Other Activities
Mom-to-Mom Sale:
At the end of summer, before the new school year begins, we hold our "Mom-to-Mom" sale on a Saturday. Mom's are able to sell clothes their kids have outgrown, and purchase "gently used" clothing for the new year. Tables are rented for a minimal fee and a nice selection of fresh baked goods is also available for purchase.
Musical Potpourri:
Many talented individuals and groups from the area came together on a Sunday afternoon in April 2008 for a wonderful couple of hours of entertainment. Professional musicians, as well as high school and college kids volunteered their time and talents to make this event happen. Social hour followed in the parish hall, with everyone enjoying an abundance of cakes, cookies, coffee and punch. Many thanks to those who gave of themselves to make this a great day!
Quilt Day:
Sewers come together throughout the year to make quilts for various organizations. Camp Courage, a Hospice program for children was the recipient of over 35 quilts created by this group in May of 2008. Project Linus, a national organization that provides quilts for children who are hospitalized, has also received some of our quilted blankets, as well as our local Domestic Harmony organization.
Adopt-a-Family:
One of St. Peter's outreach activities has been to sponsor a family in need at Christmas time, helping out with gifts, food and a Christmas Day meal. The quilters of St. Peter's pooled their efforts in 2007 to create this Christmas quilt for our family.
Food Collection:
Food and personal care items are collected throughout the year and distributed to various Food Banks in the Hillsdale area. Some of them include Kings Kupboard and the Salvation Army.
Rummage Sale:
Spring-time is time for our annual rummage sale! Please call the church office or check local newspaper listings for exact days and times.
