Like two hands clasped in prayer, Our Lord invites St. Peter’s to help the needy in two ways:

 

Direct Action

Our members cheerfully spend time and effort to support local ministries such as:

 

• The People’s Table (feeding the hungry)

• Habitat for Humanity (serving families working to provide shelter)

• Flower Ministry (arranging and bringing floral arrangements to the home-bound, the sick and the recovering, and the lonely.)

 

The Daughters of the King constantly serve a wide variety of people with personal help without any expectation of recognition. Also, we host eight weekly gatherings of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

 

Direct Giving

Our Outreach Committee, in addition to coordinating our service projects, reviews grant requests from almost two dozen helping agencies and ministries and makes funding recommendations to the Vestry. In 2017, we awarded $17,000 to fifteen different groups. The Estes Fund is a fund independent of St. Peter’s but administered by St. Peter’s to provide assistance with the health needs of residents of Maury County above the age of 55 not covered by insurance. In 2017 this Fund provided over $20,000 in assistance to our seniors for:

• eye care

• dental care

• hearing aids

• medical equipment

• respite care.

 

St. Peter’s Outreach Committee and Vestry wisely and faithfully use your gifts to God to help those outside of our doors. We look forward to expanding our Outreach giving and service as we continue to grow. In 2022, they gave just over $22,000 to helping agencies and ministries:

 

• CASA

• Harvest Share

• Center of Hope

• The Family Center

• Boys’ and Girls’ Club

• Episcopal Relief and Development

• The People’s Table

• Columbia Cares

• Restoration/FRESHstart

• Columbia Counseling
