ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN NOW UNDERWAY FOR 2019
St. Peter's is preparing to search for a priest to serve as our permanent rector. The Search Committee is at this time preparing materials that will describe the present mission and ministry of this Church and the ways in which members demonstrate their commitment to a sacrificial life in Christ. One indicator of commitment among others is what you give to sustain St. Peter's and the wider Church. The Vestry will be drafting the budget for 2019 in November including a compensation package for the new priest. We are praying for 100% participation in this year's campaign. We ask that you please return your pledge card no later than November 18th to make all this and more possible. We are grateful for your generosity.

STEWARDSHIP: “JOINING IN AND REACHING OUT”
St. Peters Church is a place where God's love and presence reside as we continue to worship, hear God's word, and be inspired to live in the light of his love. On our journey to generosity, we learn from our parents and other family members. We learn from friends and church members. We learn through our own actions and from hearing the stories of other generous people.
The gospel stories of Jesus inform, challenge, and inspire us. Whether it’s the story of the Good Samaritan, the rich young ruler, or Zacchaeus, Jesus invites us into what the journey to generosity looks like. The annual giving campaign is an opportunity not just to raise support for the life-giving ministry of the congregation, but also to encourage people to think about the role of money in their lives and how the stewarding of money is an aspect of discipleship.
Making a financial pledge and fulfilling your pledge ensures St. Peter’s continues to be able to do all we are called to by our heavenly Father. Join us this year in Joining in, and Reaching Out.
If you would like to join our Stewardship team, please contact Pastor Lynne Grifo, a member of the Vestry, or the Church Office.
