Greeting & Announcements
Your life is a story!
If you would write an autobiography, what would be included in each chapter? Jesus knows your story and shows up in many places along your life journey. He also enters into the stories of everyone around you.
Ready to join Jesus on His mission?
God’s Story: The Apostles Creed
All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate. Was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Great Commission
Pastor: Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He commissioned them: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
All: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
Pastor: Christ is calling you as disciples
All: Lord Jesus, I want to follow You faithfully.
Pastor: You will be challenged to enter into the life stories of others.
All: Lord Jesus, where you lead us, we will go.
Pastor: Listen for Christ’s call.
All: We are ready to serve the Lord.
Pastor: Jesus invites us to Join Him on His mission.
All: We will go and tell the world about Him.
The Commission
See my hands look at my feet
It’s okay if it’s hard to believe
I have faith you will do greater things
It’s my time to go but before I leave
Go tell the world about me
I was dead but now I live
I’ve gotta go now for a little while
But goodbye is not the end
Don’t forget the things that I taught you
I conquered death and I hold the keys
Where I go you will go too someday
But there’s much to do here before you leave
Go tell the world about me
I was dead but now I live
I’ve gotta go now for a little while
But goodbye is not the end
End of the journey the end of the road
My spirit is with you wherever you go
You have a purpose and I have a plan
I’ll make you this promise
I’ll come back again but until then
Go tell the world about me
For I was dead but now I live
I’ve gotta go now for a little while
But goodbye is not the end
Go tell the world about me
For I was dead but now I live
I’ve gotta go now for a little while
But goodbye is not the end
Scripture Reading
Matthew 9:35-38 (NIV) - Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
STP KIDS Dismissal
STP KIDS is the Children’s Ministry at St. Peter’s Edina, designed for all children from 6 months to 10 years old (Grade 5). Older children are welcome to participate as helpers. Our vision is to partner with parents in raising up a generation of children that will seek their God-given Kingdom mission and impact their world for Jesus!
Message

Prayer
If you are in need of prayer, we would love the opportunity to pray with you! You can post a prayer on our online prayer wall, or submit a private prayer to our prayer team.
The Lord’s Prayer
All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Blessing
