"And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God"
Luke 17:15

Wednesday Evening Services:
This past Wednesday Fr. Yossi led our Holy Communion Services celebrating the Feast Day of St. Augustine of Hippo. Levi served as crucifer for the first time during this service! He did a marvelous job! What a blessing to have him both in church with us and now as an acolyte! Please note the next Holy Communion Service is on Wednesday, September 18 as Fr. Yossi is on vacation.
Before the Holy Communion Service, the St. Peter’s Grief Support Group met at 4 pm. The Grief Support Group, led by Fr. Yossi, meets biweekly. Please note the next meeting is on Wednesday, September 18 as Fr. Yossi is on vacation.
Thank you Fr. Yossi for the beautiful service and the grief support program. Thank you Hutch for serving.
The next two Wednesdays, September 4 and September 11, at 6 pm, Fr. Paul will lead our Wednesday Evening Prayer Services.

The Annual Deanery Picnic
Several people from St. Peter's attended the Annual Deanery Picnic at St. Matthew's in Weaverville, NC this past Saturday.
The above pictures are from the beautiful sanctuary at St. Matthew's.
Apparently, Diane even met one of the attendee's Vietnamese pet pig!

Agnes welcomed her new great grandson son this past week! His name is Hudson Scott and he weighed in at over 8 pounds! May God continue to bless him, his family, and our beloved Agnes!

Every quarter St. Peter's supports a local charity - most recently Shades of Grace (aid for the homeless in Kingsport) and Hope House (aid to young, unwed mothers). We also have plans to support the Marines' Toys for Tots program leading up to Christmas. The Mission Committee chose to dedicate this September to supporting St. Peters with requests for kitchen and cleaning supplies. We will collect items from the lists below in the box downstairs or the basket in the Narthex through the month of September.
Thank you to everyone for your generous support of the local charities and St. Peter's!

Have you ever desired to have a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Have you ever wanted to cultivate this relationship by developing a better understanding of the Bible? Then join us this Thursday at St. Peter's as Fr. Paul begins one of the best teaching series on the Bible, Dust to Glory. Renowned Christian scholar, Dr. R.C. Sproul leads us on a unique study tour as he explores the major themes, events, and people in the Bible. Dust to Glory will energize your study of the Bible, provide you with new insights, and improve your ability to read, understand, and apply Scripture to your life. Please see Fr. Paul with any questions or more information.
