In Our Prayers: This week we will be praying for these St. Peter alumni who graduated from our school: Ryan Wardin, class of 2011; Ryleigh Sullivan, class of 2019; Ryleigh Beyersdorf, class of 2013; Samantha Krauss, 2013.

Devotion of the Week: Our September hymn of the month is from LSB 861, Christ Be My Leader. We sang this song in chapel on Wednesday and will continue to sing it weekly in the month of September. The words in verse three are very fitting with our theme for this year as it points us to Jesus:

Among everything going on in our world, the words strife, darkness, doubting and sinning are definitely relevant. We may wonder if things can actually get worse, but we know that the toll of sin has destroyed the perfection of God's created world. Take a look back in Genesis 3; we know that the sin of Adam and Eve changed the world from perfection to corruption due to sin, and we face the consequences daily. Thanks be to God that we have a school that teaches children about the cure for the sin in our world, Jesus. We are thankful and blessed to have started our 140^th year of Christian education at St. Peter Lutheran School. Despite the chaos and craziness going on all around us, St. Peter still provides a place that points children to Christ, our Leader, our Anchor, our Cornerstone! This is a time in history that none of us have ever lived through, but it is such a comfort to know that our children and families are surrounded by God’s grace and mercy. He will continue to lead us as we are pointed to Jesus, our Savior from sin, death, and the devil, as we are guided by our theme this year, Christ is our Cornerstone.

Our Condolences: Our prayers are with Aaron and Pamela Hales, Samantha, Katie and Andrew upon the death of Pamela's brother, Benjamin Welke. May God give comfort and peace to the family.

New Air Purifiers in All Classrooms: We had a very generous donation from Mr. Scott Baldauf, St. Peter Class of 1998 and in Mr. Hagenow's first class at St. Peter in 1996-1997). We received 18 new Medify Air MA-40 Purification units along with an extra filter for each unit. This is a very highly rated unit with H13 HEPA filtration, cleans 840 square feet every 30 minutes, and the filters last for 2,500 hours. We appreciate this donation to provide another level of keeping our students, faculty and staff healthy.

Thank You Parents: We really appreciate all of our parents taking the special precautions and daily health checks before sending children to school. Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Flashlight Friday: The first graders were able to have some fun last Friday with Flashlight Friday!

Artists at Work: The Young 5's and Kindergartners had some fun with water painting this week.

School Pictures: School pictures will be taken on September 22 and retake day is October 20. Preschoolers who do not attend on Tuesdays may come in the morning that day to have their school pictures taken.
