care and love shown to my family and I during the passing of my

by your prayers and love during these trying moments.

Senior Citizens’ Ministry
Charleston South Carolina Trip
The Senior Citizens’ Ministry of St. Peter is hosting a 3 day - 2 night trip to
Charleston, S.C., on May 26th - 28th, 2015. Flyers are available in the Narthex
and the fellowship hallway.
Saint Peter Baptist Church is going “Go Red” on February 8, 2015!
Why? To raise awareness about two health issues that impact African American
women disproportionately – heart disease and HIV. Heart disease is the leading
cause of death for Black women. Only one in five African American women
thinks she is personally at risk. Of our sisters ages 20 and older, 46.9% have
cardiovascular disease. Heart disease causes 1 in 3 women’s deaths each year;
killing approximately one woman every minute. It is imperative to inform all
women of heart disease, so they can take steps to reduce their risk.
Can heart attacks be prevented? It is estimated that 80% of the cardiovascular
events (heart attacks) are preventable.
What about HIV? Black women make up approximately 10% of Virginia’s
population, but account for 75% of the women living with HIV in this state.
They are 15 times more likely to be living with HIV than White women. Many
women do not believe they are personally at risk for HIV, and many do not
know their HIV status. It is important to raise the awareness of women,
particularly Black women, so they can take steps to reduce their chances of
becoming infected with HIV.
Is HIV preventable? YES!
Remember “Go Red” on February 8th. It is the hope of the Health and
Wellness Ministry to see all St. Peter members and friends (male and female;
adults and children) in many shades of red on this day to support and encourage
all females to take steps to protect their overall health and reduce risk for heart
disease and HIV. Let’s make this a family effort as we recognize National Go
Red Day (which is February 6th) and National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
(which is February 7th).
*Mark Your Calendars*
Monday, February 9th at 7:00 p.m. - HANDS - ONLY CPR (Open to the St.

Boy Scouts at St. Peter Baptist Church
Scouting at St Peter is divided into two separate programs:
Cub Scouts (Pack 732) which includes boys ages 6 - 11 or grades 1 through 5.
Tiger Cubs - Grade 1
Wolf Cubs - Grade 2
Bear Cubs - Grade 3
Webelos - Grade 4-5
Cultural Heritage Ministry
“St. Peter’s Got Talent”
On Friday, February 27, 2015, we will present our very first “St. Peter's Got
Talent” production, featuring the awesome gifts and talents of our very own
church family members. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. with a
pre-program from the Silver Strings Ministry beginning at 6:45 p.m. Come out to
support and be uplifted by song, drama, spoken word, and dance!
Each boy can earn badges at each level but this is not a requirement in order to
advance. The highest rank for a cub scout is the “Arrow of Light” which is
earned while the scout is in the Webelos program. Last year St. Peter had two
“Arrow of Light” recipients: Jayden Maddox and Malcolm Whitfield.
Boy Scouts (Troop 732) which are for boys ages 12 - 18 or grades 6 - 12.
The scout ranking is not dependent on age but on the scout having performed
various requirements. Scouts are ranked and advance according to the following:
Scout
Tenderfoot
Second Class
First Class
Star
Life
Eagle
Scouts earn merit badges in different areas of study of which 21 are required for
the rank of Eagle. St Peter has had 10 scouts reach the rank of Eagle and 4
within the past few months: Travis Henderson, Nate Kelley, James Hayes, and
Floyd Johnson.
Scouts often take a merit badge class that interests him in a field of study. There
are merit badges for Engineering, Dentistry, Geology, Law, Oceanography, and
many others (over 120 total). Merit badges must have a counselor which is a
person familiar with the field of study. It is often difficult to find counselors
willing to give their time to share their knowledge with the kids.
Scouting at St Peter is well supported at all levels, but the program is always in
need of adults who are interested in providing leadership. Providing leadership
does not necessarily mean that you have to spend time helping the boys with
outdoor activities; it may simply mean providing some of the day-to-day skills like
reading, public speaking, and family life.
Anyone interested in being a positive influence in a young man’s life, please come
out on Tuesday night (at 6:30 p.m. in the Small Multi-Purpose Room) or see one
of the scout leaders for more information.

To Pastor Walton and the St. Peter Baptist Church Family:
I wanted to send a note of thanks for being part of my 5th year celebration as
Pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Honestly, there are no words that can
adequately express my sincere appreciation to each of you. The presence of the
Holy Spirit could genuinely be felt in every facet of ministry provided. I am
deeply humbled by the constant and consistent love you show toward me and
my family. Last, thank you Pastor for always selflessly imparting wisdom and
guidance, as directed by God, in my life.
Love and Peace,
