Church of St. Peter

God expects us to cultivate the gifts He has given us even more in this time, during which the Corona virus came into our life as a guest, unexpected, unknown, and lethal; above all, unwanted. Despite the pandemic, we have been witnessing a certain beautiful flourishing of faith, charity, and other signs of the creative work of the Holy Spirit through the freedom of believers.

Why do we dare to continue with you the Stewardship as a Way of Life in this uncertain New Year at the Church of St. Peter? We humbly dare to continue the Stewardship as a Way of Life at the Church of St. Peter, because of the willingness to abandon the old, what is behind us, and begin to desire to be created again by the power of God’s Holy Spirit within the Church.

"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10 describes the desire we have at St. Peter’s to deepen our Faith, Hope and Charity toward the church and our brothers all over the world.
 

As disciples of Jesus Christ we recognize the importance of being good stewards of the many gifts He has given us.  The Church of St. Peter provides many ways to enrich your relationship with Jesus through engaging worship and a commitment to daily prayer. 

As a community, we are striving to make Stewardship a Way of Life for all of our members so we can show our gratitude to God for the many gifts He has given to each one of us.
 

As part of our Stewardship formation, our community prays our Stewardship Prayer together at select times during our weekend liturgies, and we encourage parishioners to offer this prayer on their own. Additional copies of our parish Stewardship Prayer are available from our ministry board in the church entryway.
 

The Church of St. Peter offers many opportunities for our parish families to use their God-given talents to help us strengthen and build the Kingdom of God.  We encourage you to spend some time in prayer asking the Lord what talents He’s asking you to share with the people of St. Peter.

The Church of St. Peter organizes our volunteer opportunities into three categories: From the Parish, In the Parish, and Hosted by the Parish.

 Ministries identified as “From the Parish” are essential to the life of our parish include Eucharistic minister, lectors, sacristans, catechists and other important volunteer roles.

Ministries identified as “In the Parish” are ministries that enhance our parish life and help us serve our neighbors. Ministries in this category include the backpack program, Council of Women baptismal bib making, our celebrating seniors and others.
 
Ministries identified as “Hosted by the Parish” are ministries from other organizations that are closely related to our community, include many of our parishioners, and who use our parish facilities. Examples of ministries hosted by the parish include the Knights of Columbus, Boy Scouts, Hope for the Journey home and others.

 Information on all of our volunteer opportunities is available from our parish ministry board in the Church entry way and on our website. We are excited to welcome you, and your gifts of time and talent in service to our parish.

As living disciples of Jesus we recognize that everything we have is a gift from God to be used in service to Christ’s Holy Church. This “need to give” is our response of gratitude for all we’ve received since there is not a single part of our life that has not been touched by God’s grace.


We invite you to consider making a commitment to financially support our parish through your stewardship of treasure. The Lord will not be outdone in generosity, so in that spirit we ask you to prayerfully pledge your weekly, monthly or annual support to the parish by completing the pledge card in your Welcome Packet.
