Thank You, Veterans!
Be sure to check out this week’s issue of Our Life Together for a list of Saint Peter military members and veterans along with some of our community’s family members who also served. If you should be on the list, be sure to let the church office know so we can recognize you in the future.
And another “thank you” to Vicky Daub of Veterans Service Corp. Project for sharing a sermon and information about her organization last Sunday. Look for flyers in the Narthex. It was good to see so many faces in the Narthex enjoying fellowship after the in-person worship service, too!

Be Part Of The Faith Forum ‘Care For Creation’ Conversation
The fall semester Faith Forum is focused on a series entitled, "Earthbound; Created + Called to Care for Creation.” So far, we have explored:
God’s call for us to live as caretakers of creation.
The differences between pantheism vs panentheism. In Greek, pan means "all," theos means "god," and en means "in." Pantheism means that all is God; panentheism, that all is in God.
What “dominion over” really means in Genesis.
How all of creation is interconnected and to distinguish our individualism from our responsibility to serve the common good.
Participants of all ages are welcome either in-person in the Fellowship Hall or online via Zoom at 9:00 a.m. Please note that the Zoom link for Faith Forum is different from the Worship Zoom link. Use this link to access the video and discussion.

RTLC AND COLORADO GIVES DAY
Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, December 7th! And this is a HUGE day for Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp. The money raised on this day helps the camp provide cozy, welcoming facilities and top-notch staff, as well as camperships so that no one will ever be turned away. In addition to your gift, there is $1.6 million that will be distributed to non-profits based on their percentage of the total raised on Colorado Gives Day. Rainbow Trail’s annual fund has been greatly affected by the land purchase capital appeal. Therefore, all the proceeds from Colorado Gives Day will go to Rainbow Trail’s annual fund. Last year they raised $108,537. They have set a goal of $89,000 for this year. You can pre-schedule your gift by going to the link and clicking the button to schedule your gift.
Give on December 7thand encourage your friends to do the same. Go to www.ColoradoGives.org/rainbowtrail to schedule your gift that will make a huge difference!
