Serving in the Church

Offering your talents or acts of service is often something we all want to do, but not always sure where to start. Opportunities present themselves, but it's hard to remember them all or keep track of something that called to you at one point. The Serve tab in the Realm Connect app continues to add areas that are open and looking for someone just like you. Log in on your computer or through the app on your phone and scroll through the Roles to see if one is a good fit for you. Remember, signing up doesn't commit you to it, but does share that you'd like to be contacted about it.

Sisters in Christ: Book Folding Craft

Friday, September 18th @ 6 pm in the Cornerstone Room

Join Alicia Weaver as she shows us how to fold a book in such a way to reveal an angel (and a few other designs) as she shares with us how St. Peter’s partner’s with Angel Tree in the coming months. She’ll have some books for those who register early or you can bring your own! She recommends one with at least 150 pages and can be either hard or soft cover. Bring a snack to share!

We also gather the last Wednesday each month (August 26th this week and September 30th) at 5:00 pm Kekionga Craft Co, 7328 Maysville Rd. Come & go. Enjoy a little fellowship, prayer idea, and grab something to eat if you’d like.
