In Our Prayers:
This week we will be praying for these St. Peter alumni who graduated from our school:
Dominick Dempsey
, class of 2012;
Drew Bauer
, class of 2016;
Eliana Behnke,
class of 2016 and
Elizabeth Ross
, class of 2012.
Devotion of the Week:
Keys of the Kingdom Bible verse from Luke 11:28, "But he said, 'Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!'" As our second graders received their Bibles on Sunday from their parents, we pray that they remain Anchored in Christ as they read, hear, learn, and study God's Word daily. There will be many temptations to reduce their excitement and desire to read their Bibles daily, but through the power of the Holy Spirit, may God bless their time with their Bibles as it builds their foundation of faith throughout their lives!

For our faculty devotions this week, Mr. Brian Heinlein shared a devotion on "A Mighty Fortress is our God" which is a great Reformation hymn. An interesting fact th
at he mentioned was that there is actually a fifth stanza to this hymn. In 1817, for the 300th Anniversary of the Reformation, an additional stanza was written and can now be found in our hymnal under a different number and tune (LSB 582): "God’s Word is our great heritage and shall be ours forever; to spread its light from age to age shall be our chief endeavor. Through life it guides our way. In death it is our stay. Lord, grant, while worlds endure we keep its teachings pure throughout all generations!"
