Over the past 9 months, St. Peter's has gone through an intentional process with the help of consulting group Assurance Strategies. Our church has gone through significant changes through the COVID pandemic and then through the displacement from a building fire.

Through these 2 major events, we needed help determining who we are, who we want to be, and what we can become. We worked with our church leadership and ministry leaders and even formed a new leadership group to help with developing and implementing our Vision!

This past Sunday, Rev. Ross Allen from Assurance Strategies was with us to highlight our accomplishments and encourage us to continue doing the work that is so important in these times.

Change can be hard to navigate. But Rev. Allen reminded us that we have roots in this community. We have new people finding us, planting roots. We have a community that is strongly rooted in our Mission and Vision.

Roots make change survivable.

Even more, roots allow us to thrive. To support this place and feed one another. Our roots allow us to stay strong and standing through storms (pandemics and fires).

St. Peter's UCC is changing. Rebuilding. Relaunching. Recommitting.

This summer, we are walking through a series examining our new Mission and Vision Statements. This final week of the series, we focused on welcoming surprises through the Holy Spirit.

St. Peter's has been working for the past 9 months on defining who we are, knowing our values, rewriting our Mission Statement and crafting our intentions through a new Vision Statement.

Through all of this work and transformation, the Holy Spirit has been present, has been among us and connecting us. After worship, we had a Congregational Conversation with the Rev. Ross Allen to discuss the joyful surprises that have come from the work of these past 9+ months. You can find worship and the conversation afterwards on our YouTube channel.

We invite you to come and see what St. Peter's UCC is about - read our Mission and Vision statements. Maybe the Spirit is beckoning to you to come and explore, come and connect, come and see what this place has for you.

This summer, we are walking through a series examining our new Mission and Vision Statements. This week, we focused on our Vision of transformation through the life and stories of Jesus.

Transformation requires open minds and open hearts.
Transformation asks for humility and curiosity.
Transformation demands thinking outside of the boxes we have created.
The person of Jesus embodied God's desire for creative transformation.

This summer, we are walking through a series examining our new Mission and Vision Statements. This week, we focused on our Vision of Compassionate Advocacy for all God's Creation.

God created each of us. God created the world we live on and all life we share it with. Life that we are responsible for compassionately advocating for. God is STILL creating through us. Let us join God in the work of Co-Creating.

Co-Creating Justice, Co-Creating Love, Co-Creating Curious Minds
