Pastor Nate: Hey everyone, I want to tell you about one of our ministries here at St. Peter's called the Shepherding Care Team. This is a ministry where we go and reach out to those people who haven't been to church in awhile, because we want to let them know that we love them and we want them to return to church where they can be fed by the Word of God and our sacrament. Here today with me is Mike Wiggins, the head of the Shepherding Care Team, and he's going to tell us about what the reward is for him.
Mike: Well, the reward is spectacular to me. I enjoy hearing about someone coming back to church, and it's bringing them back to the scriptures, back to the Lord. It's very exciting to me when that happens.
Pastor Nate: And why is this so important Mike?
Mike: Well, the fact is that it's not really a name, it's not really a number, it's their souls. We're looking at bringing people back, bringing their souls back to the Lord. And trying to bring the sheep back into the pen and bringing the body back together.
Pastor Nate: As Christ has told us it is important for us to go out and look for those lost sheep. So, if you can write a note, if you can send a text, or make a call, or if you can even meet with someone face to face, or just help us keep track of the records, we invite you to come be a part of the Shepherding Care Team. I promise you, it is rewarding and it is important here at St. Peter's. Peace be with you.
