Final Stewardship Report

We have come to the end of Saint Peter’s 2023 Fall Stewardship Campaign. The StPLC Stewardship Team is so grateful for all the participation and positive feedback. Our goal was to receive 92 Statement of Intent cards and after last Sunday, we received two more allowing us to reach our goal!

The inspiration behind this year’s campaign theme – “Climbing to the Mountain Top” – is the fact that the best views come after the hardest climbs. In other words, we know things feel different right now amid a pastoral transition, which makes the financial commitments received even more inspiring. Thank you to those who participated by turning in a commitment card and all the continued support of Saint Peter ministries.

Given the commitments we've received so far, Saint Peter is short of our hoped-for spending plan of $600,000 in 2023. However, we know that end-of-year giving often helps our church meet its financial needs heading into a new year. If you would like to make an end-of-year donation, please visit www.stplc.org/donate or talk to Lynn Sherpe, Saint Peter’s Financial Secretary.

Thank You, Castle Rock Chorale And StPLC Jubilate Choir

We welcomed guest singers from the Castle Rock Chorale, led by Saint Peter's own musicians, Arielle and Beryl last Sunday. What a treat to see our own choir work together with another.

The Castle Rock Chorale was founded in 2012 by Beryl Fanslow Wilson and Arielle Wilson and is an integral part of the arts and cultural community in Castle Rock and its environs. The CRC is dedicated to providing a dynamic and inclusive choral community for singers and audience members alike. Each year, the choir presents several concert series, as well as performs outreach events at local senior and community centers. For more information, visit facebook.com/thecastlerockchorale
