Faith Formation News

New Thursday Bible Study: 1 and 2 Peter

This month we begin a six-week study of 1 and 2 Peter, meeting every Thursday through July 2 at 3:00 PM. Sessions will also be recorded and available online for those who cannot attend in person.

Peter wrote to Christians who were scattered, struggling, and living as strangers in a culture that no longer shared their faith. His letters are full of hard-won pastoral wisdom: how to hold onto living hope when life is difficult, how to live faithfully in a world that

doesn't understand you, and how to stand firm when your faith is tested. These are not questions that belong only to the first century.

Over the six weeks we will work through both letters carefully, letting Peter speak on his own terms before we ask what he is saying to us. Bring your Bible. All are welcome.

New Photo Directory is COMING

St. Peter is now taking snapshot photos for a new St. Peter directory of both members and regular visitors. Most photos are in, but waiting on several for shut-in members. If you have not had photos taken & want to be included, contact Griffin no later than June 7 at StPeter78626@gmail.com. Hope to distribute in June.

VBS will be at St. Peter from Mon., 6/15 thru Thu., 6/18; and again at the Sunny Creek Mobile Home Park from Tue., 7/28 thru Thu., 7/30 for children, ages 5 - 12.
