Small Group Ministry
Our first informative small group meeting will be at the church on Sunday, December 7th from 11:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. There will be three new groups with more details to follow: Pastor Weist and Mark Duffy will lead one on Marriage, Vicar Marc will lead one and Adam Bradley will lead one on a book of the bible (in-depth). We will have snacks at the gathering and we will discuss what will be taking place at your individual small groups, what you will be studying and when and how often you will be meeting.

Transforming Congregation Self-Study
Mark your calendar! On January 23, 24 & 25, 2009, our congregation will be taking part in “The Transforming Congregation” Self-Study. Pastors from the Ohio District will be working with our church to help us move forward on our mission and 5-year plan. All of our members, guests and staff will be taking part in the self study and we will have a special worship service on Sunday, January 25th, 2009.

Nursing Home Ministry
St. Peter’s Nursing Home Worship Group visits The Beachwood Pointe Care Center at 23900 Chagrin Blvd. the first Sunday of every month at 2:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to take part, but we encourage youth to participate as the residents really enjoy having them.

Two Programs For Recylcing
For recycling aluminum cans, the Junior High Group is sponsoring an aluminum cans recycling drive for Burned Children. It will benefit the Burn Unit at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital. There are cardboard containers on the lower level inside the church and by the coffee bar in the Great Room. As for paper recycling, Abitibi will be placing a green and yellow container by the Winslow exit. We will also place boxes inside the church for your used paper. Go green! Recycle!

St. Peter’s Anniversary (1883 - 2008)

In Thanksgiving to God for all the blessings given to our congregation, we celebrated our 125 anniversary of the founding of St. Peter’s through a series of events. These special events started with Rally Day, September 7th. This was followed by Tonya Baker Gospel Concert on October 11th with a dessert buffet after the concert. We ended our celebrations with a special Worship Service and Dinner on November 9th. Click on the link for more details.

American Red Cross Blood Drive

The Blood Drive on Sunday, September 21st, was a big success. Twenty-six people walked through the door. There were twenty-two good units of blood with four deferrals. Six people were first time donors. We only needed twenty donors for a revisit so there is a good possibility there will be another blood drive in 5-6 months. Keep looking out for the next date! A BIG THANKS to everyone who donated and to the people who contributed bakery items. You helped save a life.

Five Year Plan for St. Peter's
At the June 2008 Voters’ Meeting, a new Five Year Plan was proposed. What does this mean ? It means that God is truly moving among St. Peter's. We have a great responsibility to “Embrace the world around us with the love of Jesus Christ.” God has called us to seek and save the lost. We are told in Acts 4:17, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” God has given us the privilege to share with Him in proclaiming the Good News! We are excited to making a difference in this community and in the world for our Lord. So let us role up our sleeves and get to work!

New Vicar at St. Peter’s
We are excited to have Vicar Marc Cohen (seminary intern who was installed on Sunday, August 17th, 2008) for 2008-2009. He will be working with us and Building Hope in the City. Marc and his wife Cheryl are both 28 years old. He is attending Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO. He and his wife are very passionate about Missions having served as a missionary for Panama for one year. Marc's emphasis will be on missions, church planting, and tutoring, with the goal of helping to plant a new cross-cultural worship worship service.
