"But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
St. Luke 12: 20-21

Fr. Paul led our beautiful Morning Prayer service this past Sunday. Thank you Fr. Paul for stepping in while Fr. Yossi was on vacation.
After services we enjoyed a wonderful lunch of ribs, Baked beans, cornbread, Cole Slaw, potato salad, deviled eggs, apple crisp, and dump cake!
Thank you Jessica, Mere, Ambler, and Rosalind for all the delicious food!
We celebrated having both Elaine and Garrett at church on the same Sunday after all their traveling back and forth to Michigan!
Looks like Carol, Levi, and especially Nancy were having fun after lunch!
Thank you to everyone for another wonderful Sunday at St. Peter's!

Last week we installed the shield for displaying the crucifix and supporting the sanctuary light. Diane and Rosalind designed the shield, Jim (Diane's husband) fabricated the shield, and Jeff (Rosalind's husband) stained the shield. This shield installation completes the behind the altar wall improvement work started this spring! Our next improvement project is installing new windows in October.

Our Choir is holding rehearsals at 10 am on Thursday upstairs in the sanctuary under Rose Marie's direction. All are welcome to join! Please see Fr. Yossi or Rose Marie for more information.

Our Bible Study program, led by Fr. Paul, started this past Thursday at 11 am. The study is using the "Dust to Glory" study guide and DVDs originally created by the renowned Christian scholar Dr. R.C. Sproul. We completed lessons 1 & 2 in the study guide this past week.
This Thursday we will complete lessons 3 &4. Please see Fr. Paul with any questions or for more information.

The Anglican Anglers', the men's fly fishing group, met and fished this past Saturday.
JP and Hutch sent these pictures to document their adventures ( just don't look too closely at the fish). Jim reported a good time had by all!

Every quarter St. Peter's supports a local charity - most recently Shades of Grace (aid for the homeless in Kingsport) and Hope House (aid to young, unwed mothers). We also have plans to support the Marines' Toys for Tots program leading up to Christmas. The Mission Committee chose to dedicate this September to supporting St. Peters with requests for kitchen and cleaning supplies. We will collect items from the lists below in the box downstairs or the basket in the Narthex through the month of September.
Thank you to everyone for your generous support of the local charities and St. Peter's!
