We are excited to introduce the current candidates for the Vestry in 2021! While the deadline for the 2021 Vestry election has been extended through Friday, November 27, we wanted to share a little about the candidates.

As we move into the seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, I find myself thinking about children. During Advent, we prepare for the coming of Christ, who comes in the form of a baby born to Mary and Joseph. At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus’ birth and revel in the sheer joy of children (of all ages) who love the Christmas season.

A core component of the 2019–2022 strategic plan is to “deepen St. Peter’s outreach and social justice impact by more precisely focusing grants, engagement, and partnerships.” To that end, St. Peter’s Social Justice & Outreach Ministry Team has created a series of events to address the needs of our homeless neighbors.

One way we live out our call is through our annual Social Justice & Outreach Grants made to Charlotte-area nonprofit organizations serving the most vulnerable among us.

On this Election Day, let us pray for the nation, for the electoral process, and for those who will be elected to lead.
