***Sunday School continues this Sunday, January 21st***
Church Road is partially closed as of January 2nd. The road is closed from Park Avenue to Ridge Pike and the construction work, which is impacting the intersection of Ridge Pike and Church Road, is expected to last for 6-8 weeks.
The church and it's parking lots are accessible via Germantown Avenue and we do not anticipate any significant church access issues beyond a minor detour if you are coming to the church from Ridge Pike. If you are traveling to the church from Ridge Pike simply turn on Crescent Avenue, follow it to Germantown Pike and turn right and then turn right onto Church Road to get to the church parking lot.
We will continue to keep the congregation updated as more information becomes available and we are in contact with Montgomery County to make sure that the ministries of St. Peter's will not be impacted by the necessary road construction. If you have any questions please contact Pastor Suloff.
The 41st annual Boars Head and Yule Log festival is coming soon!
January 6th 1pm,4 pm, 7 pm & January 7th 1pm and 4 pm
What a beautiful way to start the New Year!

The Hope Lodge has asked us to run their cookie exchange this year. The cookie exchange will be on 12/21. We will be collecting cookies 12/17 through 12/20. We will also be hosting dinner for the patients that night. We need volunteers to make cookies, run the cookie exchange and to make and serve dinner. Being away from home and in the middle of cancer treatments around Christmas is very hard. We are going to do our best to add a little bit of joy to their Christmas season.
If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please reach out to Matt Clark (his email address can be found using the button below) or simply click the button below to use SignUp Genius.
The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. Patients staying at a Hope Lodge must be in active cancer treatment and permanently reside more than 40 miles away from their cancer treatment center.
The Hope Lodge in Cheltenham, PA has 37 rooms. The Lodge offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening's activities, or unwind in their own private room.
Last year, St. Peter’s helped support their annual cookie exchange at Christmas. Our congregation donated dozens of cookies for the patients. In a couple of weeks we will be preparing dinner for the guests. These small acts can provide moments of “normal” and go a long way for someone battling cancer.

***Sunday School continues this Sunday, December 10th.***
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
The Social Ministry group will “adopt” some local families for Christmas. We are working with the Colonial Neighborhood Council which has identified families who have needs due to family illness, domestic violence, abandonment, or other troubles. We will provide gifts and food.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Take a name tag from the tree. Each tag identifies a member of a family, and provides the gender, age, and size of the person you’ll shop for. If you grab a tag with “mom” on it, the mom would benefit from a food basket or grocery store gift card. Put your name and telephone number on the sign up sheet in the box corresponding to the tag # that you selected, so we can follow up just in case you forget to return the gifts by SUNDAY, December 10th.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR?
After you buy the gift, please DO NOT WRAP THE GIFTS, so that parents can see what their children are receiving. You are welcome to provide wrapping paper. Either way (and this is important), tape the name tag on the gift so we can identify it and get it to the right family.
CAN I HELP ST. PETER’S AT THE SAME TIME?
Sure! BEFORE you go shopping, buy a script card from St. Peter’s. You can either donate these gift cards to the family in need or use them to buy specific items. When you purchase a script card from St. Peter’s, for anything from food, clothing, to entertainment, St. Peter’s earns a percentage of each card purchased and you still get the full value of the card you are buying.
WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR BRINGING IN YOUR GIFTS?
All gifts and donations should be returned to the church by SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10th
Beginning November 12, 2023 through December 10, 2023, every time you make a $25.00 RaiseRight purchase on-line or in-person you will receive ONE raffle ticket towards winning approximately $300.00 worth of cards on the St. Peter's RaiseRight Christmas Wreath.
A drawing will be held on December 17, 2023 when the winner will be notified. You do not need to be in attendance on December 17, 2023 to win. The more RaiseRight $25.00 purchases you make the more chances you will have to win!
RaiseRight (formerly ShopWithScrip) has been in operation at St. Peter’s since 2007. So far, the RaiseRight program has contributed $39,600.00 to St. Peter’s. This includes $2,100.00 raised in 2022. When someone buys RaiseRight cards, they pay the face value of the card and they get the face value of the card. St. Peter’s receives a percentage of that face value from RaiseRight. The customer doesn’t need to do anything except purchase the cards. The “donation” part of the process is all done behind the scenes.
Gift card purchases through RaiseRight don’t have to be hundreds of dollars - $5 and $10 cards are available and all amounts help pay down the church mortgage. Download the RaiseRight app, sign up (our Enrollment Code is D96653C515851) and be part of something impactful for St. Peter’s. Or, visit Jane Stettler at the front door of the church before or after the service. You can also contact Jane and she will send you a sign-up email to walk you through the process.
Join our Women's Bible Study as we let art, both well known and obscure, guide and enlighten us this Advent Season through Epiphany. We will be discussing two books: The Art of Advent and The Art of Christmas both by Jane Williams. We will be starting our discussions on these books on Monday, November 27th at 7:30pm on Zoom. Please reach out to Stephanie Freidly if you are interested in joining or have any questions in general about St. Peter's Women's Bible Study.

TRUNK OR TREAT ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29th FOLLOWING THE WORSHIP SERVICE!
Mobile Ministry works to collect and distribute much needed food and personal items to the homeless on the streets and in shelters, as well as supplying personal hygiene items to the Seafarers who come into the port of Philadelphia. For the last several years we have been able to fill and distribute 100 drawstring bags, every year, even during the pandemic.
We’ve put together a “wish list” on Amazon to make donating even easier. We most graciously will except individual items dropped in the narthex bins as well as Amazon orders from the wish list. Do you want to donate but don't want to do the shopping? Gift cards or checks could be dropped off at the church office (to the attention of Mobile Ministry) and we will do the shopping for you!
Donations for this ministry will be collected now through the month of September.
The Mobile Ministry Homeless Winter Gift Bags and Seafarers Ditty Bag wish list on Amazon can be found using the button below.
Items that are not on the wish list, because the pricing was not good on Amazon and can be bought at the Dollar Store cheaper.
Body wash and shampoo, all in one - need 50
Lotion for dry skin - need 50
We are still searching for vendors to donate (or sell us) warm socks, winter gloves and women's personal hygiene products, at a good discount.
If you have any questions please contact Ellen Daneke.
Thank you for your continuing support of the outreach ministry!
