Announcements (4-9-23)
Prayer Requests
Welcome to St. Peter’s!
Today we extend a special welcome to all who are visiting this Sunday! If you are looking to grow in your faith in the New Year and have joined us on your own, we are thrilled 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.
Easter Photo Booth
All we need is your picture… Stop by the free photo booth this morning to get some fun pictures that you can share with your loved ones. You never know how your simple celebration of the day will help encourage others to dig into the message of the Empty Tomb. The photo booth is located in the commons. There are instructions for immediately receiving your pictures so you can post them.
Please join us for Coffee & Treats
Every week, you are invited to join us for some refreshments and treats. This morning, enjoy a variety of tasty items to hold you over until Easter Dinner! There are extra tables in the Discipleship Room if you would like to gather with friends / family. (There will be no Bible class on Easter Sunday - See you Next week!)
Recorded Messages
The message from our service each week is posted on our website. These are professionally produced videos that include a song from our praise team. They are perfect for watching when you can’t be present, or listen to the messages when driving or exercising. Visit the StPetersEdina YouTube channel to see a collection of 100’s of messages, kids’ videos, and St. Peter’s music.
Financial Peace University
Interested in changing your future? St. Peter’s is offering a class just for you. Financial Peace University is a 9 week long class beginning Wednesday, April 12 at 7pm. We have been thrilled to help dozens of members and community friends learn great skills regarding their finances. Join Pastor Mark & Joann who will facilitate the classes. We have some community friends signed up. Will you be part of our time together too?
Anxious For Nothing
Over the past few decades, studies have shown that Americans are the most anxious people in the world. We take the most medication for it, see doctors to treat it, and spend fortunes trying to relieve it. How have we let our fears get the better of us? In Anxious for Nothing, Max Lucado leads readers to reflect on the promises of Philippians 4:4-8. This passage from Paul's epistle contains an antidote to anxiety that will help you develop a mindset of resilience. Join Tim & Elizabeth Gaudineer who will serve as hosts in the Discipleship Room every Wednesday from 10:00-11:30am.
Blood, Food, Clothing & Electronics Drive
In partnership with the Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans, St. Peter’s will again be hosting a blood drive on Thursday, April 27. The American Red Cross sets up a donation center all afternoon in our sanctuary. Make a difference in the lives of young and old alike by donating. Many appointments are available, but they will fill up quickly. Appointments get priority over walk-ins — an sometimes there have been so many here from the community that we have had to turn blood donors away.
We simultaneously have a used electronics, clothing, and food drive. All donations support veteran causes - providing clothing for job interviews and family members, and food to set up apartments for veterans after being released from the VA. Spring cleaning anyone???
