AN INVITATION TO A HEALING SERVICE
During St. Peter’s regular worship time on November 10, we will be offering a Healing Service. As individuals, a congregation, citizens, neighbors and as a global community, many are having a variety experiences of pain, hurt, fear, brokenness, and darkness: A scary diagnosis, broken relationships, emotional distress, mental illness, physical challenges and other experiences that bring tears to our eyes, our hearts to break and our spirits to tremble. In all these experiences and more, God desires for us to know the healing power of God’s presence.
As we gather for worship, we gather as broken, vulnerable, eager and faithful Children of God, trusting in God’s faithfulness. We gather seeking healing for all that breaks us apart. We gather, even in our brokenness, to worship together, the one who invites all “who are weary and carrying heavy burdens.” And with God’s help, may we find rest.
UPDATE FROM THE TRANSITION TEAM
"A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great" (Proverbs 18:16 NIV).
Given that Saint Peter Lutheran Church has spent the past few years in transition, we see this fall’s Stewardship Appeal as an opportunity for renewal. For starting again with an eye toward the gifts God has given us. Inspired by the 2024 Transition Team’s spiritual gifts chart in the Narthex, the Stewardship Team is asking all of us at Saint Peter to consider how God is calling us to use our gifts in 2025.
Last Sunday, you heard from longtime StPLC Member Bruce Stokes about his experience teaching Sunday School over the years. He also invited us to dream. How can Saint Peter lean into our strong spiritual gifts of service, hospitality, music, and faith to enhance our church’s Faith Formation offerings?
This next week, you will receive a commitment card and a letter in your mailbox outlining the Stewardship Team’s goals for the 2025 Gifted to Give Appeal. Please take the time to review and join us on Sunday, November 17th for Commitment Sunday. If you would prefer to complete an online form, please come to www.stplc.org/stewardship to confidentially inform the Financial Secretary know about your 2025 giving plans.
This is an invitation for you to participate and to support the ministry happening through StPLC. Please prayerfully consider how God is calling you to live more fully into Saint Peter’s gifts.
Sincerely,
The Stewardship Team (Cathy Dundon, Angie Kleberger, Sara Lancaster, Lynn Sherpe, and Pastor Michael TeKrony)
