The picnic shelter is right next to the parking lot, and there are restrooms available across the lot. We have some great ideas for the coming year, and possibly making some changes to make our organization more acceptable to more ladies! Please come, bring your own lunch and drink, and a mask! We will social distance to keep ourselves safe. Hope to see many of you there! If you need a ride, please contact Sally Readinger at (440)222-3414 and we will make arrangements to get you

2020 VBS will be Virtual!
The team at GO! Curriculum has designed a 3-day "backyard" VBS that is custom made for churches and families during the COVID19 shutdown. We have thought through every aspect of the VBS experience and made it so user friendly that any family can easily do it at home.
With minimal preparation, easy to follow instructions, and a video that leads kids step-by-step through each day, BOLT VBS is the perfect quarantine-friendly solution for your church or family.
After months of virtual learning, many kids are already experiencing screen-fatigue. With that in mind, BOLT has struck the perfect balance between video content and in-person games and activities.
TO REGISTER: EMAIL: dir.ed@stpetersamherst.org and say you would like to participate. Please include a mailing address so we can mail you an information packet which will include the link to the parent portal.
You may do this VBS at your pace and convenience. 3 days in a row, 1 day a week...however you would like. Each day is approximately 1 1/2 hours of

Many thanks to all who helped make this year’s Block Party a success! Even the threat of a severe thunderstorm didn’t dampen our festivities! Thank you to all who donated, and all who helped, with set up and with serving! I would like to thank you all personally, but I’m not sure I saw everyone that helped…so if you did….THANK YOU! A huge shout out to Boy Scout Troop 427 for all their help. Many thanks to the committee that helped to organize this event, Kurt, Kody and Pam Beiswenger, Barb and Jim Wiley, Judy McCurdy, and Shelley Harmych. Looking forward to another great event next year!
Speaking of the block party, there are leftovers! Please join us in the Fellowship Hall after church for hotdogs, beans, watermelon, chips, cookies, and whatever else! Afterwards, the remainder of the chips will be donated to Amherst High School’s Leo Club Backpack project that sends food home with needy kids for the weekend. Our September Noisy Collection will be donated to this project as well.
Part of our block party was the Amherst Police Department’s Cram the Cruiser. If you peeked in either of the cruisers at the block party, you saw that they had a very successful collection, and today’s Noisy Collection will go toward that as well. We can be very proud of our

The Ohio Conference is proud to co-sponsor The Ohio Council of Churches (OCC) 100th anniversary event. The OCC remains devoted in its 100th year to tackling the problems of racism through ecumenical partnership and vision. We in the Ohio Conference had already begun engaging with the OCC in discussions around hosting an event focused on ending racism; this event is one of the fruits of that discernment.
For this event, with our assistance, the OCC has lined up workshops, worship, celebrations, and reflections around the work to fight racism. Our commitment to working with ecumenical partners like the OCC to arrange for continuing anti-racism work in our communities is just one of the ways your Conference is offering service to our members and churches.
With that commitment in mind, we have engaged the Pulitzer Prize-Winning writer, and Miami Herald columnist, Leonard Pitts, Jr., to deliver a keynote address at the OCC 100th anniversary gathering on September 6, 2019, at Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO). Mr. Pitts, in this quote from his personal web site, is to his core a writer. "In a career that now spans 43 years, Leonard Pitts, Jr. has worked as a columnist, a college professor, a radio producer and a lecturer. But those are just the job titles. If you ask him what he does – what he is – he'll tell you now what he would have told you then.

The Transition Team is coordinating "Cottage Conversations" for June, between the 18th and 27th. The purpose of these conversations is for the congregation to share appreciative experiences of St. Peter's.
These conversations will help the transition team determine what the values are for St. Peter's. These will be discussed with the congregation as a whole at a later date. The ultimate goal is to determine the core values of St. Peter's and then determine what God is calling St. Peter's to do. Once this is determined, the Transition Team can start on the profile for the Search Team to use in finding our new pastor.
It is important that all who can participate, do. If someone cannot participate on the provided dates, please let the office or transition team know, so we can set something up with you at a later date.
Sign up will be posted in the Sanctuary. Individuals can also call the office and Katie will let you know what is
