Announcements (6-29-25)
Long, Long Ago… in 2000
Pastor Mark Shockey accepted our call to become the Pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church & School. Together with Joann and three young daughters. Over the years we have journeyed together through several highs and lows as a congregation, witnessing God’s blessings through it all.
Celebrating Life Together
Our service this morning has been coordinated by our worship team and leaders. Pastor Mark will sit back and enjoy just being a worshiper!
We welcome Pastor Peter Meier as our preacher today. Peter preached for Pastor Mark’s Installation in 2000! Peter served as pastor of Zion Mayer, and the Mission Executive for the Minnesota South District and the Mission Executive in the Florida Georgia District. They began their partnership in sharing the gospel when they were both participating in the Pastoral Leadership Institute.
If you are attending our in-person service, be sure to stop at the Welcome Center after worship to get a gift bag filled with appreciation for you being here. Please take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and share it with the smiling person behind the Welcome Center so we can welcome you with a gift.
If you are connecting online, fill out a Digital Connect Card so we know you were with us and can provide answers to any questions you may have. Please worship with us again soon.
Wrap Up Proverbs

Join the STP KIDS Team!
Wisdom is imparted at St. Peter’s week after week after week after week. Kids absorb Biblical wisdom. Yes, it is taught - but it is more effectively caught! That is where you come in. When kids see faith lived out in others, they have examples. That is the STP KIDS learning model! You have seen the excitement as our STP KIDS head out every week for an active time of learning.
With Summer upon us, we want to invite you to an exciting serving opportunity with STP KIDS. We love welcoming parents to experience God’s love alongside their kids while volunteering with our ministry! Come e a part of your child’s spiritual journey today and have a ton of fun doing it. You don’t need to be a parent either. Just think what happens when you give the gift of 20 minutes of adult quiet to worn out parents. If it is a total mess
The process is simple. Everything you need is provided. The theme (same as our Sunday worship theme); the Bible verse; a Bible story (read or watched - think Hey-O); some activities (supplies are ready in the room); some active fun (kids have an abundance of energy); even a repeat prayer. You simply show up and pull it all together with a smile on your face. What a great investment of 20 minutes. You can help once a month (or more or less). Ready to learn more? Just follow the kids out on a Sunday morning and watch what happens. Ms Jenna helps the most - just ask her about what it is like.
STP KIDS has older kids built in who help with the little kids. You can also team up with another adult. One volunteer even watches the video message on Saturday night so she feels confident about the theme. Go ahead, there is nothing like sharing your faith to put a skip in your step.
Ministry Support
We encourage you to join us in the excitement of generous giving to see what God is doing in our community and around the world.

Together we meet families at the intersection of faith and real life.
