A discussion with a stranger? Share the story. When you do, your Christian friends will be motivated and ready to watch for what Jesus is doing in their lives too. He is up to something right now!!!

      <image:caption>Ask any person what it means to be a Christian, and you will hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms?  You are welcome to participate in a discussion with a small group of men every Friday from 7:30-8:30am. Fresh coffee and donuts served! We meet in the Discipleship Room at St. Peter’s. Why wait for a “better” time? Come join in now. Just an hour in exchange for a deeper faith and a little joy! In this six-session series, we will be led on an exploration of key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship and our relationship with Him. No class this week to observe Good Friday</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (3-29-26) - S.A.G.E.S Older Adults Gathering</image:title>
      <image:caption>Young or old, there are three questions everyone struggles to answer: ▶ Who am I? ▶ What do I have of value to offer others? ▶ What is my purpose in this world? Young people struggle to answer those questions. If they answer them well, they generally have a confident, fulfilling life. If they do not, they usually struggle. They may have “success” by many measures, but they do not have a deep sense of confidence, peace and joy. Interestingly, as we age, these same questions once again press in on us. How we answer them in our later years is just as important to our well-being as in our younger years. The key for all of us, young and old, is to answer the questions not with what we think or what the world pushes, or what other people say, but with the answers our heavenly Father gives us. You are invited to attend the SAGES Gathering, to be held May 4–5 at Country Inn and Suites in Mankato (1900 Premier Drive). Pastor Greg Finke will present “Living on Purpose with Jesus” and help us unpack the good news about the answers our heavenly Father gives us so we can continue living purposeful, fruitful and fulfilling lives each day. SAGES (Saints Alive, Growing, Ever Serving) is the older-adult ministry of the Minnesota South District. In addition, there will be workshops, a banquet, music, vendors and fellowship.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Each year, VEAP joins the statewide effort to help restock more than 300 food shelves across Minnesota. St. Peter’s was one of 7 churches that helped found VEAP (Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People) decades ago - and we are honored to partner as a faith community in 2026. More than 596,000 Minnesotans are struggling with hunger, and nearly 1/3 are children. Grocery prices remain high, SNAP benefits have been reduced. And for many families who recently lost income, catching up feels impossible. That’s why this moment is so important. You are always welcome to drop off food in the box outside the office - or leverage MN Food Share and provide pounds of food for every dollar. You may donate directly at veap.org, include a gift in your offering, or use the button below to make an immediate gift.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Too often sin is seen as an external problem “out there” that needs to be dealt with, not as an internal problem within us; and while it is important not to indulge in self-pity, it is important to engage in true confession. We are in the church season known as Lent. It is time for reflection, for confession, for prayer as we journey to the cross. Visit the website for a recorded message each Wednesday to help you discover Christ’s forgiveness provided upon the cross. Fill out a Digital Connect Card or a Connect Card at the Welcome Center to make sure we have your email so you receive each message in your inbox.</image:caption>

For $5 you can purchase a ceiling tile (we need almost 400!) to replace all the ugly, unsightly, water stained tiles right as you walk in the building. Sign the back of the tile and you will be famous for the next generation. All $5 will immediately pay down the roof replacement loan balance.</image:caption>

What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms?  You are welcome to participate in a discussion with a small group of men every Friday from 7:30-8:30am. Fresh coffee and donuts served! We meet in the Discipleship Room at St. Peter’s. Why wait for a “better” time? Come join in now. Just an hour in exchange for a deeper faith and a little joy!

      <image:caption>Young or old, there are three questions everyone struggles to answer: ▶ Who am I? ▶ What do I have of value to offer others? ▶ What is my purpose in this world? Young people struggle to answer those questions. If they answer them well, they generally have a confident, fulfilling life. If they do not, they usually struggle. They may have “success” by many measures, but they do not have a deep sense of confidence, peace and joy. Interestingly, as we age, these same questions once again press in on us. How we answer them in our later years is just as important to our well-being as in our younger years. The key for all of us, young and old, is to answer the questions not with what we think or what the world pushes, or what other people say, but with the answers our heavenly Father gives us. You are invited to attend the SAGES Gathering, to be held May 4–5 at Country Inn and Suites in Mankato (1900 Premier Drive). Pastor Greg Finke will present “Living on Purpose with Jesus” and help us unpack the good news about the answers our heavenly Father gives us so we can continue living purposeful, fruitful and fulfilling lives each day. SAGES (Saints Alive, Growing, Ever Serving) is the older-adult ministry of the Minnesota South District.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (3-8-26) - S.A.G.E.S Older Adults Gathering</image:title>
      <image:caption>Young or old, there are three questions everyone struggles to answer: ▶ Who am I? ▶ What do I have of value to offer others? ▶ What is my purpose in this world? Young people struggle to answer those questions. If they answer them well, they generally have a confident, fulfilling life. If they do not, they usually struggle. They may have “success” by many measures, but they do not have a deep sense of confidence, peace and joy. Interestingly, as we age, these same questions once again press in on us. How we answer them in our later years is just as important to our well-being as in our younger years. The key for all of us, young and old, is to answer the questions not with what we think or what the world pushes, or what other people say, but with the answers our heavenly Father gives us. You are invited to attend the SAGES Gathering, to be held May 4–5 at Country Inn and Suites in Mankato (1900 Premier Drive). Pastor Greg Finke will present “Living on Purpose with Jesus” and help us unpack the good news about the answers our heavenly Father gives us so we can continue living purposeful, fruitful and fulfilling lives each day. SAGES (Saints Alive, Growing, Ever Serving) is the older-adult ministry of the Minnesota South District. In addition, there will be workshops, a banquet, music, vendors and fellowship.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We can be people who are overflowing with gratitude even when life isn’t easy. When you pray, thank God for giving you everything you need and everything that matters. Week 8: Be Thankful This year, we are following "The Weekly Prayer Project" - a challenge to journal, pray, reflect and connect with God. Discover what God is doing in your life through a Scriptural promise each week. Be sure to pick up a book at the Welcome Center or request one at prayer@stpetersedina.org. Stop at the Welcome Center after worship to also get a gift bag filled with appreciation for you being here (and information about St. Peter’s.) Take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at the Welcome Center so we can welcome you with a gift or 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Too often sin is seen as an external problem “out there” that needs to be dealt with, not as an internal problem within us; and while it is important not to indulge in self-pity, it is important to engage in true confession. We are in the church season known as Lent. It is time for reflection, for confession, for prayer as we journey to the cross. Watch for a recorded message each Wednesday to help you discover Christ’s forgiveness provided upon the cross. Fill out a Digital Connect Card or a Connect Card at the Welcome Center to make sure we have your email so you receive each message.</image:caption>

We will have discussion and encouragement in your prayer life around a video teaching by Michael DeFazio, professor New Testament theology at Ozark Christian College. We will explore how to pray, what to pray, answer questions about prayer, and engage in many other topics surrounding prayer, in order to expand your knowledge of communicating with our Father. Grab some coffee and a treat and join us after worship in the Discipleship Room just to the right as you leave the sanctuary. All are welcome.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2026 we are launching into "The Weekly Prayer Project" - a challenge to journal, pray, reflect and connect with God. Discover what God is doing in your life through a Scriptural promise each week. He hears, He notices, He listens, He answers. Week 5: HAVE MERCY If you are attending our in-person service, be sure to pick up a book at the Welcome Center or request one at prayer@stpetersedina.org. Stop at the Welcome Center after worship to also get a gift bag filled with appreciation for you being here (and information about St. Peter’s.) Take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at 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.</image:caption>

We will have discussion and encouragement in your prayer life around a video teaching by Michael DeFazio, professor New Testament theology at Ozark Christian College. We will explore how to pray, what to pray, answer questions about prayer, and engage in many other topics surrounding prayer, in order to expand your knowledge of communicating with our Father. Grab some coffee and a treat and join us after worship in the Discipleship Room just to the right as you leave the sanctuary. All are welcome. We will wrap up by 11:45pm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (2-1-26) - Drama with a Purpose</image:title>
      <image:caption>What a terrific run! All shows were sold out. Auditions for “Once Upon a Mattress” were this past week. Several reviews were recently published about “Something Rotten.” Click on the button below and scroll down to “Recent Media” to see what the community is saying about Unlabeled. Unfortunately, the financial climate has resulted in a slowing of grants. This makes operating a non-profit a challenge. I know that one of the challenges for the performances is microphones. Rentals are in the thousands for each show. If Unlabeled could purchase and wouldn’t need to rent, the savings would be significant for the performances each year. If you are moved to support their efforts to allow these young adults with disability shine, check out the donation section of the website or talk to anyone in the Moquist family.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We have had a great response to our campaign to pay down our Church Improvement Loan taken out to replace our roof. The loan was for $150,000 and all gifts will pay down the loan principal. Please make a pledge for campaign to be contributed in 2026 and 2027. You can make a recurring gift weekly, monthly, or annually. Many have chosen to set up automatic donations online. Would you help us reach our ministry goal? Bring back your pledge card and place it in the offering basket - or send your commitment to info@stpetersedina.org. Pledge Cards are available near the offering basket or at the Welcome Center. The beautiful sanctuary and functional school building has served generations and with a new roof we know that more will enjoy worship and Christian education for a long time.</image:caption>

We have 2 more available at the Welcome Desk. Since 1957 the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church roofline has been identifiable in our community. We want to provide an opportunity to take home a celebration of the roof being replaced this past summer so the next generation can gather to worship and learn. It will also help us move toward our goal of paying off the Church Improvement Loan needed for the roof replacement. It is a reminder of God’s faithfulness! The goal of our “Raise the Roof” campaign is to pay off our debt of $150,000 by the end of 2027. If you would like an ornament/display, the suggested donation is $100. It was custom designed by Alex Wheeler. It has a light and can be hung or remove the string and place it on a desktop year-round. The battery is replaceable.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (1-4-26) - The Weekly Prayer Project</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are launching into "The Weekly Prayer Project" - a challenge to journal, pray, reflect and connect with God. The first week sets it up to remind us that prayer is a gift (not a work). Discover what God is doing in your life through a Scriptural promise each week. Week 1: Ask Confidently. 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 (and information about St. Peter’s.) Take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at 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.</image:caption>

Did someone ask you a faith question? Did you have an opportunity to show love to a neighbor or a friend? It can be something huge or something very small. A random act of kindness that you were prompted to do? A discussion with a stranger? Share your story. When you do, your Christian friends will be motivated and ready to watch for what Jesus is doing in their lives too. There are two ways to share your story: Stop in the Joining Jesus on His Mission discussion at 10:45am Sunday in the Discipleship Room (just to the right as you leave the sanctuary). Come hear what Jesus was up to in the lives of those in our neighborhoods and families over the holidays. We spend time encouraging each other with stories. We watch a brief video to hear examples. Use the online form by clicking the button below. You and the person you have in mind can be anonymous. We would love to hear about it!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>More ornaments are now available. Since 1957 the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church roofline has been identifiable in our community. We want to provide an opportunity to take home a celebration of the roof being replaced this past summer so the next generation can gather to worship and learn. It will also help us move toward our goal of paying off the Church Improvement Loan needed for the roof replacement. The goal of our “Raise the Roof” campaign is to pay off our debt of $150,000 by the end of 2027. If you would like an ornament, the suggested donation is $100. The ornament was custom designed by Alex Wheeler. It has a light and can be hung or remove the string and place it on a desktop year-round. The battery is replaceable. Thank you for supporting our campaign.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We have had a great response to our campaign to pay down our Church Improvement Loan taken out to replace our roof. The loan was for $150,000 and all gifts will pay down the loan principal. Please make a pledge to be contributed in 2026 and 2027. You can make a recurring gift weekly, monthly, or annually. Many have chosen to set up automatic donations online. Would you help us reach our ministry goal? Bring back your pledge card in the New Year and place it in the offering basket - or send your commitment to info@stpetersedina.org. Pledge Cards are available at the Welcome Center. The beautiful sanctuary and functional school building has served generations and with a new roof we know that more will enjoy worship and Christian education for a long time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Earlier in December, the Board of Directors invited the St. Peter’s family to join us on a “Raise the Roof” campaign to repay our Church Improvement Loan that we secured to replace the 30-year-old roof on our church &amp; school building. The work is complete - no more drips. But now we have payments to make. The beautiful sanctuary and functional school building has served generations and with a new roof we know that more will enjoy worship and Christian education for a long time. We are asking for commitments to be brought back next Sunday. A challenge was set of $50,000 in gifts in December and the remainder of the $150,000 loan pledged over the next two years. Would you help us with our ministry goal? Bring back your pledge card to help our planning. On December 28 we will celebrate “A Gift that Lasts.” Additional Pledge Cards are available at the Welcome Center. “For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100:5</image:caption>

Perhaps Christmas can be a fresh start for you and the impact you can have on others in your home and beyond. The messages through December will help you weave Jesus’ discipleship process into the rhythm of your family’s everyday life in very practical ways. How to live the fulfilling life of a Jesus-follower as a child, parent, grandparent, foster parent, family member, volunteer, mentor, friend. 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 (and information about St. Peter’s.) Take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at 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.

