Adult Education. The Adult Forum will be dedicated to
looking at the ways we can be empowered and what stands
in our way. Today’s topic: Why haven’t I contributed more?
Upcoming topics include:
 Why is deep intimacy elusive?
 What about Tina Fey and Amy Poehler? Can they stop
reading my mail? Why don’t I care?
Emotions Anonymous (EA) is Coming to St. Peter’s. EA is a
12 step program similar to AA. Step #1: “We admitted we were
powerless over our emotions, that our lives had become
unmanageable.” If this describes your situation, or you are
feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, please join us on Friday
evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm in the Vestry Room on the
second floor of the St. Peter’s Parish Hall. Our first meeting will
be March 20. EA meetings are completely confidential.
Lenten Program continues on Monday. Pray—eat—think
6:00 pm Evensong
6:45 pm Supper (this week hosted by the Men’s Group)
7:15 pm Talk and Discussion
8:00 pm Program Ends
Child Care will be provided and a fun project for the children will
be available along with homework help.
Please come and enjoy our Lenten Program. You can come at
anytime throughout the evening. The Choral Evensong will allow
for meditative and inspiring worship, followed by loving fellowship
and supper (hosted by the Men’s Group).
Thursday Luncheon. The luncheon will be held this
Thursday, March 19th at 12:45 pm. Our lecturer, Dr. Raymond
Frey, is back by popular demand. He’s a wonderful lecturer and
teacher. Don’t miss it! His topic is “Nothing to Fear: FDR and the
Great Depression.” Please let us know if you will attend and
whether you are bringing a casserole, salad or dessert. There is
a small donation of $2 to cover expenses. Please sign up on the
bulletin board opposite the desk, or contact Ruth Nicholson
(973-898-3759) or Verna Farmer (973-538-5441)
The annual Thursday Luncheon Road Trip will be held on
April 23, 2015 and will include a luncheon at Rod’s and
then a trip to the Bickford Theater at the Morris Museum.
Save the date! Details will be coming and sign up sheet will
be located on the bulletin board in the PH.
Lenten Mite Box Project. This year our Lenten mite boxes will
be collecting money for scholarships to our Vacation Bible School. Not
all children can afford the fees for camp, so scholarships and reduced
fees are offered. A separate hand out will be given to the children in
church school and it has also been emailed home. Adults are
encouraged and welcome to participate. Adult boxes should be
returned when full or at the end of Lent. Put your name and giving
envelope number on the box and put it in the collection plate. Boxes
are still available and can be picked up at the entrances to the
church.
from the Desk of your Parish Nurse, Lee Ann Stritehoff. Spring
is almost here and what better time to start taking better care of
ourselves? If you haven’t signed p for the Good Nutrition Lunch and
Learn being held at 12 noon on Tuesday, March 17th in the Guild
Room, please do so. Remember, lunch will be provided. See you there.
On a pastoral note, Lee Ann has been visiting Michael Aloisio. He has
been in MMH for a while and has been placed on a ventilator. They
have not be able to figure out yet the cause of his issues, but he was
moved out of ICU yesterday. His wife Candice has been posting updates
on Caringbridge.com, and although she appreciates the phone calls, she
updates the site on a regular basis so that everyone can find out how
he is doing. I went to the site this morning, quickly signed up and
posted a message and found out that he is out of the ICU. I invite you to
do the same, and keep Michael, Candice and their children Chrissie and
David in your prayers. Dee Klikier
Yoga is back at St. Peter’s on Tuesday evenings in the Guild Room.

Fond Farewell . The Rev’d Dr. Todd Brewer has resigned his position
as Associate Minister at St. Peter’s to pursue academic work full-time.
As many of you know he was awarded his PhD from Durham this fall,
and has been serving as an adjunct professor in New Testament at an
Episcopal seminary. We are thrilled that Todd will be following his
passion and send our great love and thanks to Kelly for her work in
tutoring and with the choir. May many young Bible students benefit
from Todd’s insight and faith.
The men’s Bible study which Todd so lovingly led will still be going
great guns on Saturdays and Mikael Salovaara will come wellprepared! Don’t miss it!
Alex Taormina , our newest vestry member, has agreed to jump in and
help with Youth Group. Thank you, Alex!
A number of Diocesan priests who love St. Peter’s will be on hand to
help us through. We are very blessed to have such good will and
incredible lay ministers among us.
