WOULDN'T THIS BE A GREAT NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?<br />
THANK YOU<br />
FROM THE ST. PETER BEYOND HOUSING MINISTRY!<br />
We just completed a busy December and we'd like to say thanks.<br />
On December 8, we held our 6th annual "Breakfast with Santa"<br />
for approximately 100 children and parents in the Beyond<br />
Housing program. We'd like to thank all who helped, especially<br />
our awesome "Faith in Action" partners - the 5th graders and their<br />
parents who assisted. It was a fun morning of food, crafts,<br />
storytelling and a visit with Santa.<br />
On December 12 we delivered several carloads of gifts for<br />
Beyond Housing families through our parish support for the<br />
annual Adopt a Family program. We were humbled once again<br />
by the generosity of our parish family. With your help, we<br />
provided for the six families in severe need that were assigned to<br />
us, plus we had many donations of toys and gift cards for other<br />
families. A special shout-out to the teachers and staff of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong><br />
School who provided new winter coats, hats and gloves for all the<br />
children in our assigned families.<br />
We'll keep you informed about our outreach activities for Beyond<br />
Housing in 2013 and we are grateful for your continued support.<br />
If you have an interest in getting involved in our ministry, contact<br />

THANK YOU FROM THE GIVING TREE MINISTRY<br />
The Giving Tree Ministry would like to thank everyone who<br />
supported the 2012 Giving Tree. Once again the parishioners of<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong> showed their overwhelming generosity by donating<br />
nearly 3000 gifts and $4000 in gift cards. Kirkcare, New<br />
Covenant Ministries, YWCA Headstart and Fostering Faithful<br />
Families were very grateful for all donations. Many thanks to the<br />
many volunteers who helped by hanging ornaments, carrying and<br />
sorting the gifts. A special thank you to the 5th & 6th graders at<br />

Have a Blessed and healthy 2013!<br />

TREASURE REPORT AT-A-GLANCE<br />
“...the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and<br />
copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.”<br />
(Ephesians 3:6)<br />
Today we celebrate the fact that Christ came to all of us, not just<br />
the Hebrews. He made us all one body with Him. Because God<br />
has given us different gifts, we all have different yet equally<br />
valuable roles to play in the Body of Christ. If one of us does not<br />
play his or her role the whole body suffers. How will you play<br />
your role this year?<br />
