LOVING PEOPLE, SERVING THE WORLD - FAMILY TIES, May 25, 2016
This weekend we conclude our sermon series on God's Virtues For Your Life. This week's key is Joy with a sermon title of "Designed for Joy, Engineered to Last."
Pastor of Young Adult Ministries
St. Peter requested a graduating candidate from the Concordia Seminary, St. Louis for the position of Pastor of Young Adult Ministries. We were not given a candidate. While it was disappointing we trust that this is God's plan and direction in the process to fill this position. As a result we will seek a candidate from the field that is currently serving as a pastor. In keeping with our by-laws we are formally soliciting nominees from the St. Peter congregation. Please forward the name and current place of ministry that your nominee is serving to
