The Vine….

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 (NIV)

The Vine is a Relational Caring Ministry including the following:

1) We utilize the current Prayer List maintained by Celeste Chamberlain. Vine volunteers will contact those individuals on the prayer list (by phone call and/or e-mail) with the following goals in mind: A) To ensure them that they are not forgotten, B) To see how they are doing, C) To see if they need anything that St. Peter’s can assist with, and D) To see if they would like to remain on the Prayer List.

2) Eucharistic Ministry – We would like to visit folks who cannot attend church for any reason; and administer communion if it is desired. This is not limited to those on the Prayer List; but to anyone.

3) We would like to form Prayer Teams made up of anywhere from 1 to several people who will commit to pray for those individuals on the Prayer List (or anyone who needs it). These teams can meet at St. Peter’s, at someone’s home, or anywhere they are comfortable.

4) We are currently looking for new volunteers to help out with all three areas, but our most immediate need is for Vine Volunteers who love to be in contact with others and would be willing to call people who are on the Prayer List.
