The vibrancy of life here at St. Peter’s makes my service on our staff a joy and privilege. Visitation, teaching and preaching are the ministries that feed my pastoral identity, as together our staff and lay members share in our missional calling … Building a community of faith by God’s grace.
We extend our thanks to Jill Emmert for serving as this week’s guest devotioneer … her first time writing for us. It won’t be her last, we hope. Fifty-three first days of school. That’s how many we’ve had with our three sons so far, between pre-school, public school, and college. We’re coming up on fifty-four…

We extend our thanks to Brendan Armitage for providing this week’s devotion. “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” Exodus 20:2 Pedro greets you from somewhere “South of the border”….
