The Sharing Our Story Videos Go National
In October, St. Peter's posted short daily video clips featuring conversations with parishioners about how they've experienced God's grace. These videos were picked up nationally by The Episcopal Network for Stewardship, and portions of 16 interviews were combined to make a short film -- complete with a blooper reel! The clips and film are available on the St. Peter's website www.stpeterschicago.org.
