Christ Is Our Cornerstone |

In Our Prayers: This week we will be praying for these St. Peter alumni who graduated from our school: Shane Howey, class of 2013 and Sierra Szagesh, also class of 2013.
Devotion of the Week: As we continue in our 140th year of St. Peter Lutheran School, it is wonderful to hear the things being taught in the classroom in 2020 that were also taught in 1881:
- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
- God created humans in His image.
- Jesus forgives our sins.
- Jesus died on the cross for us.
- Jesus rose from the dead!
- We will live eternally with Jesus.
- God is with us everywhere.
There are many differences between school in 1881 and 2020 but the most important topic continues to remain the same. Our children in our school are being nurtured and educated in many different subject areas, but the most important remains the daily reading and hearing of God's Word as children are pointed to Christ our Cornerstone. We are blessed to be in school where children are being taught about Jesus. That is great news, comforting news, and news that brings hope and peace!

God's Creation: The Young 5's and Kindergarteners were making animal creations during Jesus time to represent all the different animals God created, but remembered that we are his favorite creation of all.

SCRIP: The SCRIP Program raises money for St. Peter Lutheran School. SCRIP gift cards are purchased at face value from a list of stores and restaurants you normally frequent (and many more) and a percentage of that purchase comes back to St. Peter. For example, if you purchase a Meijer gift card for $100, you will receive a $100 Meijer gift card and St. Peter will receive 3% of that. Other examples – Macy’s gives back 10%, Red Lobster 8% and Bob Evans 10%. You receive the full value of your gift card purchase and raise money for St. Peter at the same time! Gift cards make great gifts for many different occasions. Call the school office (642.5659) to get more information on the SCRIP Program, to place an order, or to ask about the simple way to order SCRIP cards on line. Orders are sent in on the second Friday of each month and received at the school in approximately one week. If you need a gift in a hurry, the school office keeps a limited supply of $25 gift cards to local stores and restaurants that are available for purchase at any time. Call the school office to see what is available.

Volleyball: Our volleyball teams traveled to Midland last Friday night to take on the Crusaders. The girls played a combined team with both our A & B team players playing. The girls couldn't quite pullout a win finishing with a loss for the match (14-25, 8-25, and 24-26). On Monday, the girls hosted St. Paul for their first home game of the season. The B-team was able to capture their first win by defeating the Wildcats in the first two games of the match. The A-team gave a good effort but lost their match to St. Paul. On Wednesday, these two teams played again. The B-team was unable to defeat the Wildcats two matches in a row and lost their games. The A-team split the first two games and came up two points short in the third game and lost the match. Both teams are back in action Monday at home. Go Panthers!
Volleyball Games Rescheduled: The volleyball games that were scheduled for Sept. 2 have been rescheduled for Sept. 24. They are home games with the B-team starting at 4:30 followed by the A-game.

Soccer: The soccer team played against Bethlehem on Tuesday afternoon. Despite a good effort, the Panthers lost to the Chargers 0-3. On Wednesday, the Panthers hosted the Wildcats of Faith and it was a close game from start to finish. Maryn Hyatt scored the first goal of the game to give us a 1-0 lead for about half of the game, but Faith struck back with a goal of their own to tie it 1-1 which is also how it ended in a 1-1 tie. To complete their third game in three days, the Panthers hosted the Blue Jays on Thursday. Our young Panther squad had a hard time against the older Holy Cross team and lost 0-6. The soccer team hosts the other Panther team from Peace this Tuesday at 4:30 with the Panther Cup up for grabs again this year. Go Panthers!
Soccer Practices: The soccer team will practice this Monday, September 21 and Wednesday, September 23 from 4:00-5:15 at the church soccer field.
