The Off the Square Players of East Troy will be presenting its annual holiday show. The production this year is UH - OH - HERE COMES CHRISTMAS by Robert Fulghum. The author is best known for his book ALL I REALLLY KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN. This charming show takes a funny, heartwarming and often poignant look at the struggle to find the spirit of the holidays amid the avalanche of commercialism, stress and chaos that crashes down every December. This delightful production promises to rekindle the true spirit of the holidays in its audiences. The show is being directed by Mary Hubbard Nugent. Performances will be December 13, 27 and 28 at 7:30 pm and December 15 and 29 at 2 pm and the newly remodeled Backstage Ivans. Tickets are $15 and are available at East Troy House and brownpapertickets.com.

Thank you to all who have taken a Giving Tree tag. This year we had a record of 156 tags and St Peter’s parishioners rose to the challenge and took all of them. Thanks you for your generosity. Now in order to get the Christmas gifts you have purchased, to the families who need them, all of the gifts should be wrapped and returned to church no later than Sunday, December 8. It is very important that the tag you picked be affixed to the wrapped gift. Each tag will have a confidential code so that the gifts can be matched with the recipient.

Human Concerns is looking for volunteers to call upon to help parishioners in need. Such as: grocery shopping, take to Dr. appts, drop off a meal, etc. Once the request is received, Agnes Peiffer contacts a volunteer on the rotation list to fulfill the need.

Each year a very generous donor purchases our beautiful calendars. Once again they have been kind to our parish and the calendars are available in the back of the church. We ask that at this time, you take only one per family until everyone has had an opportunity to take one home.
This is one of the many generous gifts that helps support this parish, without whom we would be unable to provide these calendars.

This year there are 2 additional options for giving on the Giving Tree tags. There have been a couple of questions regarding these.
First, there are "Angel Fund" tags which are used to help pay a student's balance for hot lunch in the schools. Students with an unpaid balance get cheese sandwiches instead of a hot lunch. If you write a check to East Troy Community School District for the Angel Fund, the school social worker will direct it to the appropriate student lunch account which is need of payment.
The WE Energy tags can be used by recipients who are struggling to pay their power bill. These gift cards can be purchased online at "we-energies.com" and search for gift card options. if you purchase and return a gift card, the card will go to a family in our community in need of this assistance

St. Peter’s parishioners donated 283 pounds of food and $120.00 cash. Thanks so much.

“Breaking Bread” missals for 2020 with Sunday readings are available in the Parish Office during regular business hours for $13.00 each.

Last draft of the directory completed and books are in production. Thanks to Doris Sprague, Judy Mitten and the parish office crew for their double check before publication. Our hope is that they will be in for Christmas.

Fall Festival financials are in. Thank you for helping us raise over $13,000 for our parish. See you next year!
