Service and Outreach

MANNA Feeding Ministry

During the Fall and Spring semesters, the Episcopal Church at Ole Miss (ECOM) along with St. Peter's Oxford, hosts Manna: A Feeding Ministry, for less-fed residents of the Oxford Housing Authority, referrals from Interfaith Compassion Ministry, and others on Thursday afternoons from St. Peter's Kitchen. Participation in MANNA is usually accepted as a form of community service. 

Most volunteer shifts last for no more than one hour (between 2:00 and 5:30 p.m.).  We appreciate all who are able to assist with this important servant ministry. Click here to complete the online Manna Volunteer Form.

Leap Frog

Leap Frog is an after-school tutoring and enrichment program that serves first and second graders from Lafayette County and Oxford City schools Monday through Thursday. Leap Frog is sponsored jointly by St. Peter's, Oxford-University United Methodist and United Way. During the fall and spring semesters student volunteers are needed to help tutor, mentor and carpool students home. We tutor from 3:00-4:00 and mentoring is from 4:00-5:00. We have two sites: St. Peter's and Oxford-University United Methodist churches. Leap Frog's semester is shorter than the University's, we start about a week after school starts and end the last week of classes before finals. If you are interested in volunteering or want more information contact the Executive Director Teresa Adams at 662-234-2411 or by e-mail: leapfrog@dixie-net.com.
