On Sunday, April 2 , Dorian Gray Huffman and Kathryn Elizabeth Davis became the two newest
and youngest members of St Peter’s when they were baptized at the font that has been in use
here since the opening of St Peter’s way back in 1836.

Andrew Huffman, with the permission of the Vestry, set up a beehive on the river bank, and we
hope to begin harvesting honey in June of 2018. If the project is successful, this
environmentally friendly project will also contribute a small income stream to St Peter’s over
time.

Also in April, Magical Strings came to St Peter’s and presented a stunningly beautiful concert of
both traditional Celtic music and original compositions played on instruments made by Philip
and Pam Boulding, the musicians. Ladies’ Night Out also took place in April.

On the first weekend in May, ten people from St Peter’s joined Christ Church, Spotsylvania, for
a joint parish retreat at Shrine Mont. I prepared the various worship services, all designed with
our Celtic theme in mind. During the month of May, Cherry and Woody Everett prepared to be
received as members of St Peter’s by meeting with me once a week, while John and Toni
Faibisy, dealing with health issues, read the needed material. Felicia Huffman also did
preparation for confirmation.

In June, the children enjoyed a weeklong Vacation
Bible School, led by Becky Fisher, who put together
a creative program based on Christian themes in
the Harry Potter series.
