Dear St. Peter’s Lutheran Church
congregation and staff,
Thank you for your generous donation of
school supplies.
We
appreciate your
continued support.
Thank you for all you do for our students here
at Saxe Gotha Elementary.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Houck
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your recent gift to
Lutheran World Relief in support of our work
to address the root causes of hunger.
For millions of people around the world,
hunger is a daily reality. For some it’s
because of drought. For others, it’s because
poverty has simply stunted every aspect of
their lives. And for others still, natural
disaster has uprooted their livelihoods,
leaving little behind to feed and support
families.
In Peru, your gift is combating hunger in rural
communities by helping
them revive
traditional potato crops. A combination of
poverty and conflict caused farmers to
migrate and stop growing these important
sources of income and nutrition. With your
help, we are training farmers to grow
potatoes once again, giving their families a
chance for a better future.
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your gift of $786.27
for your South Carolina Lutheran Retreat
Centers. Your gift to the annual fund provides
the greatest flexibility for the support of our
ministry. With your gift, we can meet our day
to day costs while we plan for the future.
Thank you again for your thoughtful support
of South Carolina Lutheran Retreat Centers.
With your gift, you help provide places of
hospitality where people can grow in faith
and experience the glory of God’s creation.
Blessings,
Dallas J. Shealy, AIM
Executive Director
Dear Christian Friends,
Thank you so much for your generous
doantion to our church.
We are continuing on our path and have
welcomed a new Pastor. Glory be to God!
Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.
Your Friends of New Hope Lutheran Church
I’d love to show you more about how your gift
is changing lives. To learn more about our
work in Peru– and to meet Daisy, a girl whose
family has been touched by your generosity–

On behalf of LWR, our network of partners
and those we serve through your generosity ,
thank you for your gift and all that it will do.
God bless you!
Warm Regards,
Daniel Speckhard

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS
John answered,
“A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.
John 3:27 (ESV)
On whom do you depend? Every day we depend on people to help us through life. We depend on our family,
our friends, and our church. We also depend on our elected officials to represent our interests, our law
enforcement officials to keep us safe, the heating repairman to keep us warm, and even the garbage man to pick
up our trash. Whether we like it or not, we depend on others.
But sometimes it happens that those on whom we depend can no longer be there for us in the way that they have
always been. When a loved one passes away, a marriage dissolves, or a friendship grows apart, we can be left
feeling sad, fearful, disappointed, and very alone.
But we are never alone! God is always by our side, continually leading us, guiding us, and directing our paths.
He supplies everything we need, and we can be certain that He will always surround us with the people we need.
Yes, this life is filled with loss and change. The people on whom we depend will come and go, but God remains
the same - always good, always gracious, and always with us.
Written by Vicar Paulette McHugh
On behalf of the Stewardship & Finance Committee
Good N.E.W.S. Ministry
A New Committee for Our Church
(News Events Worth Sharing)
A new committee was formed in July of this year called the Good N.E.W.S committee. The
acronym stands for News Events Worth Sharing.
The purpose of this new committee is two-fold. First, as self-evident from the name of the committee, we will attempt to communicate, publicize and enhance participation in all events that occur during
the year at St Peter’s. These communications will remain a major responsibility of each committee that
produces the events, but the Good N.E.W.S committee will assist in the communications to increase participation.
One of the core values of the NALC is to be Mission-Driven; in essence to make disciples for Christ.
Therefore the second purpose of the Good N.E.W.S committee will fall in line to implement this core value
in our congregation. We will not do it by ourselves, but with the help of each member. Our vision is that
each member will discover the need to serve and participate in all aspects of ministry to build up the body
of Christ at St Peter’s.
Our ultimate goal is to renew, re-energize and revive our members to discover God’s directions in
our lives so that we may be useful servants to Him! We hope to do this by inspiring, equipping and empowering each of us for service and ministry in a way that puts the gifts and passions of our members to
use to really make a difference in God’s world.
The Good N.E.W.S committee’s effectiveness in its communications will take many forms and
hopefully will be evident in the next year as we continue to lift up St Peter’s vision statement which states:
“With God as our guide and His Word as our foundation, we, as members of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, accept God’s command to become disciples and share His love with all people.”
In Christ’s service committee members are Jay Freeman, Larry James, Darla Jennings, Vicar
Paulette, Rachel Price (secretary), Pastor Rawl, Landis Sandel (chairman), Paul Schreiber and
Buck Vaughan.