      <image:caption>Join us on Christmas Eve, December 24 at 4:00pm, for Jesus, Prince of Peace—a hope-filled and welcoming service for the whole family. While our children enjoy a special journey to Bethlehem led by Pax the donkey, complete with costumes, a storybook, and a keepsake ornament, the service as a whole invites us to pause and reflect on the peace Christ brings into our lives and our world. Come share in Scripture, music, and the wonder of the Christmas story as we celebrate God’s gift of peace together. Bring your loved ones and experience Christmas Eve in a joyful, memorable way. We hope to see you there! Remember, more people are open to an invitation to church at Christmas than any other time!!!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (12-21-25) - St. Peter’s Ornaments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 1957 the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church roofline has been identifiable in our community. This Christmas, we want to provide an opportunity to take home some Christmas joy in celebration of the roof being replaced this past summer so the next generation can gather to worship and learn. It will also help us move toward our goal of paying off the Church Improvement Loan needed for the roof replacement. The goal of our “Raise the Roof” campaign is to pay off our debt of $150,000 by December 31, 2027. If you would like to take an ornament home today, the suggested donation is $100. We are grateful for our artist, Alex Wheeler, who designed and printed them on his 3D printer! The ornaments have a light in them and can be hung from your tree or remove the string and place it on a desktop year-round. Batteries are replaceable. Thank you for supporting our campaign.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (12-21-25) - Please bring your Pledge Card next Sunday</image:title>
      <image:caption>Earlier in December, the Board of Directors invited the St. Peter’s family to join us on a “Raise the Roof” campaign to repay our Church Improvement Loan that we secured to replace the 30-year-old roof on our church &amp; school building. The work is complete - no more drips. But now we have payments to make. The beautiful sanctuary and functional school building has served generations and with a new roof we know that more will enjoy worship and Christian education for a long time. We are asking for commitments to be brought back next Sunday. A challenge was set of $50,000 in gifts in December and the remainder of the $150,000 loan pledged over the next two years. Would you help us with our ministry goal? Bring back your pledge card next Sunday, December 28 when we will celebrate “A Gift that Lasts” in the service. Additional Pledge Cards are available at the Welcome Center. “For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100:5</image:caption>

We will go through Pastor Greg &amp; Susan Finke’s book, so be sure to pick up a copy on the Welcome center and bring the book with you. We will view a video by the authors each week to kick off our discussion. What makes this so powerful is that when we notice Jesus is at work around us, we have a story. And that story encourages and will help others in the class not only celebrate with you but be better prepared to see what Jesus is doing themselves. How empowering is that? Know this: Jesus is busy getting the attention of those in your “neighborhoods.” So, are you ready to be an everyday missionary? It is much, much easier than you think. St. Peter’s is investing in you as a missionary. Pick up a copy free of charge today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (12-7-25) - Joining Jesus as a Family</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our Joining Jesus series will run through the Holidays with “Joining Jesus as a Family.” God has blessed His creation through families. We all have one. Some great memories - some not so great. But God continues to bless us through families. Christian parents want to raise their children to be life-long followers of Jesus. But many parents watch their children grow up, leave home, and then walk away from the faith. What went wrong? And how can a new generation of parents avoid the same result? The messages through November and December will help you weave Jesus’ discipleship process into the rhythm of your family’s everyday life in very practical ways. How to live the fulfilling life of a Jesus-follower as a parent, grandparent, foster parent, family member, volunteer, mentor, friend. 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 (and information about St. Peter’s.) Take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There is a small group of St. Peter’s members who have been serving our Edina community by delivering meals through the Crosstown Meals on Wheels organization. We could use some more drivers to pick up meals at Normandale Lutheran Church at 10:45 AM and deliver them to Edina locations on the 4th Monday of each month. The routes generally take less than 2 hours to complete, so it’s not a huge time commitment. If you’d like to join us in performing this vital community service, please call or text Rich Licht at 612-804-7108 or e-mail to rjlicht@msn.com.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You are welcome to join us for a discussion of the Joining Jesus on His Mission book on Sunday mornings at 10:45am in the Discipleship Room. We will go through Pastor Greg &amp; Susan Finke’s book, so be sure to pick up a copy on the Welcome center and bring the book with you. We will view a video by the authors each week to kick off our discussion. What makes this so powerful is that when we notice Jesus is at work around us, we have a story. And that story encourages and will help others in the class not only celebrate with you but be better prepared to see what Jesus is doing themselves. How empowering is that? Know this: Jesus is busy getting the attention of those in your “neighborhoods.” So, are you ready to be an everyday missionary? It is much, much easier than you think. St. Peter’s is investing in you as a missionary. Pick up a copy free of charge today.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The next part of our “Joining Jesus” series will run through the Holidays. It is called “Joining Jesus as a Family.” God has blessed His creation through families. We all have one. Some great memories - some not so great. But God continues to bless us through families. Christian parents want to raise their children to be life-long followers of Jesus. But many parents watch their children grow up, leave home, and then walk away from the faith. What went wrong? And how can a new generation of parents avoid the same result? The messages through November and December will help you weave Jesus’ discipleship process into the rhythm of your family’s everyday life in very practical ways. How to live the fulfilling life of a Jesus-follower as a parent, grandparent, foster parent, family member, volunteer, mentor, friend. 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 (and information).

      <image:caption>You are welcome to join us for a discussion of the Joining Jesus on His Mission book on Sunday mornings at 10:45am in the Discipleship Room. We will go through Pastor Greg &amp; Susan Finke’s book, so be sure to pick up a copy on the Welcome center and bring the book with you. We will view a video by the authors each week to kick off our discussion. What makes this so powerful is that when we notice Jesus is at work around us, we have a story. And that story encourages and will help others in the class not only celebrate with you but be better prepared to see what Jesus is doing themselves. How empowering is that? Know this: Jesus is busy getting the attention of those in your “neighborhoods.” So, are you ready to be an everyday missionary? It is much, much easier than you think. St. Peter’s is investing in you as a missionary. Pick up a copy free of charge today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (11-2-25) - Joining Jesus as a Family</image:title>
      <image:caption>The next part of our “Joining Jesus” series begins next Sunday, November 9, and will run through the Holidays. It is called “Joining Jesus as a Family.” God has blessed His creation through families. We all have one. Some great memories - some not so great. But God continues to bless us through families. Christian parents want to raise their children to be life-long followers of Jesus. But many parents watch their children grow up, leave home, and then walk away from the faith. What went wrong? And how can a new generation of parents avoid the same result? The messages through November and December will help you weave Jesus’ discipleship process into the rhythm of your family’s everyday life in very practical ways. How to live the fulfilling life of a Jesus-follower as a parent, grandparent, foster parent, family member, volunteer, mentor, friend.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (10-12-25) - Joining Jesus on His Mission</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jesus invites you on His mission. You might have a picture in your mind of what a missionary does. Maybe it is time to push aside the thought that a missionary is a person who is sent to country far, far away and realize we are invited by Jesus to join Him as neighborhood missionaries. And Jesus is already at work there - and invites you to join Him. Does that sound a little more doable? In these next weeks, we want to alter the way you see your life as a follower of Jesus. It is time to join Jesus! 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 (and information). Please take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You are welcome to join us for a discussion of the Joining Jesus on His Mission book on Sunday mornings at 10:45am in the Discipleship Room. We will go chapter by chapter through Pastor Greg &amp; Susan Finke’s book, so be sure to pick up a copy on the Welcome center and bring the book with you. THIS MORNING WE START A VIDEO PRODUCED BY THE AUTHOR. What makes this so powerful is that when we notice Jesus is at work around us, we have a story. And that story encourages and will help others in the class not only celebrate with you but be better prepared to see what Jesus is doing themselves. How empowering is that? Know this: Jesus is busy getting the attention of those in your “neighborhoods.” So, are you ready to be an everyday missionary? It is much, much easier than you think. St. Peter’s is investing in you as a missionary. Pick up a copy free of charge today.</image:caption>

Would you commit to providing treats one of the remaining weeks of 2025? Bring something for about 40 people including children. Treats can be home baked, store bought, or grown on a tree or vine. Sweet. Healthy. Be creative - do your own thing. Surprise us! Sign up today on the clipboard beside the coffee.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (10-5-25) - Heartbroken over recent killings?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The world has come face to face with evil - and it is leaving people all around us heartbroken. Maybe your heart aches too? We have witnessed the impact of the Annunciation shooting on our community as they returned to school this week - and as Charlie Kirk memorials continue this weekend, his statements of faith in Christ have been shared far and wide. Faith-based institutions face rising threats as division and disinformation fuel violence. Content is specifically intended to inflame (and get clicks) by exploiting some of the most divisive issues facing our country. What can you do? Be aware of where you get information. It seems all the shootings in recent years have a common denominator of web-based propaganda. Remember, when we come face to face with evil, we stand on the side of God’s goodness and power. When we speak God’s truth, we will make some uncomfortable. Pray for peace and assurance for you, our families, and our neighbors. What is St. Peter’s doing? At the last St. Peter’s Board of Directors meeting, our leaders began reviewing our church emergency preparedness. We continue to operate at St. Peter’s with a soft-lockdown. That means that when ECEC children are present our doors are locked. We do the same when there are groups in the gymnasium and during the Unlabeled Theatre group activites. Unique codes are provided to families as well as church members for access to the building, or you can use the intercom/camera system. If you would like to be part of the emergency preparedness team, please let our congregational president know: president@stpetersedina.org Join us in asking God for protection We ask you to join us in ongoing prayer for God’s protection over our church and school, and that He would comfort and uphold our brothers and sisters at Annunciation Church and School during this tragic time for their community. And pray for the many, many young people on college campuses and online who were impacted by Charlie Kirk’s message - as well as those who felt uncomfortable by the message he shared. Even in the midst of a difficult tragedy, we live assured that we are fully and unconditionally loved by the God who gave His Son for us. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 (NIV)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-28-25) - Joining Jesus on His Mission</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jesus invites you on His mission. You might have a picture in your mind of what a missionary does. Maybe it is time to push aside the thought that a missionary is a person who is sent to country far, far away and realize we are invited by Jesus to join Him as neighborhood missionaries. And Jesus is already at work there - and invites you to join Him. Does that sound a little more doable? In these next weeks, we want to alter the way you see your life as a follower of Jesus. It is time to join Jesus! 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 (and information). Please take a minute to complete a Connect Card in the seat back and leave it at 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.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-28-25) - MIssion Study begins next Sunday, October 5</image:title>
      <image:caption>You are welcome to join us for a discussion of the Joining Jesus on His Mission book on Sunday mornings at 10:45am in the Discipleship Room. We will go chapter by chapter through Pastor Greg &amp; Susan Finke’s book, so be sure to pick up a copy on the Welcome center and read the first couple chapters. Bring the book with you to class. What makes this so powerful is that when we notice Jesus is at work around us, we have a story. And that story encourages and will help others in the class not only celebrate with you but be better prepared to see what Jesus is doing themselves. How empowering is that? Know this: Jesus is busy getting the attention of those in your “neighborhoods.” So, are you ready to be an everyday missionary? It is much, much easier than you think. St. Peter’s is investing in you as a missionary. Pick up a copy free of charge today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-28-25) - Heartbroken over recent killings?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The world has come face to face with evil - and it is leaving people all around us heartbroken. Maybe your heart aches too? We have witnessed the impact of the Annunciation shooting on our community as they returned to school this week - and as Charlie Kirk memorials continue this weekend, his statements of faith in Christ have been shared far and wide. Faith-based institutions face rising threats as division and disinformation fuel violence. Content is specifically intended to inflame (and get clicks) by exploiting some of the most divisive issues facing our country. What can you do? Be aware of where you get information. It seems all the shootings in recent years have a common denominator of web-based propaganda. Remember, when we come face to face with evil, we stand on the side of God’s goodness and power. When we speak God’s truth, we will make some uncomfortable. Pray for peace and assurance for you, our families, and our neighbors. What is St. Peter’s doing? At the last St. Peter’s Board of Directors meeting, our leaders began reviewing our church emergency preparedness. We continue to operate at St. Peter’s with a soft-lockdown. That means that when ECEC children are present our doors are locked. We do the same when there are groups in the gymnasium and during the Unlabeled Theatre group activites. Unique codes are provided to families as well as church members for access to the building, or you can use the intercom/camera system. If you would like to be part of the emergency preparedness team, please let our congregational president know: president@stpetersedina.org Join us in asking God for protection We ask you to join us in ongoing prayer for God’s protection over our church and school, and that He would comfort and uphold our brothers and sisters at Annunciation Church and School during this tragic time for their community. And pray for the many, many young people on college campuses and online who were impacted by Charlie Kirk’s message - as well as those who felt uncomfortable by the message he shared. Even in the midst of a difficult tragedy, we live assured that we are fully and unconditionally loved by the God who gave His Son for us. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 (NIV)</image:caption>

