->Earthquake Fund – The Earthquake occurred a year ago on Aug 23. Since then, we received a matching grant of $3,500 from the Diocese. We need $1,067 to complete the match. Consider an extra donation this week for the fund in thanksgiving for the lack of injuries and the excellent work of the Vestry in restoring our Church so that we may complete the match after a cost of $18,615.
Please keep the mission team in your prayers as they return this week from Staten Island. The Fisher Family, Eunice and Roger Key, Cookie and Johnny Davis, Elizabeth and Jim Heimbach, Wendy Gayle and Catherine Hicks have been helping to distribute clothes to 1000 school children on Staten Island. We have a number of posts from the team at the group site at churchsp.org/statenisland2012. Check them out!

Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost

11AM
St. Peter’s Mission Team on Staten Island, Aug. 23, 2012
Hands
“From these
vessels pour
God’s endless love.
We leave fingerprints
on whatever we touch,
mingling with those of many
who come after us in His name.
By our sharing this love we create
a sacred space in our hearts for Jesus”
– Wendy Gayle, a member of the Mission Team
ST. Peter’s Episcopal Church
