A Year in Review: All In for Love
Inspired by 1 Corinthians 16:14, this year’s theme was All in for Love Each day provided an opportunity to honor God by loving and serving others. Love is rooted in our mission and everything we do at St Peter’s
We often hear those both inside and outside our community refer to our healthy culture and climate as the “St. Peter’s difference.”
In all things our thoughts, feelings, actions, and even inactions we strive to act with Godly love toward both God and others.
