Our purpose as a community of women, created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.
Mission areas - provide programs and support
| Growth: | Provide a variety of learning experiences which strengthen each woman as a whole person, develop her potential, and equip her for ministry, both through small groups and congregation - wide events and activities. |
| Action: | Provide occassions and activities which equip and challenge women to articulate and act upon their faith as Disciples of Christ in all areas of life. |
| Community: | Establish support groups and provide other occasions which enable each woman to value her and others as created in God's image and redeemed through Christ; and to build up and celebrate relationship which are global, diverse, and interdependent. |

| Sew & Sews: | The St. Peter Sew & Sews gather in the church basement on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday mornings of each month. They assemble, tie, and surge quilts that are sent to Lutheran World Relief and other worthy missions. All of the quilts are made from donated materials. The ladies are in charge of our annual clothing drive in October. In the spring tickets are sold on a quilt during the annual Womens Bazzar. Proceeds go toward the cost of shipping the quilts to Lutheran World Relief. The Sew & Sews are always looking for good used sheets and other quilting materials. Also, they welcome anyone who could volunteer their time to help. |
