Prayer Requests
Welcome to St. Peter’s!
If you are looking to grow in your faith, 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.
Please join us for Coffee & Treats
You are invited to join us for some refreshments and treats in the commons right after the service. Get to know some fellow worshippers. We serve Caribou Coffee and offer water bottles and juice. Thanks to Dawn & Herm Schaekel for supplying the treats today. Interested in taking a week? Signup on the clipboard next to the coffee.
Join Pastor Dave as he leads Bible Study Today
What is the first step to a life of simplicity? Join fellow worshippers to go a little deeper into additional Scripture verses that talk about forgiveness, and the way the Spirit will unclutter your soul.
It begins after worship in the Discipleship Room to the right as you leave the sanctuary. Pick up some refreshments on your way in. We have Life Application Bibles at each table.
Edina Heritage Award
In the early 1950’s, about 20 years after the congregation began, St. Peter’s had run out of space to accommodate all the families who were gathering to worship. At that time a new sanctuary was imagined that would make a statement about faith and Scripture. Under Pastor Schweigert’s leadership, a new worship space was designed with the experience of architect Ralph Rapson.
In 2013, St. Peter’s has received the Edina Heritage Award “Recognized for preserving and honoring the integrity of the original structure designed by Ralph Rapson and continuing to serve as a community gathering space.” We give glory to God for our the privilege of gathering together to worship each week.

Church Work Day
We’ve got projects galore! In search of willing hands and minimal energy. We will have tools and supplies on hands to tackle projects from washing exterior windows to patching bird and squirrel holes in the pillars and everything in between. We will have coffee brewed, a donut for energy, and a list of projects waiting for your participation. Come when your schedule allows between 8 & Noon on Saturday, June 24. Ask Mark Wheeler for details.
Join Pastor Mark & Joann in Israel
The Disciples had a front row seat to the ministry of Jesus. He taught them. He prepared them. He changed their lives. Is it time to deepen your Biblical faith? On this 10 day tour, we will begin with the calling of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. We will observe locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then we will visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin. We will visit the garden where we are reminded of the empty tomb, then looking to the hillside, recall Jesus Ascension where He would commission His disciples. You are invited to join us with your Bible in hand.
Interested in participating but the cost causing you to think it wouldn’t be possible? On of our members has offered to pay up to half of the cost of the trip for a member to attend. Reach out to Pastor Mark if that would make a difference for your participation - or for another person.
View more details about the trip below. You may also pick up a printed copy at the Welcome Center.
Men’s Bible Discussion Group - The Book of Job
The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts, and beliefs around ourselves. “It’s all about you!” we are encouraged to think. In the world’s philosophy, we become the author and hero of our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one where another hero—the actual Author of life—takes center stage. In the book of Job, God reminds us that we exist not for ourselves but to glorify the God who deserves all worship and praise.
This group is designed for men of all ages to strengthen their faith in God and friendships with each other through learning about the Bible.
Bring a Bible. We use a combination of open verse by verse reading and video message to challenge us as we live out our lives and seek to be Godly men. Fridays 7:30-8:30am in the Discipleship Room at St. Peter’s.
The Chosen Small Group
Have you discovered The Chosen? It is the story of Christ and His Disciples in dramatic style. Witness some of the events and the signs, wonders, and messages of our Lord as seen through the eyes of the disciples. While based on the Biblical accounts, the interaction and dialogue is engaging and powerful. You will certainly be moved.
Led by Tim & Elizabeth Gaudineer, this small group meets on Wednesdays at 10am at St. Peter’s in the Discipleship Room. If you have questions, call (952) 934-4213.
