Welcome!
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness." Psalm 29:2
When we ascribe glory to God, we aren't giving Him something He lacks. We are recognizing what is already true about Him. Even when we fail to keep Him first, God is patient, shows mercy, and draws us close enough to see His splendor.
So glad you have joined us. Please take a moment to connect:
Weekly Prayer Project
We are in week 45 in our year-long prayer guides. Remember, all the messages in this series are available on the St. Peter’s YouTube Channel.

Watch/listen to the current or previous messages on your own at a convenient time. Perfect for a walk or listening during a long commute. Start or end the day with a little reflection and prayer. Return and rest!
Godly Homes…
where our awesome God is revered.
“Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!” – 1 Chronicles 16:9
Many people think worship only happens in church, but we can also worship God right at home. Worship is about showing love and respect to God through prayer, singing, and reading the Bible. It’s important to create a special space in your home where you can connect with Him and grow in your faith.
St. Peter’s is praying for our family of faith because your home is located at the intersection of faith & real life.
Christmas Poinsettias
St. Peter’s Raise the Roof Christmas Poinsettia Sale. We will have poinsettias that can beautiful our sanctuary AND you can give as a hostess gifts. Bachman’s is known for quality plants.
Raise the Roof contributions continue faithfully a year into our campaign to pay off our facility improvement loan for the roof replacement. It is time to add some fun back into the effort!
Order forms are now available. You can pick up our items on a selected Sunday or after the service on Christmas Eve with the confidence that a portion of your purchase has enabled people to gather to worship the Christ Child with a dry roof overhead!
Experience the joy of Jesus through packing shoeboxes
Go shopping, searching for practical and fun items that will bless a child who has next to nothing. Pick up a box today and pack it with school supplies, toys, dolls, clothing, and other items to fill every nook and cranny of the box.
“If this box is representing Jesus’ love for them, then we want to make sure that it’s quality so that they realize that God really loves them,” said one box packer. Get in on the joy!
Bring your box back to St. Peter’s by Sunday, November 22.

Church & School Staff
It is open enrollment season in the health care world. A perfect opportunity to let the St. Peter’s family know how much we appreciate the support and care you provide through your generosity. Our workers in the church and ECEC receive health care through the Concordia Plans, the benefit department of the LCMS. Some workers opt out because they receive health care through a spouse or family.
We want you to know that we don’t take this benefit for granted. Our plans offer preventive health care, vision, dental, and even provide for mental health. Young and old, healthy and sick, we are cared for generously. Thank you for enabling us to serve as workers in the Kingdom sharing the hope of Jesus with our community!
Bear Fruit…
God’s forgiven people who have discovered God’s mercy and grace share that joy with others. You do that face to face with people you know, but you are also invited to share the Gospel by supporting our community ministries.

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