Retired Pastor - Pete Weaver
Pete and Wilma came to Florida in June, 1971 as single youths. Pete was a student of Eastern Mennonite College and Wilma had finished a year of teaching school in South Carolina. They chose Palm Grove as their home church and were married in December of 1972. After Pete's graduation from EMC in 1974, they returned to Florida and Pete obtained his contractor's license. Pete was called by the church in 1993 to serve on the Pastoral Team.
After having raised their daughter and son, and their subsequent marriages (Julie to Ed Overholt and Rocky to Heidi Wesselhoeft) they now enjoy their eight grandchildren,
ages 3-11. Pete's passion for the church is that "all would grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and know the joy of walking in truth". Wilma's desire is to see the beauty of the Lord in every situation.
UPDATE: In 2021 God suddenly called Pastor Pete HOME to his eternal reward. “Well done, though good and faithful servant….” Matthew 25:21
