Installation of Bishop Richard Pates
Bishop Richard E. Pates, the new bishop of our diocese will be installed on Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. The ceremony will be held at Hyvee Hall, 730 Third Street (near Wells Fargo) in downtown Des Moines. You are invited! Please join us on a comfortable charter bus as we travel to Des Moines to participate in the installation liturgy for our new bishop. Two departure points are available: St. Patrick’s (Council Bluffs) at 11:15 a.m. and St. Patrick’s (Neola) at 11:45 a.m. We will depart Des Moines immediately after the reception at approximately 4:45 p.m. and arrive back in Neola at 6:15 p.m. and Council Bluffs at 6:45 p.m. Cost is $20.00 per person, payable to St. Peter’s Church.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Saint Peter's Power Lab Vacation Bible School is coming June 9-14 and we need your help. If you would like to volunteer please contact Jennifer Hundtofte at the main parish office. Mark your calendars for the volunteer kick-off meeting on Sunday February 17 at 4:00 PM.

Bible Study
I will begin bible study on Wednesday, June 4 at 7:00 p.m. We will study the Wisdom books beginning with the book of Job. The reason that the classes are beginning later is because of the installation of Bishop Pates. If you wish to come to bible study all you need to do is show up. I have the bibles that we use for the study. If you have never been to bible study before, please come. It is a wonderful time to learn about the word of God and to have a wonderful time with the people of St. Peters. The desserts are always wonderful!

First Communion and Confirmation Gifts
If you are looking for confirmation and first communion gifts you can find them by going to our web sight and ordering on line. Of all of the items purchased a ten percent refund is credited to the parish.

Parish Council, Finance Council and School Board
This June we will be changing memberships on the parish council, finance council and the John Cool will end his term on the school board. We will need four new members for the parish council, four new members for the finance council and one representative to the school board. I hope that many people come forward to serve on these committees. It seems like it is more and more difficult to find people willing to serve on these committees. We also need a chair couple to serve on the Oktoberfest committee. If you want to be more involved in St. Peters parish this is a great way to do this.

Media Review Website
I have found a web site that reviews movies, televisions shows and music. The web sight is: Plugged In OnLine. I hope that this web sight will be helpful for you to in determining the media to which you and your children are exposed.

WOMENS PRAYER GROUP
Womes's prayer group meets every Tuesday at 3:00 PM inthe Rallis home. Any woman in the parish is welcome. FOr information, call Jacquie at 232-3974.
