Thank You to the Congregation

We would like to thank all our friends at St. Peter for their kind words, cards, thoughts, and prayers concerning Elmer’s stroke and death.  Everything was appreciated.

Healthy Baby Boys and Meal Trains

We are pleased to share that Ethan Jeffrey Rockwell and Owen Randall Beheyt both made an appearance on Monday, June 2nd. Moms and babies are doing well – thanks be to God! Please take a look at the following links to help with remaining meals:

• Rockwell Meal Train
• Beheyt Meal Train

PLEASE NOTE Summer Schedule: Worship and Office Hours

Until Rally Day this fall, worship will begin at 9am and Sunday School will be in recess. Make a note! If you show up at 10:07, you will not be early!

Also, the office hours for summer will be Tuesday and Thursday from about 10:30am to about 12:30pm, and Wednesday from about 1-3pm. These times are subject to a bit of “flexing” since there’s very little that needs to happen at a very specific time in the summer – please extend grace. Emailing the office is the surest way to get a response or coordinate a time to drop in!

Women of St. Peter Luncheon

If you are a woman (high school or older) at St. Peter, you’re automatically invited! Please come to Jan Orlowski’s house on Sunday, June 22 at 1pm for a lovely luncheon on her lovely patio. (In case of rain, we’ll be in the basement but the event is still “on.”) No need to bring anything! Thanks, Jan!

Deaconess Amy Smessaert will lead a short devotion in her Women of the Bible series and then we will elect officers and decide where to spend any money remaining in the treasury. See Paula Ryan or Jan if you have questions, and please sign up on the sheet under the slat wall. If you’re unsure how to get there or would prefer to ride with somebody, please let Renee know so we can coordinate logistics. Maps are available with the sign-up sheet on the table under the slat wall.

Thank You – and Thanks be to God!

• For our wonderful Stephen Ministers and the work they do in walking alongside folks in our congregation through life’s twists and turns.
• And for the mutual spiritual care, fellowship, and service of the Hesses, Streets, and Brays here at St. Peter as they venture into their next steps of faith.

Sunday Servants Gather Before Worship

All who help lead the Divine Service gather promptly at 8:55am to take 3 minutes to prepare their hearts and minds for worship. If you are serving as altar guild, usher, crucifer/acolyte, lector, greeter, tech person, elder, musician/dancer, doorkeeper or other HEART member, etc. on a particular Sunday, please come together for quick introductions and short prayer led by Deaconess Amy Smessaert. Together, we will ask God to bless our service to God’s people as we live connected in spiritual formation in Christ.
