There's Been a Change

Transcript


PN: Hey St. Peter's. Yesterday we had a change to policy-based governance and we're really excited about it. We saw some good things in the voter’s meeting. Everybody was working together and we had the opportunity to stand up together as a congregation and say, “This is what we would like to see happen.” That is something I'm really proud of, and I know Pastor McDowell is proud of it too. 


PM: You know, I was sitting next to somebody that wants to get more involved with our congregation and they were thinking, “Do all meetings go this well whenever there's a big decision?” Not always, but we're thankful for that happening this time. I'm also thankful to see people already coming in and asking, “How can we work together and move forward in this process together.” Pastor Nate, I know that you've had conversations here, even in just the first few hours Monday morning.


PN: I have, and it’s exciting. We're hitting the ground running and we're making sure that everything's moving forward. And we're really glad to see that happening, because St. Peter's is moving toward the future and we're moving with it, and working together. 


PM: Absolutely. Working together with you and for you. I know that all of the staff, all of the volunteers are just really looking forward to understanding how we will continue doing this and continue doing it well. 


PN: Yes, peace be with you and thanks for being a part of this process with us. God's blessings.

A Lifetime of Love
By Pastor Nate Widener July 28, 2025
St. Peter’s Family, My wife Amy and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the outpouring of love you have shown us over the last several weeks. This past weekend, my oldest daughter Gwyn was married to our wonderful son-in-law Benjamin Corley, and we couldn’t be happier. But, what made it all the sweeter was seeing so many of your caring and supportive faces in the congregation. Similarly, as you know, just a few short weeks ago I lost my father, Nick Widener, and I cannot express to you the depth of my thankfulness for all of the condolences that you have given me and my family. Your cards are all sitting on the windowsill of my office. Without question St. Peter’s is a loving and caring congregation, and this is part of what makes you so great. Thank you for taking care of us, so that we can also take care of you. May God Bless you, Pastor Nate

As we begin our new preschool year, we will need some supplies. It takes a lot of glue, markers and paint to keep preschoolers busy. Please consider taking a letter or two from our “Giving Tree”. Each letter is labeled with a needed supply item to be donated. Once you have shopped, you can return the item(s) to the tree. Thank you for your generosity as you bless our preschool. You are truly appreciated!
