Inspiring Leaders through Engagement And Development
This will be our 3rd year participating in the iLEAD program and we highly encourage you to come to the plenary sessions on the dates listed below to hear some incredible speakers, completely free with continental breakfast included. Leadership development is crucial in the church. If you’ve been invited to step into a leadership role, say yes! The Lord has work for you to do. If God has given you leadership ability, and you aren’t currently serving in the church, let Pastor Nate, Pastor McDowell, or Michelle Leahy know you’re interested in iLEAD.
All iLEAD sessions start at 8:30 am. Registration is not required, but it does help the hosting church to plan for refreshments. Click on the flier below to register.

Hey's St. Peter's! How's your summer going? We want to know!
A Lifetime of Love
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
Sermon by Pastor Adam McDowell
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!