We will also continue to evaluate and strengthen our safety and security protocols moving forward. We ask you to join us in ongoing prayer for God’s protection over our school, and that He would comfort and uphold our brothers and sisters at Annunciation Church and School during this tragic time for their community. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16. Even in the midst of a difficult tragedy, we live assured that we are fully and unconditionally loved by the God who gave His Son for us. The picture is of the front of Annunciation’s entrance.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (8-31-25) - Ready to Hear a Story?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This week, we wrap up a summer series of messages titled “Seeing Yourself in the Story.” What story? There are many stories going on. But the best one is the one that God has plopped you right in the midst of. The story of how He is writing new chapters as you live each day. We have listened to a parable each week as Jesus invites you to see yourself in the story. This week, we are reminded that the story is to be continued! 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.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (8-31-25) - Heartbroken Over School Shooting</image:title>
      <image:caption>Please join us in praying for all victims, their families, faculty, staff, and parish members—especially in the days ahead. When a tragedy like this occurs in a faith-based school in our city, it is natural for us as parents to feel fearful and anxious for the safety of our own children. We continue to operate here at St. Peter’s with a soft-lockdown as a daily protocol. That just means that M-F from 8-5, when children are present, our doors are locked. Codes are provided to ECEC families and to church members for access to the building, or you can use the intercom/camera system. Similar to Annunciation, Wednesdays in our center begin with chapel time. That was where we were when we received news and immediately moved our children to safety. We also did not go out to the playground on Wednesday as a precaution. The Edina Police Department immediately reached out to offer assistance and assurance. We will also continue to evaluate and strengthen our safety and security protocols moving forward. We ask you to join us in ongoing prayer for God’s protection over our school, and that He would comfort and uphold our brothers and sisters at Annunciation Church and School during this tragic time for their community. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16. Even in the midst of a difficult tragedy, we live assured that we are fully and unconditionally loved by the God who gave His Son for us. We’ve attached a comforting message from our LCMS District President.</image:caption>

Do you see yourself in the story / His story / their story / your story? Enter the story! When you see the exciting adventures God is writing in the book of your life, you will start seeing yourself in the stories of others and the way God is at work in their lives too! Welcome to adventure of life stories - and seeing yourself in the story. The diagram summarizes St. Peter’s ministry plan. There are people all around us and God is at work in each and every life.

That inspires each of us to immediately go and participate in the lives of others. Then we come back with more stories and the cycle repeats itself over and over. See yourself in the story!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (7-27-25) - Ready to Hear a Story?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Last week, Pastor Mark launched a new series of messages titled “Seeing Yourself in the Story.” What story? There are many stories going on. But the best one is the one that God has plopped you right in the midst of. The story of how He is writing new chapters as you live each day. When you see the exciting adventures God is writing in the book of your life, you will also want to hear the stories of others and the way God is at work in their lives too. Welcome to adventure of life stories - and seeing yourself in the story. 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jesus is involved in the story of your life! He is at work in the lives of the people around you. It is fascinating to look at life as a story. “In the beginning…” “Once upon a time…” You know how stories begin. What about the chapters in the middle? Adventures, events, ups, downs, challenges, opportunities, victories. Do you see yourself in the story / His story / their story / your story? Enter the story! The diagram is what the St. Peter’s ministry plan is all about. See the people on the top? There are people all around us and God is at work in each and every life. Walk beside them. Then as a church we come together to tell what we see God up to - we tell each other stories of what Jesus is doing. That inspires each of us to immediately go and participate in the lives of others. Then we come back with more stories and the cycle repeats itself over and over. See yourself in the story! It changes everything.</image:caption>

I enjoyed a day off to sit with my family and hear a message from Pastor Peter Meier who also preached at my installation at St. Peter’s 25 years ago. The brunch was delicious, the fellowship great, the pictures of years provided a great record of smiles and God’s goodness, and the gift you provided was a tremendous outpouring of love.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (7-13-25) - Join the STP KIDS Team!</image:title>
      <image:caption>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. This summer 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 be a part of a 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Last Sunday, we celebrated. I enjoyed a day off to sit with my family and hear a message from Pastor Peter who preached at my installation at St. Peter’s 25 years ago. The brunch was delicious, the fellowship great, the pictures of years provided a great record of smiles and God’s goodness, and the gift you provided was a tremendous outpouring of love. Thank you all for your gifts and greetings — and your stories of what God has done among us over the last quarter century. Pastor Mark</image:caption>

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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wisdom isn’t just the accumulation of knowledge; it’s the application of that knowledge in your everyday decisions. In Proverbs, we are shown time and time again that wisdom brings us closer to God’s will. So it seems it comes down to this... would you rather be a fool or wise? 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>St. Peter’s showed appreciation for our teachers in the month of May. So many of you provided $10 gift cards for our teachers. We were able to provide something special each day. Monday was a gift pack with “Serving With a Heart Like Jesus” including a devotion book, seed packet, and a cross; Tuesday was ice cream and target gift cards for every teacher; Wednesday was a parent appreciation luncheon; Thursday was gift card drawing day with the teachers who have been here the longest getting to select first; finally, Friday was a pizza party and prayer day for the teachers. Thank you for showing love for our teachers who share Jesus with children and families every day. Your encouragement makes a difference at a time when elementary teachers are celebrating the end of the year and taking the summers off. Our ECEC teachers serve 12 months a year - it is so important they know they are appreciated especially at this time of year. Many will be taking well deserved PTO vacations during the summer months. A big thank you to Jenna and Joan who cover classrooms!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (6-1-25) - Teacher Appreciation</image:title>
      <image:caption>St. Peter’s showed appreciation for our teachers in the month of May. So many of you provided $10 gift cards for our teachers. We were able to provide something special each day. Monday was a gift pack with “Serving With a Heart Like Jesus” including a devotion book, seed packet, and a cross; Tuesday was ice cream and target gift cards for every teacher; Wednesday was a parent appreciation luncheon; Thursday was gift card drawing day with the teachers who have been here the longest getting to select first; finally, Friday was a pizza party and prayer day for the teachers. Thank you for showing love for our teachers who share Jesus with children and families every day. Your encouragement makes a difference at a time when elementary teachers are celebrating the end of the year and taking the summers off. Our ECEC teachers serve 12 months a year - it is so important they know they are appreciated especially at this time of year. Many will be taking well deserved PTO vacations during the summer months. A big thank you to Jenna and Joan who cover classrooms!</image:caption>

We will start with chapter 1 on June 1, etc. The book of Proverbs was originally written to a young man by his elder in an attempt to pass down both godly wisdom and instruction. Together the book’s themes of wisdom and folly running through the daily readings will be investigated with specific touchpoints. How can followers of Jesus build their lives on a foundation of wisdom? What does the book of Proverbs say about how we live our daily life?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (5-18-25) - Peace be with you!</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Gospels record the visits Jesus made to many people after the Resurrection. There He said many things to them, including the phrase, “Peace be with you.” He repeated this phrase several times. It was a common greeting among the Hebrew people during that period of history, but it had new significance when Jesus said it after the Resurrection. Do you need some of that peace? Many of us faced death over the last months and years. Maybe there are times that you think: “Why am I so sad?” When a loved one dies, it’s only natural to feel profound sadness, even depression and to withdraw or isolate ourselves. Today we want to point you to Jesus and His resurrection peace! It is just what you need.

Joining Jesus on His Mission will alter the way you recognize where Jesus is already at work in people all around you. Join Jesus on this mission. You will feel both relief and hope. You may even hear yourself say, “I can do this!” as you start responding to the everyday opportunities Jesus is placing in your path. You are invited to a workshop in St. Paul on Tuesday &amp; Wednesday May 13-14 where we will sit down in the neighborhood of the authors and be challenged to be everyday missionaries.

      <image:caption>With a small army a couple weeks ago, we crossed off 3 pages of to do projects. And the hard work is very visible. Somehow, for some reason, the copy machine keeps printing new lists!!!??? How does it know? Didn’t we just do this? Well… yes. But there are 4 more pages of checkboxes. Just so the 20+ people who helped out don’t feel unappreciated, we want to report that they worked themselves to exhaustion. And the elevator was a little tired after all the scrap metal that was hauled outside! [And no, as tempting as it is, we won’t show the picture of a classroom full of volunteers sitting around the tables in a classroom with a cup of coffee and a donut in hand. You deserved your break time. And honestly, you work harder and longer than Hennepin County construction crews who have been working on building 6 bus stops on France Avenue for 3 years!!! At least we didn’t close down traffic for weeks on end.] Anyway, in all seriousness, we need you. And your friends. and, well, any living beings you can find to drag along with you. We had a very strong muscular 3-year-old superhero who helped out last time, so there is no age limit on either end. Even our gray-haired pastor logged 20,000 steps that Saturday. Yes, we honestly have a task for anyone and everyone. Saturday, May 17 starting at 9:30 with supervision (or 6am unsupervised). The task list is already prepared and waiting!!!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>How to be an everyday missionary. Sound interesting? Joining Jesus on His Mission will alter the way you see your life as a follower of Jesus and take you beyond living your life for Jesus to living life with Jesus. Simple, powerful and applicable insights show you how to be on mission and recognize where Jesus is already at work in your neighborhoods, workplaces and schools. You will feel both relief and hope. You may even hear yourself say, “I can do this!” as you start responding to the everyday opportunities Jesus is placing in your path. It all starts with the book. We have a copy for you! Pick one up today. Hop on the Zoom book discussion on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:00pm. Interested? How do you participate? Grab a book at the Welcome Center. Read chapter 13-15 for discussion this week then join us by clicking on the video link below. After reading the book and seeing how Jesus is “messing with you,” you are invited to a workshop in St. Paul on May 13-14 where we will sit down in the neighborhood of the authors and be challenged to be everyday missionaries. The workshop will run from 1pm to 8pm each day and will include dinner both days. We will carpool together from St. Peter’s. Ready?

Invite family and friends to experience it with you. Throughout Lent, we have been on a journey of restoring the lost relationship in Eden. We are there! The promise is fulfilled. The battle is over. The curse has been lifted. The victory has been won. The relationship with our Creator has been restored.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>How to be an everyday missionary. Sound interesting? Joining Jesus on His Mission will alter the way you see your life as a follower of Jesus and take you beyond living your life for Jesus to living life with Jesus. Simple, powerful and applicable insights show you how to be on mission and recognize where Jesus is already at work in your neighborhoods, workplaces and schools. You will feel both relief and hope. You may even hear yourself say, “I can do this!” as you start responding to the everyday opportunities Jesus is placing in your path. It all starts with the book. We have a copy for you! Pick one up today. Hop on the Zoom book discussion on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:00pm. Interested? How do you participate? Grab a book. Read chapter 11-13 for discussion this week then join us by clicking on the video link below. After reading the book and seeing how Jesus is “messing with you,” you are invited to a workshop in St. Paul on May 13-14 where we will sit down in the neighborhood of the authors and be challenged to be everyday missionaries. The workshop will run from 1pm to 8pm each day and will include dinner both days. We will carpool together from St. Peter’s. Ready? Contact Pastor Mark for more information or express your interest. mshockey@stpetersedina.org</image:caption>

(If you forgot it is not too late - bring them any day this week.) If you would rather donate to the activities and supplies, just mark your gift “Kids Fest” and we will invest it in sharing the incredible message of Christ’s love demonstrated throughout Holy Week.

