Yesterday, June 29th, the Church remembered Sts. Peter and Paul.
“We praise You for St. Peter;
We praise You for St. Paul;
They taught both Jew and Gentile
That Christ is all in all.
To cross and sword they yielded
And saw Your kingdom come;
O God, these two apostles
Reached life through martyrdom.”
From By All Your Saints in Warfare LSB 518
You can listen to this hymn HERE, a few words different from the one in my hymnal.

Food for today:
Beer Battered Fish and Chips
(Any fish dish is appropriate today to remember Peter the Fisherman…Fisher of Men.)
St. Peter’s Key Shaped Pretzels
St. Paul and St. Peter Cupcakes
For Snack Time we ate Gold Fish Crackers with Pretzel fishing poles. Also I wanted to make those cute cupcakes, but I was out of steam and we already had a lot of other sweets floating around our kitchen counter so I made Mini Reese’s PB Cup Boats instead.
P to the S: Who lets their kid’s fingernails get that long and dirty?! Please ignore.
Merciful and eternal God, Your holy apostles Peter and Paul received grace and strength to lay down their lives for the sake of Your Son. Strenghten us by Your Holy Spirit that we may confess Your truth and at all times be ready to lay down our lives for Him who laid down His life for us, even Jesus Christ our Lord.
Oh, this looks great! Thanks for the link share. =) I love your PB cup boats – how creative (and tasty!). It looks like you guys had a great Feast!
