In Our Prayers: This week we will be praying for these St. Peter alumni who graduated from our school:
Harrison Wardin, class of 2011;
Haylee Bauer, class of 2017;
Heather Reinke, class of 2016 and
Hunter Fehn, class of 2015.
Devotion of the Week: Keys of the Kingdom Bible verse from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." This is a fitting verse in this season of Thanksgiving because we have much to be thankful for, but it is sometimes difficult to be thankful "in all circumstances." How thankful are you during these times (which would be included in all circumstances):
- Stuck behind a slow driver when you are in a hurry to get to your destination
- Having to go to the doctor due to an illness or injury
- Waiting for a test result to determine if you have cancer or not
- Having many bills to pay with little left over to purchase your children Christmas presents this year
This list could go on and on and there are many circumstances which cause us to wonder, "Why is this happening to me?" And yet, we are told to give thanks in all circumstances. That is because our given situation in life, no matter what it is, in only temporary. We are living with 100% confidence that we will have eternal life in perfect peace and harmony with all of the saints. Knowing that, and knowing that we can pray continually for comfort, peace, and support from our heavenly Father, gives us confidence to be thankful in all circumstances because we are forgiven and redeemed children of God. God's blessings as you celebrate Thanksgiving not only this Thursday, but each and every day, in all circumstances.

Today at chapel, our 5th-6th graders presented the message and talked about many of the features and symbols in our church. One of the things that they said was a great summary as to why we have a Lutheran school:
"Today is Parents’ Day and we are thankful to our parents for sending us to a Lutheran School where we are nurtured and educated in a Christ-centered environment. Through the guidance of you, our parents, and the teachers, we learn to interpret our world in the light of God’s Word. Proverbs 22:6 states, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Through our daily contact with God’s Word and our weekly chapel services, we pray that we will remain
Anchored in Christ
through the power of the Holy Spirit throughout our entire lives."