      <image:caption>Do you know Jesus? It’s one thing to know facts about him, but to experience his love, wisdom, and guidance in your life is what it means to follow him. On the night before he was crucified, Jesus invited his disciples into a deep relationship with the triune God—and his invitation stands for us too. For the next 3 weeks we will watch a video Bible teaching series by Francis Chan where we will dive into John 13–17, a passage rich in promises, commands, and eternal truths. He’ll remind us we aren’t called to a part-time faith—we were made to know, walk with, and commune with God. We will gather together in the Discipleship Room just to the right as you leave the sanctuary. Grab some Caribou and a treat as you come into the room. Please head to the room about 10:45am.</image:caption>

We didn’t garner interest for a group lunch and viewing so enjoy it on your own. Following the theatrical run, Season 5 will then be available via 'The Chosen' (free) app, and other streaming platforms. (Viewing the theatrical run helps toward funding of the final two Seasons in the series. Note that, after Season 5 has run in other streaming platforms it will then be available via 'The Chosen' app.) The Chosen' app also has behind-the-scenes and other discussions/deep-dives of episode content, as well as a 'support' link to help fund the final two Seasons. You can catch up on Seasons 1-4 via 'The Chosen' free app. St. Peter’s also has DVD's of the first four seasons which you can check out to watch at home.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Some of the Bible’s most foundational stories happen on mountains, from God Giving the Commandments to Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. As the biblical narrative unfolds, a mountain motif emerges, with characters like Abraham being tested on a mountain, Moses given instruction, and prophets like Elijah receiving revelation from God while meeting with him at high altitudes. In the Bible, mountains are mentioned not merely as geographic settings but as sacred places where Heaven and Earth meet—where the divine presence joins humanity to provide instruction, direction, and hope for the day when all of Heaven and Earth are finally one.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (3-2-25) - The Imposition of Ashes</image:title>
      <image:caption>Christians receive ashes on Ash Wednesday to remind us of our humble origin (the body of Adam was formed out of the dust of the earth). The ashes also remind us of death, when our bodies will return to dust. The ashes are a sign of the cross on the forehead, and are a reminder of our sin and the price Christ paid on the cross for our forgiveness. It is a visible reminder of how we receive God’s forgiveness as a free and undeserved gift. The tradition dates back to the Old Testament where sinners performed acts of public penance. The ashes represent a person acknowledging and showing remorse for their sins. You are invited to join Pastor Mark for a brief devotion and the imposition of ashes as Lent begins this week on Ash Wednesday, March 5, at 11:30am or at 5:00pm in the sanctuary.</image:caption>

The daily devotions and journaling opportunity will correspond to our Sunday themes each week toward Good Friday and the Resurrection. Pick up a free copy in the commons this morning. The daily readings begin Ash Wednesday, March 5. This prayer journal invites you on a faith journey to explore the narrative of God’s story as you consider each aspect of your life. Through a daily cadence of pausing, Scripture reading, discovery, and prayer, you will have an opportunity to respond each day. Every week ends with a prompt to help you more deeply notice God’s love and grace in your life. As you spend more time in the presence of God, His influence in every aspect of your life increases, bringing you closer to the fully restored relationship we will experience in heaven. The package is complimentary. If you would like to contribute toward the cost of your materials, it is $6. We encourage you to write in the book as it is a journal.

      <image:caption>We are in a giving challenge this year. What is a giving challenge? Give from your income before you spend anywhere else and see if God won’t bless you incredibly during all of 2025. We encourage you to join us in the excitement of generous giving in 2025. Check out the giving options on the website by clicking the button below. Perhaps you want to support the Lord’s ministries, or give specifically to the Facility Fund. Wherever and however much you give, you will partner with God to bless others. Together we meet families at the intersection of faith and real life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (3-2-25) - LA Wildfires</image:title>
      <image:caption>After the wildfires in the LA area you may be wondering about ways that you can help. The collection of churches that we are a part of recently sent this out regarding immediate assistance needed: Pray - Continue to lift up the victims, first responders, communities and all of us in prayer as we experience this significant disaster. This includes praying that we recognize the opportunities we have to share the light and love of Jesus to so many in need. Especially be in prayer as another significant wind event is expected this week. Donate - Victims will have a significant immediate need for financial resources to purchase basic items, pay for hotel stays, pay for meals, etc. The Pacific Southwest District has a standing fund which you can donate funds to for this purpose (CLICK HERE). They immediately distributed funds to area congregations, and will continue to do so. Love - Be the hands and feet of Jesus as you care spiritually for those you may come in contact with that are affected by this disaster, and even those who may not be in the immediate area but are traumatized. This especially applies to active, caring listening as they share their trauma and needs.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>With the wildfires raging in the LA area you may be wondering about ways that you can help. The collection of churches that we are a part of recently sent this out regarding ways to help right now: Pray - Continue to lift up the victims, first responders, communities and all of us in prayer as we experience this significant disaster. This includes praying that we recognize the opportunities we have to share the light and love of Jesus to so many in need. Especially be in prayer as another significant wind event is expected this week. Donate - Victims will have a significant immediate need for financial resources to purchase basic items, pay for hotel stays, pay for meals, etc. The Pacific Southwest District has a standing fund which you can donate funds to for this purpose (CLICK HERE). They immediately distributed funds to area congregations, and will continue to do so. Love - Be the hands and feet of Jesus as you care spiritually for those you may come in contact with that are affected by this disaster, and even those who may not be in the immediate area but are traumatized. This especially applies to active, caring listening as they share their trauma and needs.</image:caption>

You are invited to sign up to share treats on Sunday mornings. Maybe grab another person/family and sign up together. “What do I have to bring?” That is up to you. What kind of a late morning treat do you enjoy - bring it to share. It can be cookies, fruit, and appetizer, a dessert. Anything goes. (And it literally will all disappear!) If you have a special occasion why not share it with your church family. Birthdays, anniversaries, baptismal recognition. A memorial? We’d love to celebrate eternal life with you. Sign up on the clipboard beside the coffee. St. Peter’s takes care of the coffee and drinks. You just supply the goodies. Thanks for sharing with the Lord’s people.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (2-2-25) - Mountains?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some of the Bible’s most foundational stories happen on mountains, from God Giving the Commandments to Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. As the biblical narrative unfolds, a literary mountain motif emerges, with characters like Abraham being tested on a mountain and prophets like Moses and Elijah receiving instruction or revelation from God while meeting with him at high altitudes. In the Bible, mountains are mentioned not merely as geographic settings but as sacred places where Heaven and Earth collide—where the divine presence joins humanity to provide instruction, direction, and hope for the day when all of Heaven and Earth are finally one.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (1-26-25) - Please, Sorry, Thanks</image:title>
      <image:caption>The three words please, sorry, and thanks are the foundation of all healthy relationships. The way we use those three words has a huge affect on spiritual, mental, and emotional health. Those three words will determine how happy we are and even how holy we are. If you want to change your life, you have to change your words! Nothing opens doors like please. Nothing mends fences like sorry. Nothing builds bridges like thanks. In fact, the best predictor of your success in life, in love, and in leadership is your proficiency with these three seemingly simple words. How do you cultivate intimate relationships? How do you make amends for the mistakes you’ve made? How do you shift the atmosphere at home? How do you change the culture at work? How do you win friends and influence people? You get really good at please, sorry, and thanks! Discover the importance of each word as part of our “The Words We Say” series of messages. Join us in worship for some inspiring messages and stay for the Pastor’s Bible class, from 10:45- 11:30am. We will discuss theses words in more depth and you can share a few experiences. Can you think of anyone who might need a vocabulary boost? Invite them!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>With the wildfires raging in the LA area you may be wondering about ways that you can help. The collection of churches that we are a part of recently sent this out regarding ways to help right now: Pray - Continue to lift up the victims, first responders, communities and all of us in prayer as we experience this significant disaster. This includes praying that we recognize the opportunities we have to share the light and love of Jesus to so many in need. Especially be in prayer as another significant wind event is expected this week. Donate - Victims will have a significant immediate need for financial resources to purchase basic items, pay for hotel stays, pay for meals, etc. The Pacific Southwest District has a standing fund which you can donate funds to for this purpose (CLICK HERE). They immediately distributed funds to area congregations, and will continue to do so. Love - Be the hands and feet of Jesus as you care spiritually for those you may come in contact with that are affected by this disaster, and even those who may not be in the immediate area but are traumatized. This especially applies to active, caring listening as they share their trauma and needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (1-19-25) - Please, Sorry, Thanks</image:title>
      <image:caption>The three words please, sorry, and thanks are the foundation of all healthy relationships. The way we use those three words has a huge affect on spiritual, mental, and emotional health. Those three words will determine how happy we are and even how holy we are. If you want to change your life, you have to change your words! Nothing opens doors like please. Nothing mends fences like sorry. Nothing builds bridges like thanks. In fact, the best predictor of your success in life, in love, and in leadership is your proficiency with these three seemingly simple words. How do you cultivate intimate relationships? How do you make amends for the mistakes you’ve made? How do you shift the atmosphere at home? How do you change the culture at work? How do you win friends and influence people? You get really good at please, sorry, and thanks! Discover the importance of each word as part of our “The Words We Say” series of messages. Join us in worship for some inspiring messages and stay for the Pastor’s Bible class, from 10:45- 11:30am. We will discuss theses words in more depth and you can share a few experiences. Can you think of anyone who might need a vocabulary boost? Invite them!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>What an honor to have you here with us in the New Year! We are starting out the year examining the “Words We Say.” We use many words everyday. Pay attention to the words you use. Are there words you want to say more often in 2025? Come back again as we look at a new word you will want to use more often. Be sure to stop at the NEXT STEPS wall (or on the website) to discover how you can make 2025 the greatest year ever! We’d love to walk beside you the whole way. Pick up a “Welcome Home” booklet at the Welcome Center to learn more about our ministry support. Use the Connect Card in the seat back to let us know you were here or request additional information. If you are viewing this online complete the Digital Connect Card to let us know if we may serve you in any way. Check out the NEXT STEPS section on the website.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (1-5-25) - The Words We Say</image:title>
      <image:caption>The three words please, sorry, and thanks are the foundation of all healthy relationships. The way we use those three words has a huge affect on spiritual, mental, and emotional health. Those three words will determine how happy we are and even how holy we are. If you want to change your life, you have to change your words! Nothing opens doors like please. Nothing mends fences like sorry. Nothing builds bridges like thanks. In fact, the best predictor of your success in life, in love, and in leadership is your proficiency with these three seemingly simple words. How do you cultivate intimate relationships? How do you make amends for the mistakes you’ve made? How do you overcome trauma? How do you find true happiness? How do you shift the atmosphere at home? How do you change the culture at work? How do you win friends and influence people? You get really good at please, sorry, and thanks! The next 3 weeks we will discover the importance of each word as part of our “Words We Say” series of messages. Join us in worship for some inspiring messages and stay for the Pastor’s Bible class, from 10:45- 11:30am. We will discuss theses words in more depth and you can share a few experiences. Can you think of anyone who might need a vocabulary boost? Invite them!</image:caption>

It all starts with people like you who share the Gift of Christmas! Thank you for packing shoeboxes. We’re excited to see how God uses this year’s boxes to bring glory to His Name! Now this week, pray that God would open the hearts of the boys and girls who will receive the shoeboxes and that they would invite Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Savior.</image:caption>

Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. Grant that we, who came from many nations with many different languages, may become a united people. Support us in defending our liberties, and give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government the spirit of wisdom, that there may be justice and peace in our land.

