STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS
Therefore do not be anxious...But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all
these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:31a,33 (ESV)
We serve a God who knows our every need. Before we can begin to form the words to ask for
help, before we are ready to turn to the Lord in prayer, long before we are even aware that we
are in need, God knows. He knows that we need physical essentials like food, water, clothing,
and shelter. He also knows that we need spiritual essentials like love, hope, assurance, and
peace. Our God knows our needs, and He graciously provides for all of them even the needs
we do not yet know ourselves.
This month, as we bid farewell to our senior pastor and his wife, many of us also say goodbye
to a gentle leader, a compassionate listener, a patient teacher, a wise counselor, a gifted mentor, and a beloved friend. Our hearts rejoice for Pastor and Susan as they begin a new chapter
in their lives, but our hearts are also heavy with sorrow. Their absence from this congregation
will be for us, a great loss.
God knows, and God provides. Just as He has so faithfully done all these many two hundred
and thirty five years here at St. Peters, God will continue to provide for us all that we need.
Therefore, do not grieve without hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13) and do not be anxious about
anything. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Our Lord will take care of
everything else.
Written by Pastor Paulette
On behalf of the Stewardship & Finance Committee
At the December 14th council meeting, Larry James informed the council members
that the Assistant to the Bishop for Ministry and Ecumenism for the NALC, The Rev. Dr. David
Wendel had given him the name of Pastor Carl A. Voges who could serve as Interim Pastor upon
Pastor Rawls retirement. Pastor Voges came to meet with the council at 4:00pm on December
28th. Below is the biography that was provided to all the council members. The council met again
on January 4th at 4:00pm to approve a compensation package as presented by the four council
members on the Stewardship and Finance Committee and at that time the council unanimously
voted to hire Pastor Voges as the Interim Pastor. He will begin serving our Church after Pastor
Rawls retirement.
Pr. Voges is a graduate of Valparaiso University (IN, 1962), Concordia Theological Seminary (IL,
1966) and Princeton theological Seminary (NJ, 1969). He was ordained in July, 1967, and began
exercising the Churchs ministry at Saint Thomas Lutheran Church, Englishtown, NJ. In May, 1978,
he accepted the call to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Columbia, SC, and served there for twenty
eight years. He retired from the full-time ministry in April, 2006.
He and his wife, Joan, have been gifted with three daughters and sons-in-laws (Elizabeth and Jens
Rosinski, Columbia, SC; Catherine and Scot Manchester, Little Rock, AR; Susan and Wayne Viar,
Dacula, GA) along with six grandchildren. Since retirement and for extended time periods, he has
served Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, Augusta, GA; Greenwood Lutheran Church, Greenwood,
SC; and Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, West Ashley, SC He has also presided and preached for a
number of parishes in GA, NC, and SC. He and his wife are members of The Lutheran Church of the
Good Shepherd, Greenville, SC.
Since December, 2005 he has been serving as the Vicar (assistant to the Senior) of the Society of
the Holy Trinity (STS). The Society supports Lutheran pastors from more than ten denominations
(in the United States and Canada) in remaining faithful to the promises spoken at their ordinations. He visits Society-related parishes on occasional weekends for preaching and teaching while
participating in STS chapter retreats throughout North America. He is currently working on a
campaign to raise contributions for the Societys Endowment Fund and to help the Society establish a Center for Parish Ministry.

Starting February 1 the youth will be collecting the Annual Souper Bowl of Caring donations at the beginning of each service. The money collected will go to feeding those who
are unable to provide food for themselves.
The youth would like to extend an enormous Thank You to everyone who donated towards our youth room remodel effort. For all intents and purposes the room is now done!
And that certainly wouldnt be the case without the help you provided. We would love
for any of you to wander up to the room and see the product of your support. We would
also like to extend an invitation to any small groups who could use a comfortable room
with a nice TV for their meeting space. Thank you all so much again from the youth committee and youth group. We love the room!
