Page 7 - Annual Meeting, 2022

The ECW provided soup to many in
the community in March of 2021.
Cards and calls have become the
norm. The ECM sent Thanksgiving
cards out to men in the
congregation who have not been
able to get to church. When Covid
rates declined for several months, I
began in person visits again, which
are now once more on hold due to
Omicron. I hope to safely resume
those visits soon. I would like to
thank the congregation for the
gargantuan amount of pastoral care
provided to the Wick family during
2021. Nancy’s death in May and
Bill’s subsequent move to
Richmond near the end of 2021 meant that many of you were and still are sacrificially
giving of time and energy to help this family. I am grateful for all of you, and for all that you
have done and are doing during this difficult time for the Wick family.

Outreach and mission are a year-round focus at St Peter’s. Your support of the Village
Dinners, The United Thank Offering, Village Harvest, the men’s Thanksgiving and Christmas
work, and so many other projects makes an ongoing positive difference for people not only
in our community, but around the world. Read more about the St Peter’s mission work
throughout these reports.

Eunice Key, who took over as Treasurer when Clarence Kunstmann retired from the post,
has completed her current term on the Vestry. During her time as treasurer, Eunice
automated our system, and trained Jim Heimbach, our “new” treasurer, in the intricacies of
taking care of the finances of St Peter’s. We owe her our ongoing gratitude. We are also
fortunate to have Jim take the financial reins despite the time challenges that this work
presents. Thanks to the hard work of both Eunice and now Jim, our financial business is
carried out well, and the information about our finances is easily accessible. Jim Heimbach
will be speaking at the congregational meeting on Sunday, January 23 . Check out the
rd
documents he has submitted for this report, and bring your questions to the congregational
meeting. I’m happy to report that St Peter’s, thanks to the generosity of all of you, and
careful financial management, is in excellent financial shape.

The 2021 Vestry and its officers have been an ongoing source of inspiration,
encouragement, support and hard work this past year. Becky Fisher, Senior Warden,
