Dartball has become an annual favorite with the youth of St. Peter’s and St. John’s. If you are in 5th through 12th grade, you are invited to take part in our annual Dartball event. It will be held at St. Peter’s, Forestville, from 3 to 5 PM.

Guys, please bring a snacky item. Girls, please bring something to drink.

Did you miss tonight’s showing of Martin Luther: The Idea that Changed the World? You’re not alone. The event sold out, so many others would have loved to catch the film. Fortunately, there will be an encore presentation on Thursday, April 20. But, to get the movie to show, we need to have enough tickets sold beforehand. So, click on this link to secure your ticket and bring the movie back to Sturgeon Bay Cinema.

This year St. Peter’s and St. John’s have been trying to get their 5th through 8th graders together once a month for fun, fellowship, and devotions. On Sunday, March 26, we had eighteen kids show up to play dartball. We had a number of guests, and some kids visiting the village from Minnesota and France (!) came as well. Here are some pics of the fun.

 

International touring artist and Door County local Katie Dahl will perform at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Forestville on August 27 at 6:30 PM.

Katie has performed her original songs everywhere from the dusty cliff country of Mali, West Africa, to the winding canals of southern France, to the cedar forests of the American northwoods. The depth and power of Katie’s alto voice, the literate candor of her original songs, and the easy humor of her live performances have earned her numerous songwriting awards, as well as the chance to share stages with some of America’s most respected songwriters, including Dar Williams, Peter Mulvey, Julie Gold, and Cheryl Wheeler.

St. Peter’s Vacation Bible School, Barnyard Roundup, is set for July 25-29

Today we focused on the theme “Jesus Give Me Faith,” and we learned about how Jesus gave Bartimaeus his sight.

St. Peter’s recently completed a handicap accessibility project. Up until now, those with mobility problems could not easily participate in the life of the congregation. We had steps up into our sanctuary and down into our fellowship hall.  To fix this, we put in an elevator and automatic opening doors. There were a few other improvements made as well, such as the installation of a new tile floor. the renovation of a bathroom, and more.

To celebrate and to call attention to these improvements, we put on a great celebration. (Wisconsinites know how to party!) We hosted a chicken dinner, dedicated the elevator, and finally took in a great concert by Parks, Phillips, and Company. (Pastor Chris joined in to sing on the final song.)

We could not have done this without some incredible support from many people. Ruth Krueger very generously supported this project by a monetary donation. Don Krueger was an incredible leader in seeing this project through from beginning to end. Arnie Johnsrud, Nila Schley, and Joyce Bathke were the driving force behind the celebration. Many thanks to these and everyone else in this momentous point in St. Peter’s history!

Today we learned about Deborah and how, like her, God gives us wisdom to serve others. Today we hit the number of fifty kids involved. Pretty exciting for a little village church like us!
