Getting to know you… get involved! St. Peter’s warm hospitality makes this church a welcoming place for all, creating a sense of family and a continuing reunion that binds us together. From lemonade on the lawn to the tent at Taproots, people in our community have a sense that God is on the move in this emerging church. Be part of creating many of the fellowship events that offers hospitality to parishioners and newcomers. You’re always invited… The door is always open!
Neighbors!
|
|
As St. Peter’s grows and builds the Church, we want everyone to feel connected and part of this Christian family. “Neighbors” Ministry has grouped parishioners by geographical neighborhoods. Whether it’s a gathering over lemonade on a front porch or passing down the street, make a point of getting to know your neighbors! Some groups simply gather for coffee or lemonade on the St. Peter’s lawn on Sundays.
Acts 2:42
|
|
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42
Acts 2:42 groups are those who are committed to growing in their faith through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Some groups discuss the sermon and study the Sunday scripture readings, others select a Bible study. Just as Jesus had 12 disciples, Acts 2:42 groups follow the model of being small so that we can get to know one another. Acts 2:42 groups have been known to be there for each other in times of celebration and sorrow, encouraging each other on our spiritual journey. Some groups meet weekly, others monthly. In this growing parish, Acts 2:42 groups are an important way to be connected. To join a group or start a new one, contact Tina Campbell at tcampbell@saint-peters.net.

Mary and Martha Circle
|
|
Better known as the “M&M’s”, the Mary & Martha Circle’s monthly program reflects either our “Mary” (worship) side or our “Martha” (service) side. The main service projects are serving lemonade and coffee between services; supporting our seminarians financially through the Annual Fall Auction; Altar Flowers on Mother’s Day; hosting The Christmas Coffee; and supporting other charitable projects as funds allow.

Men's Ministry
St. Peter’s Men's Ministry offers many programs, small groups ,mission-minded ministries and fellowship events for all men in the church, so that they may grow in their faith and service to Christ.
Programs include but are not limited to Men's Monthly Breakfast, Anglican 4th Day Weekend, Men's Gathering, and more. . .
Women's Ministry
The Mission and Purpose Statements for St. Peter’s Women’s Ministry Council say almost all there is to say about “who we are” and “what we do”. We are a new, “homegrown” women's council which draws together the many women's ministries that have formed in our 4 years of existence in order to aid each other and to avoid “reinventing wheels” (or duplications). All of St. Peter's women are encouraged to participate in serving Christ and His Church through these various events and organization, and we are always open to new avenues of service.
