P. 23
In many ways the Village Harvest has become our second congregation with examples of
fellowship, outreach and education. Many at St. Peter’s serve each month. Johnny and
Cooke Davis bring back food monthly from the Northern Neck Food Bank.
Two quotes taken a year ago from our volunteers at the 3rd anniversary highlight the role
for the volunteers:
“I enjoy being a part of a team in our mission ‘To Do God’s Will’. “I think that our community is
learning that we at St. Peter’s CARE and desire to share God’s love with our neighbors.”
“I help with Village Harvest because we get to know the people we help. These folks become
friends not just a number. It just makes me happy that we can help in some small way to make
things a little easier or better for them.”
Village Harvest helps those outside the church who are dealing with financial hardships as
well as those inside the church who enjoy working one-on-one in service to others. The
distribution strengthens our ties to the community we are charged to serve and
strengthens our ties to God who nourishes us.
