In Our Prayers:
This week we will be praying for these St. Peter alumni who graduated from our school:
Justin Dilloway
, class of 2015;
Kaitlyn Dilleree
, class of 2016;
Kaleb Keel
, class of 2012; and
Karissa Hill
, class of 2019.
Devotion of the Week: The Keys to the Kingdom Bible verses for this week are John 8:31-32, "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, 'If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'" As we start this new year, 2020, these verses encourage us to be in God's Word daily. God's Word is truth and that truth sets us free. That freedom is found in the forgiveness of sins and the life eternal we are promised with our Savior in heaven. God's Word permeates what we do each day in our school and our students are nurtured in that Word. May God grant you the strength to abide in His Word daily so that you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free.

Garuna Kids Child Sponsorship: With our first quarter chapel offerings, we were able to sponsor three children in Cambodia:
Oundeoun Oukdom (Kindergarten),
Chan Reya (5th Grade), and
Kong Kosorl (3rd Grade). Our sponsorship provides support for these children to attend a Lutheran school, receive school supplies, a school uniform, and a Bible in their native language. May God bless these children as they learn about Jesus every day. Additional information about these students is being sent home today with your child or
you may click here to read more about these children.

As you read in the newsletter a few weeks ago, our 3rd-4th graders were involved in a
Pay It Forward project. They all chose some wonderful random acts of kindness to many different people. We had a similar thing happen right before Christmas. An anonymous donor gave money to pay part of the tuition, book fee, and child care balances for several of our families. What a blessing it is to have these types of random acts of kindness happening throughout our school. What might these inspire you to do?

At lunch students will eat on their beach towel with a sack lunch that includes a peanut butter and jelly uncrustable or turkey sandwich served with sun chips, carrots and strawberry lemonade.
No School on Monday, January 20: There is no school on January 20; the teachers will be at VLHS for their annual conference with other Lutheran school educators. Child care is available. Children (PS-8th grades) that will be here through the lunch hour will need to bring a lunch from home. The cost is $15/child half day (if dropped off and picked up by noon or dropped off after noon) or $30/child (for all day). Toddler Care remains the same.
