Raising Our Children

All of us—no matter how young or old—have a Christian responsibility to care for the young people being raised in our community. Whether we are getting to know other families at St. Peter’s, volunteering at 2×2 Special Needs Ministry or Vacation Bible School, or serving Holy Family School or Burks Elementary, we must raise up with love the children that God has entrusted to us as a church. Pray for them daily. Pray for them by name if you can. And ask God how you are called to help. Our responsibility at St. Peter’s is to do everything in our power to ensure that every child has the ability to flourish.
