Choir – St. Peter’s Choir is a group of
people who enjoy worshipping through
singing under the direction of our
organist/choirmaster. This particular choir
is very fun-loving. Anyone is welcome.
So, don’t let anything keep you from
joining us. We don’t have choir during the
summer months. We do have choir
practice once per week from September
through May on Thursday evenings. The
choir traditionally hosts the annual St.
Peter’s Day Celebration and Talent
Show—fun and food for the whole family.

Usher – Teams of two hand Sunday
service bulletins to those arriving for
worship. Ushers will pass the alms
basins to the congregation during the
offertory. It is at this time that we
return to God a portion of our
financial treasure. This is an act of
thanksgiving—us thanking God for
blessing us with abundance. “All
things come of thee, O Lord, and of
Thine own hath we given thee.”

Greeter – Teams of two people welcome “first-
timers” and “old-timers” as they enter the
church. This is a good way to get to know
others and begin building relationships. A vital
part of this ministry includes making our guests
feel welcome and steering them to someone
who will take them under their wing. These
persons also bring forward the food items
donated to Peter’s Pantry to be blessed during
the offertory. Our greeters also ask our guests
to fill out a brief information card and sign our
guest book.
