allison at acosta@splcs.net.
Volunteers NEEDED for Modern Worship – AV/Tech
Join our Media Team at the 11:00 a.m. Modern Service! We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with slides and live streaming, helping create a dynamic and engaging worship experience. No prior experience is required—just a willingness to learn and a heart to serve. Whether you have a knack for technology or want to gain experience in media production, this is a great opportunity to get involved and make an impact. If you’re ready to help us bring worship to life for our congregation both in the room and online, we’d love to have you on the team! If interested, please contact Robert at rcosta@splcs.net.

FLU VACCINATION CLINIC – MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
St. Peter, in conjunction with CVS Pharmacy, is hosting a flu vaccination clinic on
Sunday, October 5 from 8:30am – 12:30pm
Location: St. Peter Kaiser Hall – Enter Door #12
Bring your insurance card or voucher when you come.
As we continue to deal with COVID-19 variants, it is more important than ever to be protected against influenza. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccination every season. Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Some people, including older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at a higher risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. The flu vaccine viruses are attenuated (weakened), and therefore cannot cause flu illness.
Please contact Paula at 586.322.2319 or hoegemeyer@att.net for more information.

For more information or to sign up, contact Virginia Ellsworth at 586-260-5429 or vellsworth@splcs.net.
