Today’s themes was “Jesus teaches me.” We memorized Psalm 25:5 (“Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are my God and my salvation.”) and learned about Jesus calling Peter, James, and John to be fishers of men.

We had a great first day at Gangway to Galilee Vacation Bible School! Lots of excited children, great helpers, substantial curriculum, and dedicated teachers made for a fantastic start.

 

The 1975 Anniversary Booklet has been added to our digital archives.  It is another one of those publications which offers a slice of life of the church at that time, and a colorful time it was, indeed!  Check it out to take in information on the history of the congregation and to see some of the fun fashions and hairstyles of that era!

This morning we added a new page to our website: a Digital Archive!  Saint Peter’s has a rich history, and we are proud to show it to the world.

The first artifact in our Digital Archive is a PDF of our 1949 Church Building Dedication booklet.  It is one of the most treasured publications in the history of Saint Peter’s, and it gives a great “slice of life” for both the congregation and the community at the time.

On Saturday, June 14, we held our first VBS Registration Block Party, which also coincided with Forestville’s Flag Day Parade. We contributed a VBS themed float to the parade, gave the area’s children some good fun with a bouncy house and balloon animals, and collected some VBS registrations.  A great day.

Did you miss out on our Registration Block Party but would still like to be a part of our VBS, July 14-20?  You still have time to register online at our dedicated VBS website:  www.stpetersvbs.weebly.com.
