Pack it with gifts and love and a picture of your family and bring it back to St. Peter’s by Sunday, November 13 to be sent to a location around the world and distributed through children’s ministries at churches where they will be invited to learn about Jesus.

REPORT: Successful Blood Drive at St. Peter’s
The Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans, who meets here at St. Peter’s, hosted their 11th blood drive collecting 74 units of blood, 13 more units of blood than the American Red Cross set as a goal for the drive! It was an effort to make sure that veterans at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center and other hospitals have the blood needed to sustain the lives of those who fought for ours. A word of thanks to those in our St. Peter’s family who participated. A side benefit was that the carpet was cleaned while the sanctuary was empty! Blood drives are held at St. Peter’s on the 4th Thursday of January, April, July, & October. Get a head start and sign up to donate in January:
