Mayor Steven C. Bateman, Councilman Elvis Maldonado, Councilwoman Patricia Fairclough-McCormick, Councilman Jimmie L. Williams, III and Councilman Stephen R. Shelley presented a proclamation naming June 27th as St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church Day in honor of what can be done when members of the community come together to improve one of their pillars of faith.
Last year military men and women, members of Homestead Job Corps and members of Speedway Community Church assisted in reroofing St. Peter Missionary Baptist church after a fire had damaged it. During the proclamation, Homestead Job Corps also presented the Church with a metal cross it created as a final touch to the church steeple. Pastor Brock Shiffer of Speedway Community Church and Reverend Samuel E. Sullivan of Greater New Mount Zion AME Church were also present during the proclamation.
