Financial Secretary, Cindy Fannin; Bookkeeper, Jackie Baldwin; Sunday School teachers (See Youth Pastor report and Sunday School
report for complete list); Confirmation mentors: Bruce/ Kris Zillmer, Joe/ Missy Stuhr, Melissa Smith, Erin Bonikowske; Confirmation Tech

We see God at work through the work done by volunteer leaders (elected or appointed) of St. Peter’s: Hospitality/ Welcome Team

God has blessed us through many testimonies given at Sunday Worship by individual member (sharing something God has done in
their life such as a healing)
and how we have partnered with Him in His work
We see a pattern of God powerfully at work in the areas of HEALING MINISTRY and YOUTH MINISTRY. So we continue to
faithfully follow and partner with God in those areas. God has MORE for us and we continue to seek what that means, and to
lean into it/grow into it. And God is calling us to be a CHURCH ON THE MOVE, so we prayerfully consider what that means and how
God is moving us and moving in us!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Janice
