St. Peter’s Survey Opportunity
St. Peter's is participating in a national study “Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations” with the University of Minnesota and the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. This study explores the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on hundreds of Christian churches in the United States. It includes in-depth studies of how churches have engaged the challenges and opportunities presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and how churches continue to adapt and change. As part of this research, you are invited to take this survey. It should take about 12-15 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous and confidential. This is a valuable opportunity for St. Peter's attenders to share experiences and thoughts that will contribute to a better understanding of congregational life and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Paper copies are available at the Welcome Center.
Voters’ Assembly
The next congregational meeting will be held on Sunday, December 4, following worship at 10:30am. The Agenda includes an update on our facility/partnership discussions and financial updates. The fall meeting includes the election for two Board of Directors members including secretary. Names may be submitted to president@stpetersedina.org. We will also be voting to nominate two candidates for Synodical president.
Operation Christmas Child
We shipped off 44 boxes for boys and girls to experience God’s love this Christmas. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! Did you miss out? You can still create a box online. Simply make a few selections and make a payment and your box will be prepared on your behalf, including a message from you. But you only have one more day! Build your shoebox online. Your box will be sent to a location around the world and distributed through children’s ministries at churches where they will be invited to learn about Jesus. Want more information?
