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. If we can serve you in some way or you’d like to receive a weekly email complete the Digital Connect Card.
Please join us for Caribou Coffee and treats in the Commons right after the service.
Whose Land is It?
It’s the oldest land dispute in history: for centuries, both Jews and Arabs have claimed to the be the rightful owners of the land of Israel. Get answers to the following questions: Who are the Palestinians? What are the so called “1967 Borders” of Israel? Is the West Bank really “occupied territory”? Do the Jews hold the legal right to the land of Israel?
We will watch a video from CBN News that will help you understand the conflict we are facing and the confusion even in our country about the war. Bring some treats into the Discipleship Room just outside the sanctuary. The video will start at 10:40am.
Deadline Monday, Nov. 13
See the joy on her face? Provide a box filled with love to a child with nothing. It is hard to imagine in our homes with whole rooms devoted to toys! But, children around the world have little if anything and often don’t receive a gift at all. Make Christmas, the gift of the Christ Child, come to life for a boy or girl.
Take a box home to fill today. Our Youth Impact Racing students will be delivering the filled boxes on Tuesday night to the collection site where they will be sent around the world. If you are out of time, you can shop online! Here are the details:
Facility Fund
This year, when our ministry plan was passed by the congregation, we decided that we would cover operational expenses and normal maintenance through our offerings, but we would come back with some specific projects as the need arose. We have a few projects that would be great destinations for special year end giving.
1) Nobody notices the heat and A/C unless it isn’t working! When we find ourselves hot, or at this time of year, cold then we pay attention. We are looking to update the controls on our HVAC system so that we are comfortable as we gather.
2) An older building means cracks and flaws will be discovered. We did. In the form of water oozing up between the hallway floor tile. While we are repairing/replacing, we recognize that our early childhood children often come in with snowy boots, which makes for wet slick floors. You can help us install carpet squares to keep everyone dry and safe.
3) One of the hidden gems of our building is our full-sized gymnasium. Unfortunately, there were some leakage issues through the years. These have been corrected when the alley was repaved. But both the walls and the floors are looking a little worse for wear. We are investigating options to spruce up the gym that is used frequently by our community and congregation.
Loving Everyone in Your Neighborhood
Our mission is to use live theatre to provide performing and vocational opportunities for people with disabilities.
We will model and create a more inclusive world for people with disabilities - creating opportunities in every area of our organization to show the world what people with disabilities can do, and allowing them to truly be seen and be genuinely included.
Prayer for Our Neighbors
Update: Auditions were successful and the first cooking class created some delicious monster cookies! Now on to Shrek practices and the next daytime activities.
Here at St. Peter’s we are starting ministry partnerships to serve those living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are inviting the Unlabeled Theatre Company to provide performing and vocational opportunities for people with disabilities. We need your prayer and invite you to pray for the efforts and the families the Spirit has prepared for us to reach in prayer. Below is a prayer card that you can download. Even to pray 1-2 minutes would proclaim to the Lord that we are ready to care for those who are “Precious in His Sight”.
