Choir
Alice Unschuld
Choir director
Music is a gateway to the soul. There is a reason that all prayers in the Orthodox Church are sung. When voices are raised in harmony with open hearts, the Holy Spirit enters and prays through us bringing a taste of heaven.
Prayer Group
David Unschuld
Leader
Through readings, reflection, and open and honest sharing, our Prayer Study Group supports and strengthens each of us in deepening our personal prayer life. Our twice-monthly meetings are offered in-person at Saints Peter and Paul church and remotely on Zoom. Please email David at dunschuld@gmail.com if you would like to attend or for more information.
Charitable Giving
Ceil Bush
At Saints Peter and Paul we participate in a variety of charitable giving activities in the area including providing school children with needed supplies, fulfilling Christmas wishes, and helping with Easter baskets for the local community. To help the organization, Off The Streets, we donate household goods and furniture to support those leaving a shelter to set up a home. We also help ease food insecurity by donating to Brotherhood In Action and the Bethel Food Pantry.
All are welcome.
The Presence of the Divine in Nature
Suzanne Fogle
Non-church members welcome.
As our busy lives disconnect us from the earth, we find ourselves cut off from an essential and ancient way of encountering the spirit of God through nature. Please join us as we gather by our beautiful river at Saints Peter and Paul, to “see into the life of things” through contemplation of nature and sharing our thoughts and experiences. Together, we will revive our love for God’s creation and renew our role as the stewards of the earth.
