Ministries

Stewardship

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. At St. Peter’s, stewardship is more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s also about contributing time and talents, and volunteering for ministry and mission. For more information about stewardship at St. Peter’s call the rectory or contact Stewardship Chair Laura Bonamici at: stewardship@stpetersspotswood.org

Formation

Christian formation is the lifelong process of growing in our relationship with God, self, others, and all creation. 

  • Sunday School: St. Peter’s is a vibrant parish of young families. Our Sunday School reflects our dynamic diversity and commitment to our youngest members. For more information call the rectory or contact Sunday School administrator Christina Maffa-Johnson at sundayschool@stpetersspotswood.org

Spiritual Support

Peace, understanding, a place to listen and a place to be heard… this is how we care for one another. Spiritual support is the basis of Women’s and Men’s gatherings, monthly We meet at a local diner for food, fellowship and prayer. For more information regarding the Women’s Breakfast, contact Maureen Barlow at womensbreakfast@stpetersspotswood.org and for the Men’s Breakfast, contact Craig Kafafian at mensbreakfast@stpetersspotswood.org.

Worship

Coming together in observance and adoration takes many hands, including those beside Father Marshall during service, our lectors sharing the word and those who have prepared the altar and cared for the vessels and linens that adorn it. For more information on how you can take part in this ministry, contact Father Marshall at rector@stpetersspotswood.org. Ushers, our frontline ambassadors of protocol, also play a critical role in our worship service. For more information about how you can serve as an usher, contact John Hamilton at ushers@stpetersspotswood.org.
