Congratulations to Jennifer Collins, who has been named principal of King George Middle School. And Jackie Collins, a freshman at UVa who received a Laura Hayes Memorial Scholarship from St Peter’s, has sent us the following thank you note. “Dear St Peter’s, Thank you so much for the generous scholarship gift. I was able to purchase ALL my books this semester and most likely next semester with that money. For that I thank you so much. However, for the continuous love and support you all have shown me as a church and community, I can never thank you all enough. I will see you all when I get home. Love, Jackie”

“Forgiveness” – Sofiya Inger (2006)
“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. ” – Matthew 18:18-20