      <image:caption>This morning, we are thrilled to welcome a special guest speaker, Mark Schoepp, an expert in issues surrounding aging family members. HIs message is entitled: “Home. a Comfort in the End?” This is a message for you if you have an aging family member or if you are that aging individual! Does your family have a plan? Isaiah 32:18 “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” If church is not a building, but the people, then where do God's people spend their time? Home. So perhaps church is home and home is church. Hmm...  just think of the possibilities! Join us this fall as we discover Home. What changes if Christ dwells in your home? How can your home be a place of contentment and rest where others enjoy spending time? Together we will learn the practices of a Christian home.</image:caption>

And if you are a member, you are welcome to “vote” on congregational matters. (And while you are at it, vote in the national / state / local election at your polling place!) The meeting is Sunday, November 17 at 11:00am The November Voters’ Assembly also includes the election of members of our Board of Directors, a group of five elected members responsible for the governance and leadership of areas of responsibility within St. Peter’s. The Board, working with the Staff, shall ensure that the Ministry Plan of the congregation will be implemented and sustained and shall be responsible for reporting on progress toward the Ministry Plan at the Regular Meetings of the Congregation. The Board members serve a 2-year term. We will be electing a Secretary and a Member-at-large for the January 1, 2024-December 31, 2026 term. We also need a Vice-President / Treasurer to fulfill a vacancy through the 2025 calendar year. A Nomination form is available below. A printed copy can be obtained at the Welcome Center. Descriptions of the positions are located on the form. You may also speak to congregational president Mark Wheeler, or any other current Board member to verbally submit a nominee.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A quote attributed to President Theodore Roosevelt: “Patriotism means to stand with the country. It does not mean to stand with the president.” That’s an interesting observation. St. Paul’s admonition in Titus 3:1-2: "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone." Though no political candidate, past, present, or future, is without significant flaws and weaknesses. Accordingly and sadly, it won’t be easy to vote on the basis of such important personal characteristics as honesty, integrity, morality, or likeability in this year’s election. Instead, many will hopefully be voting for the candidate whose platforms and political party adhere more closely than the other to policies that are in the best interest of our country’s future. Election of our nation’s leaders is a critically important topic worthy of prayerful participation. It simply must not be diminished into a paltry personality preference. Be prayerfully prepared to cast your vote. Here is a Prayer for Responsible Citizenship from Lutheran Service Book: Lord, keep this nation under your care. Bless the leaders of our land that we may be a people at peace among ourselves and a blessing to the other nations of the earth. Grant that we may choose trustworthy leaders, contribute to wise decisions for the general welfare, and serve you faithfully in our generation, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.</image:caption>

The great news is there are many volunteers who have been trained to respond to disasters and have been onsite helping. Lutheran Church Charities President/CEO, Rev. Chris Singer, and Disaster Response Director, Kath﻿y O’Day, are monitoring communication with LCMS Disaster Response and Florida-Georgia District Disaster Response Coordinator Jay Wendland. LCC is engaged in ongoing conversations with multiple LCMS districts and local congregations. “We know that so many lives have been upended and torn apart. They are entering this week without loved ones, homes, power, and basic needs. They need our prayers right now.” Singer said. “As the waters recede and power is restored, LCC stands ready to offer emergency assistance, tangible support, and most importantly, the comfort and hope found only in Jesus Christ.” You may participate financially by giving through your offering marking the “other” line DISASTER RELIEF. Or you may give directly through the button below. All funds donated will go directly to disaster relief.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Every wonder what happens after you place an envelope in the basket or push send on electronic giving? Great things! Every gift is important. Your generosity matters. Yes, your gift helps pay the electric bill and purchases coffee for Sunday mornings, but you also provide Bibles for those who are just learning about Jesus, and water for baptism, and salaries for those who lead worship each week. You enable us to reach those in our community, you provide carpet squares for the hallway, you support the sharing of the Gospel through the church around the world! And that is just the beginning… There are many ways to give financially. We call it an offering because we are offering ourselves for God’s bigger purposes. What an adventure.

Chris Singer, and Disaster Response Director, Kath﻿y O’Day, are monitoring communication with LCMS Disaster Response and Florida-Georgia District Disaster Response Coordinator Jay Wendland. LCC is engaged in ongoing conversations with multiple LCMS districts and local congregations. “We know that so many lives have been upended and torn apart. They are entering this week without loved ones, homes, power, and basic needs. They need our prayers right now.” Singer said. “As the waters recede and power is restored, LCC stands ready to offer emergency assistance, tangible support, and most importantly, the comfort and hope found only in Jesus Christ.” You may participate financially by giving through your offering marking the “other” line DISASTER RELIEF. Or you may give directly through the button below. All funds donated will go directly to disaster relief.</image:caption>

That’s what the All Access Account—an investment from Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) for church members, church workers, and congregations is about. St. Peter’s invests in savings at LCEF. They also hold our building mortgage. It is great to support and provide cost of funds interest levels to new projects and church plants during a time of church closings across the country.

      <image:caption>We have more STP kids participating. It is time to re-introduce Kids Kare &amp; Kids Kount!!! For the last couple of years, our older elementary kids have been helping the little STP KIDS with activities. It is great to watch. However, with a growing number of elementary aged students, it is time to engage them with their peers. And we are going to need a new crew of volunteers. Here is the great part: each week’s lesson is prepared for you. The theme, the Bible Story, the craft, the activities. We just need your help to engage our youngest disciples. We will be scheduling leaders once a month to lead the learning. There is nothing like being an adult for young people to talk about life and faith with at this age. If you are a little people person, this is a great spot for you. In fact, it won’t happen without you. We will be “graduating” some of our leaders to the elementary aged program so we will also need a couple more for the little, littles! If you would like to find out more about helping and being a team member, please let us know. Talk to Jenna Pitkanen 952-607-8686. with any questions.</image:caption>

You can also listen to the broadcast at www.lhm.org. On the website you will find numerous tools to grow in your faith. Bible studies, videos, witnessing helps, and other resources for you. St. Peter’s has been invited to sponsor a week of the Lutheran Hour. It costs $1785 to sponsor a week. Every gift helps. And yes, there are so many people around the country - and around the globe - who “stumble” across the broadcast every week. That is why Dr. Michael Zeigler, speaker of the Lutheran Hour, continues to produce fresh and relevant content in 2024. Here are a few stories: Chuck listened in bed on his radio and came back to church after 35 years. Renee heard the Lutheran Hour when she was a child and her mother was suffering from postpartum depression. Her father found a local Lutheran congregation for his family. James works on T38 jets and listens in his earbuds, remembering that he listed to the broadcast when he would visit his grandparents. Cathy had car trouble and was forced to pull off the road. A young man named Brian stopped to help her but said he is not religious. Cathy mentioned that she listens to the Lutheran Hour every week. Weeks later, Brian reached out to Cathy - he had started listening and it had impacted his life. Make a gift to LHM online or mark your gift in the offering “Missions” and we will combine it with gifts of other worshipers.</image:caption>

Pastor Mark compiled a Blessing of a Dwelling to help you explore each room of your home and apply Scripture to ensure it truly reflects a Christian household. There is a prayer for each room of your home. Pick up a copy on the Welcome Center this morning or print a copy below.

      <image:caption>Sometimes, being far away from disasters makes us a bit disinterested. But remember that we are able to be the hands and feet of Jesus in times such as this. The great news is there are many volunteers who have been trained to respond to disasters and have been onsite helping. LCC President/CEO Rev. Chris Singer and LCC Disaster Response Director Kath﻿y O’Day are monitoring communication with LCMS Disaster Response and Florida-Georgia District Disaster Response Coordinator Jay Wendland. LCC is engaged in ongoing conversations with multiple LCMS districts and local congregations. “We know that so many lives have been upended and torn apart. They are entering this week without loved ones, homes, power, and basic needs. They need our prayers right now.” Singer said. “As the waters recede and power is restored, LCC stands ready to offer emergency assistance, tangible support, and most importantly, the comfort and hope found only in Jesus Christ.” You may participate financially by giving through your offering marking the “other” line DISASTER RELIEF. Or you may give directly through the button below. All funds donated will go directly to disaster relief.</image:caption>

For the last couple of years, our older elementary kids have been helping the little STP KIDS with activities. It is great to watch. However, with a growing number of elementary aged students, it is time to engage them with their peers. And we are going to need a new crew of volunteers. Here is the great part: each week’s lesson is prepared for you. The theme, the Bible Story, the craft, the activities. We just need your help to engage our youngest disciples. We will be scheduling leaders once a month to lead the learning. There is nothing like being an adult for young people to talk about life and faith with at this age. If you are a little people person, this is a great spot for you. In fact, it won’t happen without you. We will be “graduating” some of our leaders to the elementary aged program so we will also need a couple more for the little, littles!

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (10-13-24) - The Lutheran Hour: a National Broadcast with a Local Impact</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Lutheran Hour airs in the Minneapolis area on WCCO 830 AM every Sunday morning at 6:05 a.m. The Lutheran Hour serves on your behalf, working in conjunction with local churches to proclaim the Gospel in its purity. You can also listen to the broadcast at www.lhm.org. On the website you will find numerous tools to grow in your faith. Bible studies, videos, witnessing helps, and other resources for you. St. Peter’s has been invited to sponsor a week of the Lutheran Hour. It costs $1785 to sponsor a week. Every gift helps. And yes, there are so many people around the country - and around the globe - who “stumble” across the broadcast every week. That is why Dr. Michael Zeigler, speaker of the Lutheran Hour, continues to produce fresh and relevant content in 2024. Here are a few stories: Chuck listened in bed on his radio and came back to church after 35 years. Renee heard the Lutheran Hour when she was a child and her mother was suffering from postpartum depression. Her father found a local Lutheran congregation for his family. James works on T38 jets and listens in his earbuds, remembering that he listed to the broadcast when he would visit his grandparents. Cathy had car trouble and was forced to pull off the road. A young man named Brian stopped to help her but said he is not religious. Cathy mentioned that she listens to the Lutheran Hour every week. Weeks later, Brian reached out to Cathy - he had started listening and it had impacted his life. Make a gift to LHM online or mark your gift in the offering “Missions” and we will combine it with gifts of other worshipers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Lutheran Hour airs in the Minneapolis area on WCCO 830 AM every Sunday morning at 6:05 a.m. The Lutheran Hour serves on your behalf, working in conjunction with local churches to proclaim the Gospel in its purity. You can also listen to the broadcast at www.lhm.org. On the website you will find numerous tools to grow in your faith. Bible studies, videos, witnessing helps, and other resources for you. St. Peter’s has been invited to sponsor a week of the Lutheran Hour. It costs $1785 to sponsor a week. Every gift helps. And yes, there are so many people around the country - and around the globe - who “stumble” across the broadcast every week. That is why Dr. Michael Zeigler, speaker of the Lutheran Hour, continues to produce fresh and relevant content in 2024. Here are a few stories: Chuck listened in bed on his radio and came back to church after 35 years. Renee heard the Lutheran Hour when she was a child and her mother was suffering from postpartum depression. Her father found a local Lutheran congregation for his family. James works on T38 jets and listens in his earbuds, remembering that he listed to the broadcast when he would visit his grandparents. Cathy had car trouble and was forced to pull off the road. A young man named Brian stopped to help her but said he is not religious. Cathy mentioned that she listens to the Lutheran Hour every week. Weeks later, Brian reached out to Cathy - he had started listening and it had impacted his life. Make a gift to LHM online or mark your gift in the offering “Missions” and we will combine it with gifts of other worshipers.</image:caption>

Yes, your gift helps pay the electric bill and purchases coffee for Sunday mornings, but you also provide Bibles for those who are just learning about Jesus, and water for baptism, and salaries for those who lead worship each week. You enable us to reach those in our community, you provide carpet squares for the hallway, you support the sharing of the Gospel through the church around the world!

