AN INTERVIEWING EXTRAVAGANZA UPDATE FROM THE CALL TEAM
After a slow start, the StPLC Call Team is happy to report that we have received five applications for Saint Peter's open pastor position so far. We have completed two first interviews, with one of those candidates showing great promise. We have three more first interviews scheduled for the coming weeks. Please continue to pray for the Call Team, the candidates, and our future pastor! The Call Team plans to take our time and complete as many interviews as possible to be as thorough as possible. We will update the congregation again soon. Questions? Reach out to callteam@stplc.org.
SIGN UP FOR DAY CAMP!
Day Camp is coming to Saint Peter July 7-10. All kids entering Preschool through 6th grade in the fall are invited and welcome. This year’s theme is "Crossfit" and is focused on the scripture of Matthew 16:24, "If anyone wants to be my disciple, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” We hope your child can join us for a fun-filled week! Register today! Contact Andy Mohrhaus (mohrhaus.a@gmail.com) with any questions.
CRAFTS AT SAINT PETER
Did you have a chance to peruse the Craft Fair on April 6? How fun to discover the artisans at Saint Peter! A portion of the proceeds will benefit Global Refuge. Thank you for your participation!
COVENANT CUPBOARD FOOD WAGON
Fill the Covenant Cupboard wagon with canned food and items for those in need. The wagon is near the organ. All are invited to support Covenant Cupboard with their weekly contributions!
FIRST COMMUNION INSTRUCTION
Coming to the Table of the Lord is a profound privilege. Children and adults are welcome. Our hope is, however, to instruct our little ones before they receive this powerful gift of Grace. Please consider coming with your child/ren to a three-hour session Saturday, April 12 from 9 a.m. to noon. If your child is curious or asking to receive Holy Communion it might be time to bring them to this instruction. Their First Communion would take place at worship on Palm Sunday, April 13. Please RSVP to the church office and let us know of your intention to attend the three-hour class on April 12.
