ST. PETER’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
2021 ANNUAL MEETING
21 February 2021
Report from the Senior Warden, Dr. Ron Carey
The year 2020 more than challenged us to continue living normally.
Normality indicates a sense of habit, of comfort and our choice. Maybe,
just maybe, we are being forced, pushed and commanded to develop new
normal, filled with ventures of places we have dared to go. Our lives and
behaviors are now directed by many factors beyond our control. We, St.
Peter’s have weathered this storm through more visual communication,
more understanding and adhering to our “Family of Faith” mission.
Accomplishments continue and new groups were established:
• Food distribution efforts increased from two to four a month. More
provision, from others was provided.
• Pastoral care and support to members, neighbors and community grew in
scope. Church became an increased action and less of the building
• Communication among vestry continued monthly. This was an hour of
prayer, direction and action among persons you entrusted with decisions
responding to our mission.
3
• Our Sunday service, through Zoom, allowed for prayer, extended greetings,
welcoming of new persons and a learning of biblical study by our Priest.
• The financial position of 2020 is strong and 2021 budget indicates
continued progress.
All is well. However, changes are inevitable. Fr. Terry, wife Tiffany and
Langston moved to Texas. Patience and blessings continue in our
leadership. Rev. Dr. Dorothy White joined us and shares love, knowledge,
shepherd qualities and involvement. We continue to accept challenges,
love to our mission and discern what God has in his plan for us.
It is my privilege to be a vestry member and enjoy your support.
Report from the Junior Warden, Olivia Brown
With the occurrence of the 2020 pandemic around the world, our church
family of St. Peter’s has begun to realize how valuable our coffee hours
have meant to us. By the Grace of God, we have been able to keep our faith
community together each Sunday since the church shut-down, March 6th. It
was during this time that we began our Sunday sessions by way of the
internet-zoom. We are still very strong in our membership and increasingly
gathering new people to join us each Sunday. Our coffee hours have
offered an opportunity for us to see one another, to receive blessings from
our inspirational sermons and gatherings in small groups so that we can
fellowship and digest the information received from the Word of God.

The kitchen in our facility needs to be remodeled for us to have a place
where we can prepare our meals and meet and greet one another with
spiritual nourishment. Thus, we are applying for assistance from the Scott
Foundation for funds to provide for this work to be done.
The Scott Foundation offers money to the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia for
capital improvements for mission churches. The total cost of the work that
we are proposing is estimated at $14,995 to complete all three projects.
The Foundation has $35,000.00 which will be divided between several
churches in need. This is the reason that we have prioritized our requests
for any funds to assist with these projects. Our first priority will be our
kitchen, our second, will be the women’s bathroom which we would like to
make handicapped accessible. The third, would be the work that needs to
be done in the men’s bathroom. If you have any questions about these
projects, you may address them to Daniel Komline and Johnnie Payne who
will be supervising and overseeing the work.
Any assistance that we are blessed to receive from the Scott Foundation will
be greatly appreciated.
Report from the Sharing Circle, Marc Lockhart
The Sharing Circle is an initiative to connect church members who might
need things with those who can make them available. It began in April
2020 in response to the pandemic to provide disinfectant, wipes, spray
5
bottles, toilet paper, and paper towels to any member who needed them. It
later grew to serve neighborhood residents with a generous donation from
St. John’s Episcopal Church’s Outreach Ministry.
As the need for paper products and cleaners diminished, the Sharing Circle
shifted its focus to projects and activities. Over the course of last year,
many members offered or received items and services through the Sharing
Circle, such as:
● Distributed Lysol, wipes, and towels to lots of folks
● Gave rides to medical appointments
● Called members who do not attend coffee hour to keep in touch
● Provided a used bike for a member’s mobility
● Transported a dozen people to vote last November with Souls to the Polls
● Cooked and distributed Thanksgiving meals
● Put together Christmas bags of prayer cards and gifts for teenagers and
delivered them to the group home across the street
● Assembled and delivered Lenten bags
● Began a partnership with River Road Baptist Church
I would like to thank Olivia, Karla, LaVerne, Lindsay, Daniel, Thom, Margaret,
Torey, Peter, Jay, and Marilie for their participation. Their energy kept us
connected during this time of social isolation and strengthened our
relationship as a church and with the community. I am deeply grateful for
6
all of their efforts and look forward to what the Lord may guide us toward
in the coming year.