WE NEED YOU!!
2014 Annual Missions Market
Saturday, November 15, 2014
If you have not already done so, please mark your calendars for Saturday, November 15,
from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This is the date for our Annual Missions Market at St. Peter’s. We need
every member of the congregation to be a part of the market in some way—provide items, donate
some of your time that day, or come and purchase things for yourself or others.
There will be a Country Café from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. with Richey’s famous, freshly
made corndogs, hamburgers, and catfish stew. Plan to eat lunch with us that Saturday. The Country Store will have fresh, in-season vegetables, canned goods, cutlery, flavoring, and some other
special items. Our Craft Store will have all kinds of homemade items many members of our congregation are providing which will be great gifts. Remember, we always have new things each
year. Fresh homemade cakes, pies, breads, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls will be available in our
Bake Shop. Then there will be at least 20+ vendors who will have some great items you have been
wanting to purchase but unable to find; we have many new Vendors this year and you will not
want to miss them. We will also have the Cookie Bar filled with great homemade cookies. Don’t
forget our frozen Casseroles—meat, breakfast, vegetable, soup, etc. Our Garage Sale starts at 8:00,
and who doesn’t like a garage sale! If you have items around your house you are tired of, items
just gathering dust, or grandma’s whatever that you have no use for, please consider donating it to
our garage sale. You may put items in the small room in the Old Fellowship Hall or you may bring
them to the church on November 14. Photography Studio will be the perfect gift for grandparents.
Look for times to sign up for those picture appointments.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, – 8:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Parish Life Center
We need your talents—If you garden, please share vegetables or fruits; if you are a carpenter, we would like to have some of your wooden items; if you are an artist, share some of your
artwork; if you are a baker, we would like some of your baked from scratched goods; if you sew,
share some of your beautifully hand-made items. Whatever your talent, we want You to be a part
of the Missions Market. We still need volunteers to help with the garage sale on November 15 and
set up on November 14. All proceeds go to outreach ministries —Relay for Life, Snack Sack Ministries, Samaritan’s Well and missionary support .
Again this year, the Lexington/Saluda Thrivent Chapter is providing us with supplemental funding. This funding really helps us reach our goal of $12,000.
For more information, see Sharon James, Darla Jennings, Karen Price, Susan Rawl, Clyde
Sanders or Kathy Schreiber.

Operation Christmas Child
It’s shoebox time! Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children
worldwide through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love.
Shoebox collection here at St. Peter’s will be November 1-16. We will
present and bless the gifts at the 11:00 worship service on November 16.
If you have not participated in this meaningful (and fun!) outreach ministry
before, here’s a few questions and answers to help you get started.
How do I know what to pack in the shoeboxes?
Instructional brochures that explain how to pack your boxes are available in the Narthex and on the table
outside of the Parish Life Center. First you choose what age and gender child, and then go shopping! Think
about what your children or grandchildren would like. The brochures have great suggestions and also a list of
items not to include.
Why do they want a $7 donation?
Samaritan’s Purse asks for $7 for each box to help cover the costs of shipping the boxes around the world. If
you make your donation online, you will get a special label for your box that will have a tracking number.
Samaritan’s Purse will then email you the location where your box was delivered.
Do I have to use a shoebox?
No. You may use a similarly sized-storage container or other box; just be sure it has a removable lid. There
are also 100 red and green “ready boxes” in the PLC that you can use. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all 100
boxes were filled and returned this year?
Can I gift-wrap the box?
Yes. Be sure to wrap the lid separately. It’s also helpful to put a rubber band around the box to keep it
together.
Can I send a photograph or letter to the child?
Yes! Operation Christmas Child hears story after story of how the children who receive them love the
personal connection that a photo or letter gives. If you include an address, children sometimes are able to
write letters back. Be sure to share it with us if you get one!
Where do I bring my box?
Collection of our shoe boxes here at St. Peter’s will be November 1-16 in the PLC; look for the Christmas tree
and place your gifts underneath. You can also bring them to the church office.
If you have questions or need more information, please contact Jennifer Williams
[email protected]). For more information about Operation Christmas
