After services we headed downstairs for some wonderful food and socializing!
Our wonderful food included Teresa's Wassail (perfect for a cold rainy day) and Deborah's homemade (and very yummy) Yule Log!
God has blessed St. Peters so much and in so many ways this past year! It was wonderful to see both the sanctuary and the fellowship hall so full!
Also, thank you to everyone who worked to make this Fourth Sunday in Advent so special!
Another wonderful Sunday at St. Peter's!

Mike and Claudia delivered a Christmas Tree to Wesley this past week! We have missed having Wesley at St. Peters and pray he is able to join us again in the near future!

Mike hung the sign from The Church of the Good Shepherd, the Anglican Church several of our members attended in Abingdon before coming to St. Peters. We will always cherish the beautiful memories of that loving parish family!
