It is with great sadness that I report that our friend and sister in Christ, Gloria Reynolds has died.

Gloria was a life-long member of St. Peter's Church. Although she was not always able to get to services as her health declined, many of you may have come to know her through her unique ministry for our Church family: Gloria was the diligent volunteer who made the reminder phone calls every week to those who were scheduled on our Sunday service Rosters.

Her faith in our Lord and Savior was profound and she gladly shared it with others.

Gloria was a friendly and kind-hearted soul who made friends wherever she went. She will be greatly missed.

Service details are not yet available - the details will be provided as soon as they are available.

May she rest in peace in the loving arms of our loving God,

An update from Anna Tweten

To my dear friends and family at St. Peter’s:

Many of you contributed to my efforts to raise funds for micro-loans to benefit impoverished women in Northern Ghana. This effort was to benefit a network of communities involved in the RUSODEF Project, a locally-run non-profit organization that my class at the Washington Semester Program was able to assist and visit on our trip to Ghana. With your help, my group and I raised $830 in loans for the RUSODEF women! It was a highly successful fundraising effort that will benefit the recipients’ families for years to come.

Pictures of my class and the women accepting micro-loans in a RUSODEF village as well as photographs can be seen in the June issue of The Peppercorn, also available on this website. (Click the link on the left hand side of the home page.)

While we were there, we were able to meet the group of women who would be receiving your donations. The women were well organized, with self-elected leaders, and their confidence and strength needed no interpreter to translate. Such a group of women with financial authority is rare in the region, and my professor explained that this gift would be hugely empowering for them and change the perception of women in their villages. As we played with their children, helped them draw water from their reservoir and laughed with them, I saw how our donation shored up their ability to face difficult odds with dignity and respect.

My heart goes out in thanks to everyone who showed such support for me and for this project- I truly believe that together we made the world a little smaller and extended the love of St. Peter’s community even to the furthest corners of the globe. Blessings and peace to all of you and, as the RUSODEF women would say to you if they were able, thank you.

Sincerely,

Anna Tweten
