St Peter's congregation are committed to
supporting the wider work of Christ's church, both in the local
area and further afield
- Members are active in the Park Patrol,
distributing warm clothing to Sydney's homeless people
- We have an ongoing collection of food
items from the congregation, which are sent to the Presbyterian
Social Services and the Rev Bill Crews's Exodus Foundation for
distribution to the needy
- For some years we have made an annual
donation to the St Vincent de Paul Society, because we feel they
are filling a hands-on role in the local area that we are not
equipped to carry out ourselves
- Our Christmas Day offering goes to TEAR
(The Evangelical Alliance Relief Fund) for charitable work in
a number of overseas countries
- Our Anniversary offering this year will
go to support mission work in indigenous communities in western
NSW
- We help support three missionary couples
in the field:
- Stephanie Browning (previously Hall), who was a member of our Wednesday
lunchtime congregation, and is now an SIM missionary at Bahirdar
in Ethiopia, and her husband, Dr Andrew Browning. The picture
below shows Andrew with Dr Logan after a presentation about the
Brownings' work given at the evening service on April 22, 2007
- Glen and Rachael Connor, at Talua Ministry
Training Centre, Vanuatu
- Peter and Anne Burke in Nigeria