      <image:caption>Maybe you are concerned that if others knew you and your story and your history, they would push back. And maybe you feel that is how God feels about you too. Pastor Mark wants us to look at Jesus in a way that we notice the way He approached those He encountered when He lived in our world. The truth is… He gets us. He really does. And He is in love with you. Maybe you saw these words in an interesting footwashing ad during the Olympics. You are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider His way of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. This is the last day of this series. Our pastor led Sunday morning Bible Class will meet today at 10:45 - 11:30am. You are invited to participate in the Discipleship Room after the coffee time. We supply the Bibles and the application. Join us for a deeper Bible study of the day’s theme.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-29-24) - Calling Little Person People!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have more STP kids participating. It is time to re-introduce Kids Kare &amp; Kids Kount!!! For the last couple of years, our older elementary kids have been helping the little STP KIDS with activities. It is great to watch. However, with a growing number of elementary aged students, it is time to engage them with their peers. And we are going to need a new crew of volunteers. Here is the great part: each week’s lesson is prepared for you. The theme, the Bible Story, the craft, the activities. We just need your help to engage our youngest disciples. We will be scheduling leaders once a month to lead the learning. There is nothing like being an adult for young people to talk about life and faith with at this age. If you are a little people person, this is a great spot for you. In fact, it won’t happen without you. We will be “graduating” some of our leaders to the elementary aged program so we will also need a couple more for the little, littles! If you would like to find out more about helping and being a team member, please let us know. Talk to Jenna Pitkanen 952-607-8686. with any questions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For 63 years, Gospel materials have been gathered locally for churches around the world through ICLD (International Christian Literature Distibutors). We have a wooden box under the coat rack near the Welcome Center in the Commons. They now have a new name: Global Gospel Books. Same mission, same effort. Just an effort to reach new people to share. Bibles are needed - please glean your shelves, look in thrift stores for Bibles -ask around. Any version or condition. The requests are higher than the supply. Beyond Bibles and New Testaments, the most popular items are Bible dictionaries, handbooks, commentary books, concordances, prayer, theology, children’s materials and anything about Jesus! When you walk past your bookshelf at home, stand a few minutes looking at what you might share. Bring them to the box. We will get them to the shipping location. Thanks for sharing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Are you ready to join a movement that is making communities better, one neighborhood at a time? If so, National Good Neighbor Day (NGND) is the time to begin! On Saturday, September 28, neighborly activities will be taking place around the country. To help you in your neighborhood, The Hopeful Neighborhood Project (HNP) wants to energize and simplify your efforts at making the place where you live a better place to be. To make your good neighboring a bit easier, Lutheran Hour Ministries has developed a website, nationalgoodneighborday.org. It is full of tips, insights, and FREE resources to maximize your efforts. After you watch the introductory video, you'll be inspired-and surprised-at how easy being a good neighbor can be! To get you going, a series of Getting Started Guides offer resources and ideas for libraries, local governments, neighborhoods and HOAs, and faith communities. To stoke the fires of your neighborliness, the website offers compelling stories of people in action, serving their neighbors and enriching their communities. Excellent ideas are offered in "101 Small Ways You Can Improve Your City" and even: "101 Acts of Neighboring." Check it out! nationalgoodneighborday.org</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-8-24) - He Gets Us.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Maybe you are concerned that if others knew you and your story and your history, they would push back. And maybe you feel that is how God feels about you too. Pastor Mark wants us to look at Jesus in a way that we notice the way He approached those He encountered when He lived in our world. The truth is… He gets us. He really does. And He is in love with you. Maybe you saw these words in an interesting footwashing ad during the Olympics. You are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider His way of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. The series will run through September. Our Sunday morning pastor-led Bible study will begin again on September 15. You are invited to participate in the Discipleship Room after the coffee time. We supply the Bibles and the application. Join us for a 30-minute deeper Bible study of the day’s theme.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-8-24) - School is underway… Let’s kick off learning about Jesus!</image:title>
      <image:caption>A couple weeks ago we needed to bring extra chairs into STP KIDS. That is amazing! We also have more older kids participating and they have just moved up a grade. It is time to re-introduce Kids Kare &amp; Kids Kount!!! For the last couple of years, our older elementary kids have been helping the little STP KIDS with activities. It is great to watch. However, with a growing number of elementary aged students, it is time to engage them with their peers. And we are going to need a new crew of volunteers. Here is the great part: each week’s lesson is prepared for you. The theme, the Bible Story, the craft, the activities. We just need your help to engage our youngest disciples. If you are a little people person, this is a great spot for you. In fact, it won’t happen without you. Next Sunday, September 15, we will have an organizational discussion for about 20 minutes beginning at 10:40am in the Office Conference Room. Please come to learn more. No commitment, just discovery and idea generation. Questions? Talk to Jenna Pitkanen 952-607-8686.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Educational choices are so important in an age where many agendas are now taught in public education. One such choice is the schools of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). St. Peter’s supports LCMS schools and their commitment to teaching the Bible. Thank you for supporting children in our communities. Our collection of school supplies was a huge success. School Supplies were delivered to Trinity First Lutheran School in the Phillips Neighborhood of Minneapolis. Their values are prayer, relationships, inclusive education, and family involvement. Along with the school supplies for students, we also provided $50 Aldi grocery cards for each of the 24 staff members from our St. Peter’s Mission Fund. Thank you for making it possible to further the sharing of faith and Biblical teaching.</image:caption>

Yes, your gift helps pay the electric bill and purchases coffee for Sunday mornings, but you also provide Bibles for those who are just learning about Jesus, and water for baptism, and salaries for those who lead worship each week. You enable us to reach those in our community, you provide carpet squares for the hallway, you support the sharing of the Gospel through the church around the world! And that is just the beginning… There are many ways to give financially. We call it an offering because we are offering ourselves for God’s bigger purposes. What an adventure.

      <image:caption>There are crucial milestones as you grow in faith: worship; quiet time in the Bible and prayer; small groups; volunteering; and generosity! Yes, giving is part of the way God grows your faith. It is about trusting Him to provide for all your needs - and the joy of entering the journey of supporting others as Jesus demonstrated. Giving of your energy is a wonderful way to impact others; providing donations of food and other items makes a difference in other’s lives; and top that off with financial generosity and you will see incredible blessings. There are many ways to give financially. We call it an offering because we are offering ourselves for God’s bigger purposes. What an adventure. We’d like to help you along the way.

      <image:caption>There are crucial milestones as you grow in faith: worship; quiet time in the Bible and prayer; small groups; volunteering; and generosity! Yes, giving is part of the way God grows your faith. It is about trusting Him to provide for all your needs - and the joy of entering the journey of supporting others as Jesus demonstrated. Giving of your energy is a wonderful way to impact others; providing donations of food and other items makes a difference in other’s lives; and top that off with financial generosity and you will see incredible blessings. There are many ways to give financially. We call it an offering because we are offering ourselves for God’s bigger purposes. What an adventure. We’d like to help you along the way.

      <image:caption>Maybe you are concerned that if others knew you and your story and your history, they would push back. And maybe you feel that is how God feels about you too. Pastor Mark wants us to look at Jesus in a way that we notice the way He approached those He encountered when He lived in our world. The truth is… He gets us. He really does. And He is in love with you. Maybe you saw these words in an interesting footwashing ad during the Olympics the last weeks. You are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider His way of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. The series will run through the summer Sundays.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Maybe you are concerned that if others knew you and your story and your history, they would push back. And maybe you feel that is how God feels about you too. Pastor Mark wants us to look at Jesus in a way that we notice the way He approached those He encountered when He lived in our world. The truth is… He gets us. He really does. And He is in love with you. Maybe you saw these words in an interesting footwashing ad during the Superbowl. You are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider His way of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. The series will run through the summer Sundays.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There are some facility projects underway that we need assistance to complete. Join in the fun with others to prep / and lay carpet squares downstairs in the hallway. 1/3 of the carpet has been laid. There is a little demo left in the hallway near the gym; some touch up painting needs to be done; vinyl cove molding that needs to be cut and attached. We also have some carpet stains in the commons that need TLC! We have stain lifter and a carpet cleaner. If the sanctuary is more your passion, a wipe down of seats, corners, trim, windows, and the altar would give glory to God. And if you are thinking, “not me” there is another task: our kitchen could use a wipe down &amp; the window well down there has some COVID weeds that may now be trees! Work days will be Tuesday 7/30 &amp; 8/6 starting at 6:00 pm &amp; Saturday 8/3 starting at 8:00am. Come and go as you need to. Let us know if you are coming below. Pastor Mark is coordinating so text him your questions. 612-799-0512.</image:caption>

Do you remember Colombo - that wacky police detective who asked questions to solve crimes? He is used as an example of who we can ask interested questions to learn people’s stories. So many of us want to share our faith, but don’t know how to go about and certainly don’t want to offend our friends. Good news! It doesn’t have to be that way. Join us and discover how. We have a new book waiting for you. Just ask! We read chapters and then gather to watch a video by the author and then discuss and apply what we hear.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There may still be some tickets available for the final show today, July 14, at 2:00pm. Purchase reserved seats for the matinee production of Rock of Ages. This is an inclusive theater performance with artists with disabilities and a shadow partner. The artists have been working hard for weeks. The story is set in 1987 and stars long haired band members on a quest to save a classic theatre. Be prepared to sip classic 80's beverages as you sing along to such rock anthems as “Sister Christian,” “Dead or Alive,” and “Don't Stop Believing." This is the second Twin Cities production, having done Shrek Jr. earlier in 2024. Tickets are $25 each and support a number of programs for many in our community with a cognitive and/or physical disability or who are neurodivergent. The Unlabeled Theatre Company runs programing from the St. Peter’s facility.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In partnership with the Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans (Pastor Mark is a member) it is time for the 18th quarterly American Red Cross blood drive we have hosted here. Blood, and the many derivative projects enabled by your blood donation, is always needed for area VA hospitals and other medical facilities and hospitals in the Upper Midwest. Not a blood donor? Bring donations for Veteran Organizations during the blood drive or Sunday before: - nice used clothing for veteran families - food and new cleaning supplies and other items to establish apartments for single vets - used electronic recycling (cell phones, games, computer equipment) Thursday, July 25, 1:00-7:00pm</image:caption>

The Twin Cities Bible Blitz is coming October 6-10 -- an effort to distribute 30,000 Bibles in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and suburbs. Learn more next week. Partner during a door offering or sign up to actually hand out Bibles! Imagine being used by the Spirit in that way.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (7-14-24) - Sunday… a day of health</image:title>
      <image:caption>Regular church attendance is good for our physical health and our mental health! In a review of 69 studies, regularly attending church is linked to a lower incidence of death from cardiovascular disease. Similarly, a Norwegian study published in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine found that the more time a person spends at church, the lower his or her blood pressure. (The Norwegian study strengthened an American study that had already made that conclusion). Furthermore, Psychology Today reports that regular church attendance also boosts mental health by providing feelings of hope and belonging, as well as increasing self-esteem and sense of self-worth. That makes sense because as Christians, we know we are loved: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (6-23-24) - Sunday… a day of health</image:title>
      <image:caption>Regular church attendance is good for our physical health and our mental health! In a review of 69 studies, regularly attending church is linked to a lower incidence of death from cardiovascular disease. Similarly, a Norwegian study published in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine found that the more time a person spends at church, the lower his or her blood pressure. (The Norwegian study strengthened an American study that had already made that conclusion). Furthermore, Psychology Today reports that regular church attendance also boosts mental health by providing feelings of hope and belonging, as well as increasing self-esteem and sense of self-worth. That makes sense because as Christians, we know we are loved: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Maybe you are concerned that if others knew you and your story and your history, they would push back. And maybe you feel that is how God feels about you too. This summer, Pastor Mark wants to look at Jesus in a way that you notice that He approached those He encountered when He lived in our world. The truth is… He gets us. He really does. And He is still in love with you. Maybe you saw these words in an interesting ad during the Superbowl. You are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider His way of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. Beginning in July.</image:caption>

They are all very active in Unlabeled Theatre Company - a nonprofit dedicated to increasing opportunities and outcomes for adults with disabilities and/or who are neurodivergent through the arts. St. Peter's has partnered with UTC in an effort to reach young adults in the community in our continuing effort to meet an identified community need of serving families with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  UTC desires that adults are provided with what they need in order to be as safe, fulfilled, and independent as possible.  They use the arts to teach life skills, vocational classes, and health/wellness activities – because the arts not only foster creativity, but also create opportunities for artists of all abilities to participate and build independence. All classes and rehearsals take place at St. Peter's.  Theatre performances will take place at Park Square Theatre in Downtown St. Paul. It is an exciting part of the unfolding of home discipleship at St. Peter’s as we serve community families as the hands and feet of Jesus.

The votes were overwhelmingly desiring to experience it together beginning with season 1. (But we will let everyone know when we will launch season 4). There will be no charge to watch but will ask that you share some food / drinks. The times have been set! Many participated in the survey.

A Jewish leader, Joseph of Arimathea, claimed His body and placed it in a new tomb. There a stone was rolled in front the entrance and the tomb was secured. Before His death, Jesus spoke of His burial. During this time of darkness between the cross and the resurrection, recall those Red Letters.

      <image:caption>In the midst of His suffering, Christ didn’t say much. But each of His statements, as he hung there on the cross, were powerful. Through the years we have cherished and recalled these statements that have to do with our salvation. We will sit around the cross together as we remember those words recorded in red in the Bible from the cross.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Holy Saturday - March 30 - ONLINE ONLY - Red Letters from the Burial Christ was taken down from the cross before sundown when the Sabbath began in order that He could be buried. A Jewish leader, Joseph of Arimathea, claimed His body and placed it in a new tomb. There a stone was rolled in front the entrance and the tomb was secured. Before His death, Jesus spoke of His burial. During this time of darkness between the cross and the resurrection, recall those Red Letters.

