Pastor's Message
May 2008
Greetings in Christ,
We held Cottage Meetings nearly six years ago to begin determining what the Lord was asking of us. Those meetings were well attended and helped us set some goals that have enhanced the ministry we do together at St. Peter.
Now we will benefit from repeating those gatherings. The Ministry Committee has set a series of Cottage Meeting Check-ups beginning May. We will ask members to come to one of the meetings following our Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday Worship services. You will be asked to reflect on and respond to these questions: "Where is the Lord leading us?" "What are we doing that is following the Lord's will?" and "What are we doing that will need to grow or change to do the Lord's will?"
So many are already doing so much here at St. Peter, but we recognize that we can and should do more to serve our Risen Lord. The dates for the first round of Cottage Meeting Check-ups will be: Saturday, May 10, Sunday May 11, Saturday, May 24, Sunday May 25, Wednesday, May 28, Saturday, June 7, Sunday June 8, Wednesday, June 11, Saturday, June 21, Sunday, June 22, and Wednesday, June 25. All of these Cottage Meetings will be in the parish hall right after worship. We are asking for a commitment of about a half-hour to 45 minutes. We will have information and forms to aid you in your thinking.
It is the long term goal of the ministry at St. Peter to reach for ever more exciting and challenging ministry to serve our Risen Lord.
IN Christ,
Pr. Hatcher
