The Team:  There are currently 6 R.N.'s and a Forum Leader serving.  They include: Mae Fischer, Annlynn Harris, Barb Misel,Linda Shrake,  Pam Whitaker, Wendy Wimberly   Pamela Robinson, the Forum Leader for Pastoral Care has an extensive background in community eduaction and is invaluable to our mission.  Look for our yellow name tags with black lettering next time you are here at SPSP.

Our Focus:   Is to find more ways to serve the parish.  At the April 11th coffee hours, Annlynn Harris and Linda Shrake offered blood pressure checks.  In addition, Annlynn had educational materials on blood pressure management.  She brings cardiac expertise to this ministry from her position at Emory as Team Leader on the Cardiac Unit.

Health and Safety Education:  There are so many opportunities we are currently exploring.  There are lots of great programs through the American Red Cross and The American Heart Association which we would like to offer to the church, espicially to our children and youth.  Fun programs that can target any age group from hand washing, to pool safety, and even baby sitting classes.  We will be working with both Kim Land and Ashley Lytle to see how our Pastoral Care ideas can be incoorperated into the Children's Ministry and Youth Ministry this coming year.

Activities and Dates:  This Fall, we will offer a CPR course at the church.  It will be an American Heart Association "friends and family" class with individual mannequins provided to each person signed up to take home and teach another person the skills they've learned.  Watch for more information in the Breaking Bread or the weekly announcements.

Want to join our team?
We're always looking for more nurses to become a part of this rewarding ministry.  If you are interested in joining or if you have any ideas of way we can better serve, please contact the church office at 770-977-7473 or  send an e-mail to

Foyers Means Friends, Food and Fellowship
Foyers comes to us from a tradition in the Church of England. Foyers, the French word for hearth or fireplace, meet in membersʼ homes or some other place of the groupʼs choosing.  These small groups of 8-10 people (couples or singles) experience the warmth of fellowship and serve as models of Christian community. Foyers meet monthly in the home of one of the members of the group. A group captain hosts the first gathering. Meeting places and meals are decided by the group. There is no agenda, no pressure, no soul-baring required. Just have fun getting to know fellow parishioners you might not have met before. It is simply a time to share warm friendship with fellow Christians.
 
Groups are rearranged twice a year. Stay in the program and you will meet many, many
foyers1.jpgpeople you might not have met otherwise. Casual gatherings in homes are a step beyond chatting in the narthex or parish hall before or after services.
 
You are encouraged to participate in this most enjoyable fellowship program here at St. Peter and St. Paul . To find out more or to become involved, call the church office at 770 977-7473.

Stephen Ministries PDF Print E-mail

Stephen Ministry is a special ministry in which one Christian reaches out to another in time of need.

A structured program of training and preparation for a caring relationship.

An opportunity to reach out to others: the lonely, the depressed, the inactive, the bereaved, new people in town, those hospitalized and convalescing, the divorced and the aged.

An ongoing helping relationship with scheduled regularity, dependability and confidentiality.

A meaningful way for our church to use more fully our many talents in sharing one another's burdens and joys.

Stephen Ministers receive approximately 50 hours of training based solidly on Biblical testimony and drawing from the best tools of the health and psychological sciences before beginning their Caregiving work.

Commissioned Stephen Ministers serve two-year terms, along with attending continuing education class.