Report from the Food Distribution Program, Dr. Ron Carey
Numerous national and state level reports constantly use and continually
refer to the rising number of citizens facing and experiencing homelessness
a lack of food for family. Many long lines of person, waiting sometimes for
hours, may leave with little or no food because the amount of food for the
day is depleted. The pandemic, identified with loss of job, not receiving
replacement checks or other factors have plunged the numbers to a new
low.
Here at St. Peter’s, where our food distribution began more than ten years
ago, we continue to partner with Peter-Paul Development Center (PPDC) to
feed those who come to the Parish Hall to receive bagged food. The
distribution is held each Wednesday at 8:30 am with the adherence to
COVID-19 protocols (masks, distancing, etc.). No one is turned away!
Many of you have consistently provided funds through pledges of
restricted funds. These funds are used to purchase canned food items and
other anticipated needs of our recipients. Additionally, weekly homemade
soups and breads from the Underground Kitchen (UGK) are welcomed. Our
committee, volunteer congregation, meet to assist in many ways to ensure
7
safety, carry food to vehicles, assist with prayer, provide requested services,
and transport food to homes. Likewise, we use the COVID-19 protocols to
keep our group healthy, while we are together.
The numbers on each distribution day varies from forty to seventy. We
look forward to this opportunity to serve.
Thank YOU – St. Peter’s
Report from the Intercessory Prayer Group, Nikki Fernandes
For the past year and a half, the St. Peter's intercessory prayer group has
met for an hour on Saturdays to pray for the needs of the church, the
neighborhood, our city and our Nation. Originally, we gathered once a
month, but during the spring and summer of 2020, after sensing the
greater needs of the pandemic, we moved to weekly virtual meetings.
Currently, the group meets twice a month on every second and fourth
Saturday from 3 - 4 PM. During our time together, we share prayer
requests, meditate on a scripture, and then alternate praying over requests.
We prioritize praying for the patrons of our food distribution during every
meeting. Anywhere between 3-6 St. Peter's members typically attend, but
all are welcomed to join! You can contact Nikki
at [email protected] for more information and our Zoom
meeting link.

Report from the Bible Study Group, Lindsay Goodrich Komline
Bible study at St. Peter's Episcopal church began the year 2020 with weekly
dinners and discussions of scripture hosted by Daniel and Lindsay Goodrich
Komline. In March, our meetings switched to a Zoom format to adapt to
the necessary safety measures for the COVID-19 virus. This change has
been difficult, but it has also allowed us to connect with members of St.
Peter's who were not attending Bible study previously. It has also been a
reliable way to maintain community. As a group, we reflect on a scripture
reading from the previous Sunday's service - usually the gospel reading.
Attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts and questions freely. The
format is not consecutive and this allows people to attend whenever they
are able, rather than requiring them to be present every week. However, we
have a fairly regular, committed group and we welcome anyone who
would like to join!
Meeting Day & Time: Wednesdays, 7:00 - 8:15pm
Average attendance: There is a range of 3 - 12 persons, with an estimated
average of about 7 people attending.
Report from the Cemetery Cleanup, Jabriel Hasan
Attentive to rousing calls for racial justice through Summer 2020, Nikki
Fernandez and Jabriel Hasan sought to apply that energy towards equitably
commemorating Black sacred spaces. East End Cemetery and Evergreen
9
became natural focal points for directing assistance, considering their
historical significance and the desire to address the most local community
needs. Notably, these conjoined burial sites are the final resting place of
numerous prominent, Black Richmonders, including Maggie L. Walker.
Spanning from August to October, Nikki and Jabriel led a small yet
committed team of volunteers for a few hours of cleanup and landscaping
service at the burial grounds one Saturday each month. Mindful of falling
temperatures, they decided to postpone activities until early spring
2021. They expect March to offer more suitable weather conditions, at
which point this volunteer opportunity may continue indefinitely. Gratitude
is extended to all participants. Our work continues!
Report from the St. Peter’s website, Carolyn Moomaw Chilton
1. Statistics on the St. Peter’s website: stpeterschurchhill.org
Average views per day: April 2019-February 12, 2021
26% of our views come on Sundays. The highest day was March 29, 2020
which was the 2nd Sunday of the cancellation of public worship due to the
pandemic and the 2nd Sunday of our offering virtual sermons.
