See the Blessings
What if we see God’s blessings throughout 2024?
See that God has been faithful in the past.
See that God never gives up on you.
See that God's love for you never changes and is based in His goodness, not your performance.
See that God has already blessed you today for new days tomorrow.
On the title art, look through the window of the New Year. Our desire at St. Peter's is to help you see clearly. Not to see the year ahead as a dried up, hopeless desert. Rather, to look through the window and see the life and blessings that the Lord provides for your future days ahead. Welcome to the blessings of 2014!
All the series of Sunday messages are available on demand:
We are Thrilled You are Here!
If you are looking to grow in your faith, we are glad to welcome you! Stop at the welcome center for a “Welcome Home” book with more details about St. Peter’s. We’d love for you to call us your church home. If we can serve you in some way or you’d like to receive a weekly email complete the Digital Connect Card.
Start Here!
We are offering a 3-week orientation to St. Peter's via Zoom on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 PM. January 30, February 6, February 13. You will learn about how to take the next step in your faith walk to DISCOVER / CONNECT / ENGAGE. Participating in this orientation is also the first step to prepare those interested in church membership at St. Peter's.
Encourage anyone who may be interested to participate! You can still hop in this week. Our assignment from the first week was to read 2 chapters of the gospel of Luke every day.
Voters’ Assembly
Each February, we give an update on our progress together toward our annual ministry plan. Come find out what we are doing together in the Kingdom of God! Sunday, February 11 following worship.
Coming February 11!
Jesus invited His disciples to “Come, follow me.” Jesus was inviting all of us to enter His kingdom right here and now. This Lent, we will be reading the red letters in the Bible (the words spoken by Jesus) together & on our own. This 40-day challenge examine His words, His habits, and His life, and presents them in a simple-to understand, but challenging way that will produce results in your life. The best way to follow Jesus is simply to follow Jesus!!! You will receive a book with daily readings, we will cover discipleship principles on Sundays. There is even a book specifically for families with children. And we hope you will take part in a small group either in person or on Zoom.
We look forward to practically, and daily, living out our faith.
The Hope
The Hope: The Rebirth of Israel takes viewers on a journey through the 50 years that preceded the founding of the modern State of Israel. To understand the current struggles, a grasp of history is important. See history unfold through the eyes of some of Israel’s visionaries and founders.
Bring some treats into the Discipleship Room just to the right outside the sanctuary. We will start at 10:40am and wrap up about 11:30am.
This week we will look at Golda Meir & Independence Day in 1948.
A Trip to Israel Now?
It may seem like poor timing to schedule a trip to the Holy Land as a war rages. Commercial airline flights into Tel Aviv were restored this week! Our 2024 Trip was postponed (we would have been there right now) but we are making plans for 2025. It will be important to show our support for the Israeli's in the months ahead. Families depend on tourism so many are struggling. We did not have plans to visit any of the areas affected by the conflict. There has been ongoing clashes and war in the land for 100 years. We would cancel if there is any danger.
The gospels give us the narrative of Jesus and His disciples. We will begin the journey at Galilee where Jesus called the disciples to follow. Visit locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin.
Emergency Contact Info
St. Peter's Family,
It is important that the church has contact information so that we would be able to contact a loved one should we not be able to reach you directly. Thank you for providing this information to enable us to serve your Spiritual needs.
