A message from Dawn Bruno, team leader in the Run Against Hunger

"When I first began volunteering with the food pantry they served fewer than 100 clients per week, a pre-packaged brown bag full of canned goods. The only choice clients had on occasion was wheat or white bread. Six years later, clients can now pick from a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, in addition to the newly added meat component.

The funds that we raised from the 2014 Walk helped the pantry purchase a freezer to hold the meat, making a weekly distribution possible. St. Peters clientele has grown to an average of over 200 people per week with many new clients in 2014. They never turn anyone away, but continually use their energy to find new ways to provide more and not leave anyone feeling uncared for. 

The need for basic necessities such as shelter and food for many families is overwhelming and disturbing. If you are considering donating any amount it truly helps." 

The annual Walk+Run Against Hunger is the largest fundraiser for St. Peter's Food Cupboard. Our goal for this year's walk is $15,000. Please help us reach our fundraising goal!

Do you love choral music and love singing in the midst of a talented, dedicated ensemble of peers? Did you sing in high school or college....have you set singing aside and are perhaps regretting that decision now? Here comes an invitation....read on....

Saint Peter's Adult Choir is one of three choirs that staffs the liturgies here at Saint Peter's Church, and is also the "lower voices" for the Choristers when they sing multi-part music. This choir is made up of dedicated men and women, both professional and avocational, who share their gifts with each other, with the Choristers, and with Saint Peter's Church and surrounding community. Saint Peter's Adult Choir invites you to try us out!

We invite you to come to sing with, no strings attached, on any or all of the following Sundays:  April 26, May 10, 17, and 24. We meet in the Parlor of 313 Pine Street at 9 a.m. and prepare music for upcoming services and for the services that day. You are most welcome to try us on at a Thursday evening rehearsal on May 14...beginning at 7:15 p.m.

The Adult Choir is in need of tenors and basses, especially, but all voice parts are welcome. To ensure that there is music for you, please contact Bruce Barber in the Music Office before join us for this Open House.

We hope to welcome many during this Open House season...especially with an eye toward welcoming new regular members next season!
