Have you ever dreamt of walking in the footsteps of Jesus? Pastor John is planning a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and you are invited. We will leave from Logan Airport in Boston on February 13th, 2024. I have led Holy Land trips with the tour company Educational Opportunites (EO) twice before- in 1990 and 1997. They are an excellent organization. Please pray about joining the group and being blessed with a trip of a lifetime. Please email pastorjohn3333@gmail.com for information. You can find out about the trip by visiting the EO website at https://www.eo.travelwithus.com/tours/hl23a#.ZFJPduzMJz8 We will be traveling as a church, but others are invited to come along. I know God is reaching out to people to come together for this pilgrimage. Email or call me if you have questions. This trip to the Holy Land will bless you in so many ways.
Pastor John is putting together a group to join the Walk for Hope on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 1:00 pm in Hyannis. The Youth Group will do the walk and anyone else who would like to join. It is a 3-mile course and our goal is to raise money for HAC (Housing Assistance Corp.) Call the office if you are interested in walking. St. Peter’s is doing a mini walk on Saturday May 20 at 10 am. It will be 1 mile of easy paced walking ending back at the church with refreshments at the finish and your chance to donate to HAC. No registration needed. Just show up.