10
2. Monthly traffic on the website: April 2019-Feb. 12, 2021
The two main units of traffic measurement on the website
are views and visitors.
• A view (the lighter shade) is counted when a visitor loads or reloads a page.
• A visitor (the darker shade) is counted when we see a user or browser for
the first time in a selected time frame.
So, if 1 person reads 3 posts on your site, that would be counted as 1 visitor
and 3 views.
Most of our website traffic comes from people entering our name in their
search engine, such as, Google.
11
3. Social Media – Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stpeterschurchhill
The FB page is maintained by Randy Layers and Carolyn Chilton.
Page and post views, reach and engagement are up slightly from last year.
The most popular posts are about neighborhood involvement, Sunday
worship, and when we change the cover or profile pictures.
386 people have liked the page. 408 people follow it.
4. YouTube: St. Peter's Church Hill
Our YouTube channel was begun in late spring 2020 as one way to archive
the Neighborhood Interviews from Lent 2020, the sermons during the
summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, and our sermons during the
pandemic. The BLM sermons from four of our young adults remain the
most viewed each having over 200 views. December’s Christmas Eve
children’s service is next in line with 64. Sermons receive an average of 35.
12
Until Jan. 3, 2021 we were posting each week’s sermon and some special
services on our own YouTube Channel. Since then sermons have been
posted to YouTube but not to our specific channel. Prior to January 3 we
would receive most visits on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. We
have 37 subscribers/followers to our channel.
5. Online Giving: Giving page on our website
We launched our website’s online giving page in January 2020. To date we
have received a total of 106 online donations for a gross total of
$17,538.83. The average online donation is $165.46. We have 32 online
donors and 64% of them make a recurring donation (weekly, monthly or
yearly). Please note that these figures are for online giving only.
Report on the Neighborhood Violence Initiative, Torey J. Edmonds
Healthy Communities for Youth is a CDC funded, five year project. The goal
of the project is to promote healthy communities for youth and reduce
rates of violence. It will enhance selected youth programs to address the
needs of the community.
The project will be implemented at randomly assigning three communities
within Richmond such that we will initiate the intervention in one
community beginning in Project Year 2, a second community in Project
Year 3, and a third community serves as a control community and receives
training and technical assistances at the end of the project.
13
To achieve this goal, the project will implement and evaluate a
comprehensive approach that incorporates the Communities That Care
(CTC) PLUS the Walker Talker (WT) and Plain Talk (PT) models.
These strategies are grounded in theoretical frameworks with proven
effectiveness in reducing youth risk behaviors. Our community-level
intervention will:
• Use the CTC prevention system to build capacity and help stakeholders and
decision-makers select and implement the most appropriate evidence-
based prevention programs for their community.
• The CTC process begins with a youth and adult surveys to identify a
community’s risks and strengths. Based on these data, CTC helps

communities select and implement tested & effective prevention programs
and policies. CTC also helps amplify programs already working.
• Cultivate social capital to increase community residents’ capacity, and
awareness of, connection with, and access to these positive youth
development resources via the WT and PT strategies.
Walker Talkers will conduct door-to-door outreach in target neighborhoods
and: facilitate access to positive opportunities for youth and families.
Community Conversations are based on reaching community residents and
provides the WTs with a comfortable, non-threatening environment to
educate and communicate information to community adults regarding
positive opportunities for youth and ways to reduce youth risk. Through
community conversations, policy and systems issues will be identified and
solutions will be sought collectively.
This project is a community led effort that will function under an advisory
group comprising of key stakeholders. The stakeholders will form
workgroups to guide the identification of priority areas, develop action plan
and implement and evaluate evidence based programs.
Community Board Structure:
Healthy Communities for Youth
Community Board for Mosby & Whitcomb Courts

Report from the Vocational Deacon, Rev. Deacon Karla Westfall Hunt
During 2020, I participated on the first and third Wednesday of each month
with the preparation and distribution of food bags to those in need. Olivia
Brown and I collected prayer requests and participated in Bible Study in the
church basement following distribution. Since the onset of pandemic
restrictions in March, while the Bible Study has been temporarily shut down,
17
food distribution continues and is occasionally conducted on additional
Wednesdays as well. We continue to collect prayer requests and add them
to our Prayers of the People during Zoom coffee hours.
