We give to St. Peter’s because... Janet & Jim Brothers …going to church has defined who we are and giving to St. Peter’s gives others the same opportunity. …we treasure being part of St. Peter’s caring community of believers. … St. Peter’s embraces and creates unity from our diversity. …our support enables St. Peter’s to sustain its missions. …it is our responsibility to ensure the well-being of St. Peter’s. Expanding our circles of giving Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. My Top Five Reasons for Giving to St. Peter’s Dan Courtney 5 St. Peter’s makes a difference in this community and specifically my life. 4St. Peter’s needs our support to serve others. 3St. Peter’s Sunday bulletins have the best meditation quotes in the world. 2I believe God is still speaking through the ministries of the United Church of Christ and St. Peter’s. 1St. Peter’s Covenant of Welcome welcomes everyone who has faith or who seeks it, who lives in hope or who needs it. Expanding our circles of giving. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