Words that connected the events with God’s plan of salvation. When we hear the Red Letters spoken from the empty tomb everything was now changed! After our 40 Day Red Letter Challenge these words will hold new meaning and significance for all who gather. They are words of life; of hope; of peace; of a future for you and me. Invite others to join you for this powerful Easter service. Immediately following the service, join us for an Easter Parfait as we spread the joy of the Resurrection!</image:caption>

Based on the Biblical account of the widow's mite (Luke 21:1–4), the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of "mites" — offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund LCMS district and national mission grants and implement the Lutheran Women in Mission program.</image:caption>

Here is a note of appreciation from the executive director for all the St. Peter’s families who brought taco makings and Jill and the team who served last Sunday: I can’t say thanks enough for the amazing lunch today. It was a LONG day…9 am - 5 pm… it was SUCH a delicious break - everyone was so thankful for the sustenance. AND (not remotely surprising) every last cookie was consumed. Thank you for the love and the service today - we wouldn’t have made it without you! And we are all SO thankful for everyone and everything at St. Peter’s… Here we go! Looking forward to performing this amazing show with this fantastic cast and crew. With deep gratitude, Chris</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Hope: The Rebirth of Israel takes viewers on a journey through the 50 years that preceded the founding of the modern State of Israel. To understand the current struggles, a grasp of history is important. See history unfold through the eyes of some of Israel’s visionaries and founders. Bring some treats into the Discipleship Room just to the right outside the sanctuary. We will start at 10:40am and wrap up about 11:30am. This week we will look at Golda Meir &amp; Independence Day in 1948.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It may seem like poor timing to schedule a trip to the Holy Land as a war rages. Commercial airline flights into Tel Aviv were restored this week! Our 2024 Trip was postponed (we would have been there right now) but we are making plans for 2025. It will be important to show our support for the Israeli's in the months ahead. Families depend on tourism so many are struggling. We did not have plans to visit any of the areas affected by the conflict. There has been ongoing clashes and war in the land for 100 years. We would cancel if there is any danger. The gospels give us the narrative of Jesus and His disciples. We will begin the journey at Galilee where Jesus called the disciples to follow. Visit locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Hope: The Rebirth of Israel takes viewers on a journey through the 50 years that preceded the founding of the modern State of Israel. To understand the current struggles, a grasp of history is important. See history unfold through the eyes of some of Israel’s visionaries and founders. Bring some treats into the Discipleship Room just to the right outside the sanctuary. We will start at 10:40am and wrap up about 11:30am.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (1-14-24) - A Trip to Israel Now?</image:title>
      <image:caption>It may seem like poor timing to schedule a trip to the Holy Land as a war rages. Commercial airline flights into Tel Aviv were restored this week! Our 2024 Trip was postponed (we would have been there right now) but we are making plans for 2025. It will be important to show our support for the Israeli's in the months ahead. Families depend on tourism so many are struggling. We did not have plans to visit any of the areas affected by the conflict. There has been ongoing clashes and war in the land for 100 years. We would cancel if there is any danger. The gospels give us the narrative of Jesus and His disciples. We will begin the journey at Galilee where Jesus called the disciples to follow. Visit locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Battle for Jerusalem. We are watching a second video series on the history of the land from CBN News that will help you understand the conflict we are facing and the confusion even in our country about the war. It seems history is just repeating itself - or the conflict has never been resolved. In May of 1967, Arab nations joined together with a stated goal to wipe Israel off the map. Less than 20 years after reforming as a nation, Israel was on the verge of extinction. Yet, six days in early June 1967 changed history forever. In Our Hands tells the story of Israel’s 55th Paratrooper Brigade and how Israel Defense Forces risked everything for the sake of their homeland. With firsthand interviews and historical reenactments, this powerful docudrama focuses on the commitment and sacrifice of the soldiers who reunited Jerusalem. Sunday mornings from 10:40am - 11:30am. Stop for some fellowship after the service, then bring a treat and beverage into the Discipleship Room all the way to the right when you exit the sanctuary.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>What is there about the New Year that makes us believe that somehow at the strike of midnight everything will change - everything will be better when we hang a new calendar?  Honestly, how has that been working for you?  History shows us that our New Years resolutions fall flat within days or weeks.  Christians also tend to think we will accomplish great things when it comes to our faith - that somehow we will suddenly make better decisions and leave our sinful habits behind.  But, it seems we are stuck in our old sinful ways. What if we see God’s blessings for the New Year? See that God has been faithful in the past. See that God never gives up on you. See that God's love for you never changes and is based in His goodness, not your performance. See that God has already blessed you today for new days tomorrow.

Judea - Here we find repentance and life-change, preparing the way for the Lord's coming. Nazareth - Where a humble girl was told her part in the family of God, a family of which we all are a part. This evening, we will journey to our final destination: Bethlehem - Where a young couple are just now being directed to a nearby stable, even as we prepare to worship and rejoice. In each neighborhood, we discovered objects, conversations, events highlighting their importance in terms of the coming of the Lord.

      <image:caption>On the Wednesdays in Advent, we watched The Christmas Experience - a series of videos that examines the Christmas story in detail. Each episode focused on how God chose each individual in the Christmas story for a specific purpose. The Christmas Experience helps us find ourselves in the Christmas story, as we learn that what happened then changes everything now. We still have two remaining segments: Immanuel &amp; Gold Frankincense, and Myrrh. Join us Wednesday, December 27th at noon downstairs at St. Peter’s in the Underground Room. We will finish both, so we will eat as we watch to fit everything into the lunch hour. Can’t make it with the group? Watch the series anywhere on Right Now Media. Click the blue button below.

      <image:caption>The Battle for Jerusalem. We will watch a second video series on the history of the land from CBN News that will help you understand the conflict we are facing and the confusion even in our country about the war. The reality is, history is just repeating itself - or the conflict has never been resolved. In May of 1967, Arab nations joined together with a stated goal to wipe Israel off the map. Less than 20 years after reforming as a nation, Isral was on the verge of extinction. Yet, six days in early June 1967 chaned history forever. In Our Hands tells the story of Israel’s 55th Paratrooper Brigade and how Israel Defense Forces risked everything for the sake of their homeland. With firsthand interviews and historical reenactments, this powerful docudrama focuses on the commitment and sacrifice of the soldiers who reunited Jerusalem. We will take the holidays off, then return again on January 7 for this series. Sunday mornings from 10:40am - 11:30am.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This Fall we were challenged to live out our faith in our neighborhood. During Advent, we will visit some of the neighborhoods where Jesus spent time. Each is important to the Biblical story: Jerusalem - Site of sacrifice and forgiveness, where an aged priest entering the temple will confront the angel Gabriel. Judea - Here we find repentance and life-change, preparing the way for the Lord's coming. Nazareth - Where a humble girl will be told her part in the family of God, a family of which we all are a part. Bethlehem - Where a young couple are just now being directed to a nearby stable, even as we prepare to worship and rejoice. In each neighborhood, we will discover objects, conversations, events highlighting their importance in terms of the coming of the Lord. The mood is one of knowing anticipation. Join us as we journey! Sunday at 9:30am or watch online anytime.</image:caption>

We will look at the rebuilding of Jerusalem during the ministry of Nehemiah as well as other Scriptures. Is the West Bank really “occupied territory”?

      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>

During worship, when the message begins, our STP KIDS will be invited to a time of active learning just right for them to become great neighbors.

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (10-29-23) - October is Pastor Appreciation Month</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pastor Mark has served at St. Peter’s since June of 2000. We appreciate his participation in the community. Earlier in the month we shared how he has been part of Rotary since he first became a pastor in 1989 and is currently preparing for his year of service as District Governor, elected for the 2025-2026 Rotary year. Pastor Mark also spends time at the race track. He serves as a NASCAR chaplain for a Cup Series team and spends many Saturdays down at the Elko Speedway during the summer months here in Minnesota. He is also part of the Youth Impact Racing remote control car leadership team. They mentor student racers in two Minnesota locations (Edina and Burnsville) and do summer events in church parkinglots, fairgrounds, and other events. Today we see another aspect of Pastor Mark’s heart: serving young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He says he is so comfortable doing this since he grew up in a family with an adult with a disability and knows how helping a person know they are precious in God’s sight can truly change a life. Pastor Mark teaches a weekly Bible Study and spends lots of time sitting on couches having fun discussions with many friends at AbleLight Village in Victoria, an inclusive Senior &amp; Disability Housing facility. He has served on a promotion team for several years and also paints and cleans and does what is needed to get apartments ready to be home for those with disabilities. We appreciate Pastor Mark and the Shockey family for their ministry to us and the community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pastor Mark has served at St. Peter’s since June of 2000. We appreciate his participation in the community. He has been part of Rotary since he first became a pastor in 1989. After coming to Minnesota, he joined the Edina Morningside Rotary Club where he has worked alongside various city leaders. He also helped charter the Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans that meets here at St. Peter’s each month. At the club level he has served as administrator, president, membership chair, and on the foundation board in addition to being named Rotarian of the Year. In Rotary District 5950 - serving Minneapolis and west to Alexandria - he has held positions of webmaster, public image director, and served as a representative to the Rotary Zone that runs in the Midwest from Canada down to Texas. Pastor Mark has been elected as the District Governor for 2025. He felt able to accept that position since he now serves St. Peter’s in a 4 day a week role. The Shockeys attended training in Evanston, Illinois this week to prepare for this year of service. It is quite an honor to be selected to serve in this leadership role. The moto of Rotary is “Service Above Self.” and Pastor Mark feels that this relates well to his calling to serve his Lord and his neighbors. We appreciate Pastor Mark and the Shockey family for their ministry.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (10-15-23) - October is Pastor Appreciation Month</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pastor Mark has served at St. Peter’s since June of 2000. We appreciate his participation in the community. He has been part of Rotary since he first became a pastor in 1989. After coming to Minnesota, he joined the Edina Morningside Rotary Club where he has worked alongside various city leaders. He also helped charter the Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans that meets here at St. Peter’s each month. At the club level he has served as administrator, president, membership chair, and on the foundation board in addition to being named Rotarian of the Year. In Rotary District 5950 - serving Minneapolis and west to Alexandria - he has held positions of webmaster, public image director, and served as a representative to the Rotary Zone that runs in the Midwest from Canada down to Texas. Pastor Mark has been elected to serve as the District Governor for 2025. He felt able to accept that position since he now serves St. Peter’s in a 4 day a week role. The Shockeys will be attending training in Evanston, Illinois this week to prepare for this year of service. It is quite an honor to be selected to serve in this leadership role. The moto of Rotary is “Service Above Self.” and Pastor Mark feels that this relates well to his calling to serve his Lord and his neighbors. We appreciate Pastor Mark and the Shockey family for their ministry.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The St. Peter’s community contributed more than $1000 for the Arens family! You may still contribute either in the offering or at the button below. In June, Derek Arens was diagnosed with cancer. Following surgery, he has been undergoing chemo treatments through the summer months. His treatment plan doesn’t allow him to work continuously and his work place benefits don't include short term income protection. A family friend has organized a fundraiser to give Derek and Amanda financial assistance with rising medical bills, insurance costs, and travel expenses to and from Mayo. Derek and his family are thankful for all of the blessings they have received to date from family and friends. If you would like to donate to the fundraiser use the link below OR you can contribute through the St. Peter’s Family Care Ministry and we will get those to the family. Please continue to keep Derek, Amanda, Dean, and Evie in your prayers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Our Men’s Bible Study group is going back in history! And we invite you to join us on Friday mornings at 7:30am. An old aphorism states, “You can’t know where you are going unless you know where you have been.” The knowledge of history impacts the present and the future. Christ’s church does not escape this truth. And that history is rooted in the most dynamic moment in the history of the world: the incarnation of the Son of God. The study runs for 12 weeks - or longer - history is still being made! This is a hybrid study - you may also Zoom in to participate. Details at the link below.</image:caption>

A family friend has organized a fundraiser to give Derek and Amanda financial assistance with rising medical bills, insurance costs, and travel expenses to and from Mayo. Derek and his family are thankful for all of the blessings they have received to date from family and friends.

