Midweek services
Summer weekends are often filled with trips to area lakes, which can lead to a drop in church attendance.
St. Peter Lutheran Church has come up with a solution for those who still want to get together for prayer every week, offering a midweek worship service every Wednesday through Aug. 8.
Services begin at 7 p.m. at the church, 4620 N. Regal St. A meal at 6 p.m. will precede each service.
For more information, call the church office at (509) 487-4843.
