Search Committee Prayer. Almighty God, bless and give guidance to the Vestry, the Search Committee and this congregation in our search for a new rector. Help us to treat the candidates who apply with love and understanding. Open our eyes to your vision and our hearts to your will. Amen.

ABOUT THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE:

When an individual is placed on the St. Peter’s Prayer List for Sunday intercessions, that person’s name will remain on the list for four weeks. At the end of four weeks, names may be renewed by the individual him/herself, or by another friend or relative. In certain situations when names should remain on the intercession list for the long term, those will be treated according to pastoral discretion.

• 
  There is a Prayer Register in which any request for prayers may be written prior to the Sunday Eucharist. These requests will be read in the service that day, and added to the parish Prayer List for the following three weeks. The register is located at the back of the Chapel prior to the 8:00 service, and near the South Street doors at other times.
• 
  In our Prayers of the People, we have added names for birthdays and wedding anniversaries. If you would like to make sure your special day is remembered, please contact Lydia Zapico in the office at lzapico@stpetersmorristown.org or on the phone at 973.538.0555 x21 to confirm that we have the correct information in the database.

Summer Coffee Hour. In order to make our Summer Coffee Hour successful we need some very important volunteers. If you have never hosted Coffee Hour before please consider it and if you have hosted before you know what a wonderful experience it is. Food offerings can be kept simple. There are many open dates available to sign up for on the sign up sheets in the Great Hall along with instructions.

St. Peter's Summer Choir. Summer choir consists of a group who come 45 minutes before the start of the liturgy to practice the hymns and service music for the day and learn a simple anthem. You may come any number of weeks and do not have to commit to a regular attendance. Summer choir is open to all: children, youth and adults. Please come one Sunday morning and try it! You may discover that you love leading worship as a choir member.

No Summer Vacation for Hunger. Our Saturday Soup Kitchen is requests volunteers for the months of July and August. Needed are hot or cold casseroles, as well as lettuce and fresh fruit. We are serving 50 to 75 guests each Saturday. Please check the sign-ups posted in the Great Hall. For questions or information, call Nancy Urquhart, 973.540.9865. Our guests are always very appreciative for the wonderful lunches we serve at St.Peter's.
