Graduation

Graduation for our 8th graders is set for May 26th in the church sanctuary starting at 7pm. We look forward to celebrating our graduating class of 2021 and wish them all the best as they begin the next step in their educational journey!

1st Grade Chapel

Our first graders led us in chapel this past week with the story of Jonah. Certainly, many times in our own lives we stray away from God's plan for our own lives. A great reminder from our students that even though God does not redirect us with swallowing us in a whale, we should always seek His will for our lives!

New members in 4th Grade!

Chickens have invaded our 4th grade classroom and taken over many hearts. They are great listeners during math and usually dont talk too loud. They even get to enjoy recess with our kids outside on beautiful days!

Conner Prairie Field Trip

This past Thursday, our 4th graders traveled down to Connor Prairie for their annual field trip. While at Conner Prairie students get a chance to see how people lived here in Indiana along the White River in the 19th Century. A hot and gorgeous day!

3rd Grade Field Trip to Black Pine Animal Sanctuary

Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh MY! 3rd Grade enjoyed the day today up north at Black Pine exploring and learning more about different animals who live at the sanctuary. As one third grader exclaimed upon return, "That was the best day of my LIFE!"

Middle School Honors Lunch

This afternoon we welcomed parents and students in for a special lunch to celebrate their academic success throughout the whole year. These students stayed on honor roll or on honorable mention for all 3 quarters so far. Especially during a challenging year, this is no small feat. Congratulations to all of our students honored today!

Sharks and Frogs!

Our 7th and 8th graders were able to join together for dissections this past week. Mrs. Lunz guided our students through dissecting both sharks and frogs since our 8th graders missed out on this chance to bring science to life last year.

10th Annual Art Show!

Today was the 10th Annual St. Peter's Art Show. With last years being pushed virtual, Mrs. Koenig and the students really outdid themselves this year! So many great pieces of art from throughout this year were on display. If you missed the Art Show today, it will be up and open after church services on both Saturday and Sunday. Feel free to walk through and see all the artistic abilities our students have been blessed with!

BARNYARD BALL WAS A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped pull off the BARNYARD BALL. The 7th and 8th Graders danced the night away and made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you to the PTL, for helping sponsor the event.

A HUGE SHOUTOUT to Jerry and Ruth Ehle for graciously offering their beautiful homestead to host our dance. They truly went out of their way and helped create a magical experience. The Ehle Event Center was the perfect backdrop for our BALL. Please enjoy just a few pictures from our evening.

WORSHIP

Pastor's Sermon

Pastor Steve Ahlersmeyer is preaching this weekend. His sermon is titled, "You've Got a Friend". Please take some time to prepare for worship by reading the Bible passages before attending church.

Old Testament - Ezekiel 37:1-14

Second Reading - Acts 2:1-21

Holy Gospel - John 15:26-27; 16:4-15

Stepping Stone Worship

This week in Stepping Stones, we’re playing some Bingo and eating some Ice Cream! This last year has been an amazing journey that has allowed us to explore our Lutheran heritage and get to know our service better.

Given that this coming Monday is our last service, before transitioning to our regular Monday night worship throughout the Summer, we decided to work our way through what we’ve learned throughout Stepping Stones with a little game of Bingo. Following this, we will celebrate all that we have accomplished throughout the year with Ice Cream and Sundaes. Come join us for our last Stepping Stones service this year on Monday at 6:00 pm where you can have a Sundae on Monday!

Vacation Bible School Now Open

June 27 - July 1 - 6:30-8:30 pm

Live and in person! We are excited to announce that this summer's VBS will be offered "Family-Style." Families will register as a group with a designated adult leader.

Rather than mixing the students for the week, they will remain in their family unit as they rotate through fun stations where we will learn about how Treasured and priceless we are to God.
