Fund Raising |
|
Not
only does the Fund Raising ministry raise funds for the ongoing use of the
Church, they also spread the word about our family to the community
through outreach efforts. Our Annual Bazaar in December is well attended
by vendors and the public alike. Events like the Pasta Supper, Bake Sales
and other events are met with much success and new members to our parish.
Contact Eric Pertschuk. |

Hospitality/Fellowship |
|
Hospitality ministry coordinates Social Hour on Sundays, runs social
events and gatherings and works to increase the family of St. Peter’s
through fellowship and outreach. Provides various programs and social
events during the year to build up fellowship and help people get to know
each other. They also organize greeters to identify and welcome those who
come to St. Peter’s for the first time or return after long absences. They
ensure that newcomers meet people, find out about St. Peter’s, inform the
rector so he can contact them and generally works to increase the
congregation by letting newcomers know they are welcome. They also
organize newcomer’s events held at least annually to allow newcomers to
meet other members of the congregation in a social setting. |
| Prayer
Chain |

Requests
for prayers for themselves or
others are passed down by phone
or e-mail to each member on the
prayer chain. Requests may be
made by filling out the Pew
Request form in the church and
placing in the collection plate
or by calling the Parish Office. Contact Angie Fatum: apfatum@yahoo.com |

Property |
|
The
Property ministry takes care of the building and grounds. They plan for
the future and ensure that the day to day running of the buildings is
sufficient for the ongoing work of the church. |
|
Stewardship |
|
The Stewardship ministry is
the foundational committee of the Church. Through Stewardship we get a
basis for our budget and the work that we can do through the year to
spread the Gospel. Stewardship also works to inform our congregation about
long-term planning and memorial gifts. Stewardship is the basis of our
Church and our work fulfilling our mission. |
