Announcements (8-25-24)
Welcome
We are expecting God to do great things today! Thanks for connecting with us. If you are on campus, stop at the welcome center for a “Welcome Home” book with more details about St. Peter’s. We’d welcome you to call us your church home.
If you are online or if we can serve you in some way or you’d like to receive a weekly email link to view the message, complete the Digital Connect Card.
Sit back, listen, participate, and enjoy yourself as the love story of Jesus covers over you with peace as only He can bring.
He Gets Us.
Maybe you are concerned that if others knew you and your story and your history, they would push back. And maybe you feel that is how God feels about you too.
Pastor Mark wants us to look at Jesus in a way that we notice the way He approached those He encountered when He lived in our world. The truth is… He gets us. He really does. And He is in love with you.
Maybe you saw these words in an interesting footwashing ad during the Olympics the last weeks. You are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider His way of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. The series will run through the summer Sundays.

Lutheran Schools!
Did you know St. Peter’s operated an elementary school for 68 years? Thousands of students received a solid faith foundation and many, many went on to serve as educators, missionaries, and church workers. What a privilege! What a legacy that continues today as we educate our youngest community students!
Educational choices are so important in an age where many agendas are now taught in public education. One such choice is the schools of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). St. Peter’s supports LCMS schools and their commitment to teaching the Bible.
Thank you for supporting children in our communities. Our collection of school supplies was a huge success. School Supplies were delivered to Trinity First Lutheran School in the Phillips Neighborhood of Minneapolis. Their values are prayer, relationships, inclusive education, and family involvement.
Your Generosity Journey
There are crucial milestones as you grow in faith: worship; quiet time in the Bible and prayer; small groups; volunteering; and generosity! Yes, giving is part of the way God grows your faith. It is about trusting Him to provide for all your needs - and the joy of entering the journey of supporting others as Jesus demonstrated.
Giving of your energy is a wonderful way to impact others; providing donations of food and other items makes a difference in other’s lives; and top that off with financial generosity and you will see incredible blessings.
There are many ways to give financially. We call it an offering because we are offering ourselves for God’s bigger purposes. What an adventure. We’d like to help you along the way. Check out the options on the website by clicking the button below. And if we can provide assistance or answer questions, but sure to let us know at info@stpetersedina.org.
Together we meet families at the intersection of faith and real life.
