Page 5 - Annual Meeting, 2022

One of the highlights of 2021 was the outdoor Christmas pageant that St Peter’s created,
and which put our unique and beautiful outdoor spaces to work as we enacted the Good
News of Jesus’ birth. Many thanks to the Heimbachs for sharing their front porch for the
beginning of the pageant. This outdoor pageant brought our community together. In
addition to members of St Peter’s, friends of St Peter’s, an angel from Memorial Baptist, and
others in the community, we presented the Christmas story to those who came from as far
away as Bowling Green and King George to see the Christmas story unfold outdoors in
scripture and in song.

After a several years
of work, we dedicated
our outdoor pavilion
in September 2021 in
memory of Dr. John R.
Sellers, Sr. The
dedication program
featured music that
had special
connections to John
and his life, and was
performed by Helmut
Linne von Berg and
Jim Heimbach. After
the service, many in
the congregation provided a lovely reception for John’s family that took place in the shelter
of the pavilion on that rainy afternoon. The pavilion gives us an outdoor space for prayer,
reflection, meetings, and gathering for coffee hours. The pavilion starred in the Christmas
pageant as the stable at Bethlehem. This space is truly a gift to our parish.