St. Peter’s was partnering with St. John’s in offering Our Lives/Our Legacies
interviews during Lent. Parishioners from each church participated in an
oral history with videotaped responses to questions about racial issues and
their impact on the lives of these folks while growing up. Two videotaped
interviews were viewed before the pandemic restrictions in March and this
program has since been put on hold until we are able to meet together
again in person.
In conjunction with Andrew, I helped move our weekly in-person worship to
a Zoom coffee hour in March. Before pandemic restrictions, I was preaching
a children’s sermon once a month but joined a rotation of preachers who
offer sermons on YouTube after Andrew’s departure. With the arrival of our
interim priest, I enjoyed her sermons through the end of the year before re-
commencing my once-a-month schedule.
Shortly after the beginning of pandemic restrictions, a group of interested
parishioners created a new ministry called the Sharing Circle. The goal of
the ministry is to assist those in need during these difficult times, including
not only fellow members but also neighbors and non-churchgoers. Needs
addressed have included transportation to doctors’ appointments or other
essential travel, errands to deliver goods so that people can safely stay
18
home, provision of cleaning items for disinfecting and other sorts of
general assistance. This ministry has proven flexible enough to
accommodate many different activities such as Souls to the Polls (providing
information and transportation to enable everyone to vote), Thanksgiving
in a Box (delivering turkey dinners to those in need) and organizing the
congregation in providing Christmas stockings to the residents of the
group homes on 22nd Street. As your deacon, I have been privileged to
participate in these on-going and very vital ministries.
I participated periodically in the monthly Evergreen Cemetery cleanup
efforts which members of St. Peter’s have been conducting for some time.
This ministry focuses on restoration and maintenance of historically black
burial places. My daughter and I have been irregular volunteers in these
efforts for a number of years before my assignment here and we are happy
to be continuing with the group from St. Peter’s.
Upon the occasion of Andrew’s departure, I collected messages from the
parishioners that were printed and attached to the back of a framed print of
the screenshot of one of our Zoom coffee hours. The mat around the print
was inscribed with the names of everyone in our directory.
Since the beginning of pandemic restrictions, it has been my practice to
contact members either by email, text message or telephone to offer
pastoral care and a listening ear. I have had many delightful conversations
getting to know folks and their needs and concerns.
19
In June, it was my intention to travel to Atlanta to attend a three-day Justice
Pilgrimage offered by the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing.
Unfortunately, pandemic restrictions changed those plans such that I now
hope to be able to attend this coming summer. In the meantime, I have
participated in various workshops focused on racial healing offered by the
Absalom Jones Center and other organizations. I participated in the clergy
walk from the Robert E. Lee statue to Monroe Park this summer and also in
the prayer vigil conducted in the Monument Avenue median in August.
With Andrew’s departure, I initiated a Parish Discernment Committee for
one of our parishioners discerning a path to the priesthood. I became the
temporary point person for various contacts around Richmond including
Ana Diallo, VCU, working to publicize the Health and Wellness program for
Older Adults at the Hub on 25th Street. I enrolled in the Richmond Public
Schools East End Hub sign-up in order to bring more ministry opportunities
to St. Peter’s parishioners.
In my non-St. Peter’s diaconal ministries, I continue to work with the
Richmond Police Department’s Faith Leaders group and participate in
RESETs (Rapid Engagement of Support in the Event of Trauma). Following a
homicide or other traumatic event, several of us go door-to-door in the
affected neighborhood checking on residents, offering prayer and a
listening ear and distributing a brochure of community resources. With
assistance from a parishioner, I followed RPS school buses delivering food
20
through neighborhoods in need distributing face masks to recipients. My
ministry as a Spiritual Care Partner with the chaplain’s office at Richmond
Community Hospital has not yet been approved to resume but I look
forward to picking this up again as soon as possible.
I passed my one-year anniversary at St. Peter’s in August 2020 and continue
to give humble thanks for placement with this wonderful family of
parishioners. Thank you.

Report from the Interim Priest, Rev. Dr. Dorothy White, D. Min.
Dear St. Peter’s family,
The word that comes to my heart/mind about ministry is,
kaleidoscope. God has ushered me through a season of working primarily
with children. God is using those experiences to continue to teach me a
new way of “ministering/seeing.”
25
Nothing that I have been through shall be wasted. I see a constantly
changing pattern emanating from a kaleidoscope of views. Your kindness
and support in allowing me to serve enhances my life and purpose. I am
grateful.