      <image:caption>This fall, join us at St. Peter’s for a new message series, “I Love My Neighborhood.” We will discover how Christians can be a welcome influence in our neighborhoods. God has placed us right where He wants us! You will pick up some practical, Biblical ways that you can make a difference right where you live and be a welcome influence upon your neighbors. On September 24, we will kick off the series and prepare for National Good Neighbor Day, September 28. Did you know President Jimmy Carter signed a nationwide proclamation to promote the idea of good neighboring? What a great week to start. Why not invite a neighbor to join you next Sunday as you seek to love your neighborhood.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In June, Derek Arens was diagnosed with cancer. Following surgery, he has been undergoing chemo treatments through the summer months. His treatment plan doesn’t allow him to work continuously and his work place benefits don't include short term income protection. A family friend has organized a fundraiser to give Derek and Amanda financial assistance with rising medical bills, insurance costs, and travel expenses to and from Mayo. Derek and his family are thankful for all of the blessings they have received to date from family and friends. If you would like to donate to the fundraiser use the link below OR you can contribute through the St. Peter’s Family Care Ministry and we will get those to the family. Please continue to keep Derek, Amanda, Dean, and Evie in your prayers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pastor Mark and brothers and sisters at STP, I am still residing in the Transitional Care Unit (TCU) at Minnesota Masonic Home. I am extending my stay until September 21 or 22nd. I am working hard in physical therapy and occupational therapy. I am so thankful for the many encouraging cards and birthday cards that I have received. Many STP friends have visited me and that has meant the world to me. Thank you for praying for me! ‘Be Still and Know That I Am God' in Psalm 46:10 is the Bible verse that I am claiming.’ Psalm 46 is a beloved passage in which the psalmist declared that no matter what was happening around him, God was his refuge and strength. Safe in the assurance that he is God, we can wait on him even amid chaos. He is still on his throne. I miss not going to church, singing with our fabulous worship team, attending Bible study and all of you at STP. With much love, Ann Weber Masonic Home Room E246-1 11501 Masonic Home Drive Bloomington, MN 55437</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Every day St. Peter’s teachers make a difference in the lives of children - which means we are also impacting families with love and faith and learning. We are searching for additional teachers to be part of our 6 week to 6-year-old teaching team. St. Peter’s Early Childhood Education Center is all about learning. This is an exciting week in our center as the older students have moved on to Kindergarten (bless them &amp; keep them safe Lord!) and our classroom configuration will look a bit different. We are also welcoming 4 new infants tomorrow and reopening a classroom for these little friends. Please share this link with someone with a heart for little ones:</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Here is the action step for you this week. Want to pray for students, teachers, families at the beginning of the school year? Here is a Biblical tool for the next 5 days. Educators taught you so much more than the 3 R’s of reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic. The values at the core of your character may reflect the lessons you learned from educators—teachers, coaches, mentors, and parents—who were rooted in God’s Word. Revisit the 5 R’s we learned from some educators that adds value to our lives well beyond our school years.</image:caption>

We will observe locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then we will visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin. We will visit the garden where we are reminded of the empty tomb, then looking to the hillside, recall Jesus Ascension where He would commission His disciples. Interested in participating but the cost causing you to think it wouldn’t be possible? One of our members has offered to pay up to half of the cost of the trip for a member to attend. Reach out to Pastor Mark if that would make a difference for your participation - or for another person you could invite. View more details about the trip below.

      <image:caption>The Disciples had a front row seat to the ministry of Jesus. He taught them. He prepared them. He changed their lives. On this 10-day tour, we will begin with the calling of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. You are invited to join Pastor Mark and Joann on a trip to Israel. We will observe locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then we will visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin. We will visit the garden where we are reminded of the empty tomb, then looking to the hillside, recall Jesus Ascension where He would commission His disciples. Interested in participating but the cost causing you to think it wouldn’t be possible? One of our members has offered to pay up to half of the cost of the trip for a member to attend. Reach out to Pastor Mark if that would make a difference for your participation - or for another person you could invite. View more details about the trip below.

On this 10-day tour, we will begin with the calling of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. We will observe locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then we will visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin. We will visit the garden where we are reminded of the empty tomb, then looking to the hillside, recall Jesus Ascension where He would commission His disciples. You are invited to join Pastor Mark and Joann on this trip with your Bible in hand. Interested in participating but the cost causing you to think it wouldn’t be possible?

      <image:caption>10 years ago, St. Peter’s began a partnership with an LCMS Congregation in Chula Vista, CA. They provided guidance as we launched our FamJam Sunday family service. Through the years, we have supported each other as sister congregations. We have been challenged to walk with them as they seek to provide Spanish Hymnals for a mission church in Tiajuana, Mexico. Concordia Publishing House is offering the new Spanish hymnal (Himnario Luterano) for $10 for mission churches (That is $20 off!) Each church / or individual member may purchase up to a case (24) at this price. If you would like to participate, there are two options: 1) Put a $10 gift in the offering (for each hymnal you want to purchase) designated “Spanish Hymnal” 2) Use the form on the button below to purchase hymnals directly from CPH. If you use this option, please have them shipped to the church: Concordia Lutheran, 1695 Discovery Falls Dr., Chula Vista, CA, 91915 (Let Pastor Mark know if you use this option so that we can track our St. Peter’s mission efforts.)</image:caption>

It will help you to read the Old Testament to see different pictures of Jesus as revealed through this prophecy. A video each week of the 6-sessions weaves together these images from Zechariah with other Old Testament texts, to show their fulfillment in Jesus in the Gospels. This group is designed for men of all ages to strengthen their faith in God and friendships with each other through learning about the Bible.

      <image:caption>What is the first step to a life of simplicity? Join fellow worshippers to go a little deeper into additional Scripture verses that talk about forgiveness, and the way the Spirit will unclutter your soul. It begins after worship in the Discipleship Room to the right as you leave the sanctuary. Pick up some refreshments on your way in. We have Life Application Bibles at each table.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Disciples had a front row seat to the ministry of Jesus. He taught them. He prepared them. He changed their lives. Is it time to deepen your Biblical faith? On this 10 day tour, we will begin with the calling of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. We will observe locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then we will visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin. We will visit the garden where we are reminded of the empty tomb, then looking to the hillside, recall Jesus Ascension where He would commission His disciples. You are invited to join us with your Bible in hand. Interested in participating but the cost causing you to think it wouldn’t be possible? On of our members has offered to pay up to half of the cost of the trip for a member to attend. Reach out to Pastor Mark if that would make a difference for your participation - or for another person. View more details about the trip below. You may also pick up a printed copy at the Welcome Center.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts, and beliefs around ourselves. “It’s all about you!” we are encouraged to think. In the world’s philosophy, we become the author and hero of our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one where another hero—the actual Author of life—takes center stage. In the book of Job, God reminds us that we exist not for ourselves but to glorify the God who deserves all worship and praise. This group is designed for men of all ages to strengthen their faith in God and friendships with each other through learning about the Bible. Bring a Bible. We use a combination of open verse by verse reading and video message to challenge us as we live out our lives and seek to be Godly men.  Fridays 7:30-8:30am in the Discipleship Room at St. Peter’s.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Disciples had a front row seat to the ministry of Jesus. He taught them. He prepared them. He changed their lives. Is it time to deepen your Biblical faith? On this 10 day tour, we will begin with the calling of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. We will observe locations where Jesus worked signs and wonders among the people. Then we will visit Jerusalem where Jesus would offer Himself as the full sacrifice for our sin. We will visit the garden where we are reminded of the empty tomb, then looking to the hillside, recall Jesus Ascension where He would commission His disciples. You are invited to join us with your Bible in hand. Interested in participating but the cost causing you to think it wouldn’t be possible? On of our members has offered to pay up to half of the cost of the trip for a member to attend. Reach out to Pastor Mark if that would make a difference for your participation - or for another person. View more details about the trip below. You may also pick up a printed copy at the Welcome Center.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts, and beliefs around ourselves. “It’s all about you!” we are encouraged to think. In the world’s philosophy, we become the author and hero of our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one where another hero—the actual Author of life—takes center stage. In the book of Job, God reminds us that we exist not for ourselves but to glorify the God who deserves all worship and praise. This group is designed for men of all ages to strengthen their faith in God and friendships with each other through learning about the Bible. Bring a Bible. We use a combination of open verse by verse reading and video message to challenge us as we live out our lives and seek to be Godly men.  Fridays 7:30-8:30am in the Discipleship Room at St. Peter’s.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (5-14-23) - LCMS National Offering July 2023</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ever since the days of Genesis 11, the idea of “all people” has included different languages and dialects. Because the Scriptures were written in Greek and Hebrew, most of us have heard the Word thanks to the diligent work of translators and interpreters. God has blessed us with His Word in our native language. It’s easy to forget that God did not reveal Himself in English. Even Luther did not speak English. Yet our lives are thus enriched by all of the English materials and resources that we read each day, especially those that bring to us God’s Word. As the church exists throughout the world, so the Gospel goes forth to all people in all languages. The purpose and goal of the 2023–2026 LCMS National Offering is to produce meaningful Lutheran resources in other languages so that all may read, hear and speak the Good News of Christ crucified. Prayerfully consider a gift, to be gathered at St. Peter’s in July, leading up to the 2023 LCMS convention in Milwaukee. All are invited and encouraged to participate, as the Lord allows. Mark your gift LCMS Offering.</image:caption>

You are invited to join us with your Bible in hand. View more details about the trip below. You may also pick up a printed copy at the Welcome Center.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (5-7-23) - LCMS National Offering July 2023</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ever since the days of Genesis 11, the idea of “all people” has included different languages and dialects. Because the Scriptures were written in Greek and Hebrew, most of us have heard the Word thanks to the diligent work of translators and interpreters. God has blessed us with His Word in our native language. It’s easy to forget that God did not reveal Himself in English. Even Luther did not speak English. Yet our lives are thus enriched by all of the English materials and resources that we read each day, especially those that bring to us God’s Word. As the church exists throughout the world, so the Gospel goes forth to all people in all languages. The purpose and goal of the 2023–2026 LCMS National Offering is to produce meaningful Lutheran resources in other languages so that all may read, hear and speak the Good News of Christ crucified. Prayerfully consider a gift, to be gathered at St. Peter’s in July, leading up to the 2023 LCMS convention in Milwaukee. All are invited and encouraged to participate, as the Lord allows. Mark your gift LCMS Offering.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pentecost reminds us that God brings people together as believers from many tongues and nations. We got to know Marjorie when she was a caregiver helping Hazel and Harland Kuhlman several years ago. After attending worship and a number of Bible Studies and small groups, she became a church member, enriching our fellowship. Marjorie suffered a stroke which has made communication difficult. She has decided it is time to return to her native land of Zambia to live with her sister at the end of the month. We will forever consider their family part of the Kuhlman family and the St. Peter’s family. Enjoy some cake today in Marjorie’s honor and extend God’s blessing over her for her travel and homecoming. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (4-9-23) - Anxious For Nothing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Over the past few decades, studies have shown that Americans are the most anxious people in the world. We take the most medication for it, see doctors to treat it, and spend fortunes trying to relieve it. How have we let our fears get the better of us? In Anxious for Nothing, Max Lucado leads readers to reflect on the promises of Philippians 4:4-8. This passage from Paul's epistle contains an antidote to anxiety that will help you develop a mindset of resilience. Join Tim &amp; Elizabeth Gaudineer who will serve as hosts in the Discipleship Room every Wednesday from 10:00-11:30am.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In partnership with the Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans, St. Peter’s will again be hosting a blood drive on Thursday, April 27. The American Red Cross sets up a donation center all afternoon in our sanctuary. Make a difference in the lives of young and old alike by donating. Many appointments are available, but they will fill up quickly. Appointments get priority over walk-ins — an sometimes there have been so many here from the community that we have had to turn blood donors away. We simultaneously have a used electronics, clothing, and food drive. All donations support veteran causes - providing clothing for job interviews and family members, and food to set up apartments for veterans after being released from the VA. Spring cleaning anyone???</image:caption>

      <image:caption>St. Peter's is participating in a national study “Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations” with the University of Minnesota and the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. This study explores the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on hundreds of Christian churches in the United States. It includes in-depth studies of how churches have engaged the challenges and opportunities presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and how churches continue to adapt and change. As part of this research, you are invited to take this survey. It should take about 12-15 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous and confidential. This is a valuable opportunity for St. Peter's attenders to share experiences and thoughts that will contribute to a better understanding of congregational life and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Paper copies are available at the Welcome Center.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Announcements - Announcements (9-25-22) - Lutheran Life Survey</image:title>
      <image:caption>Make your views known in the 2022 Lutheran Religious Life Survey. The Lutheran Religious Life Survey (LRLS) is an large sample survey of LCMS laypeople and pastors. Put simply, this survey is an opportunity for LCMS members to tell some of their story, express their views about various topics, and help Lutheran churches and organizations better understand our church. This is important because major public religious surveys often have only very small samples of LCMS members in them, meaning that the LCMS as a church body is not very well-represented.  The LRLS is being conducted to facilitate research on American religious life. A COMPANION SURVEY is being fielded of non-Lutherans to enable comparisons.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What To Expect - Our Service</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sunday - 9:30am At St. Peter’s our focus is on family and our service is designed with that in mind. It begins with with the praise team leading the church in music. Song lyrics are projected onto the screen so you can sign along and/or engage with worship, however you feel comfortable. After a welcome from our pastor, we watch a Bible-based video relating to our theme. Then our youngest worshipers are invited to STP Kids while adults hear an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus. The STP Kids will then return to the sanctuary for the end the service where we pray and a hymn is played on the organ. Services typically last 45 minutes to an hour.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What To Expect - Kids</image:title>
      <image:caption>Young people are active and curious! So St. Peter’s provides fun, age-appropriate, Bible-based activities and teaching for our youngest disciples. We call it STP Kids. We all learn the same Biblical truth each week. During every service, kids from wiggly waddlers to 5th graders are invited to go with licensed teachers to an age-appropriate activity room located right beside the sanctuary. There they will learn about our theme for the week, do some fun activities, sing some songs, and grow in their knowledge of God. They will then return to the sanctuary to be with their family for the end of the service.</image:caption>
