This is the second year that our youth catechism class cleaned gravestones at the St. Peter’s Cemetery. We use this as an opportunity to teach about our Christian hope in the Resurrection and as a means of serving our brothers and sisters in the faith.
Save the date (July 17-21) for A Might Fortress Vacation Bible School at St. Peter’s!
Our Vacation Bible School is always a fun and faith-building event. Your child will love taking part.

One of the nation’s preeminent bioethicists, Professor Meilaender has written extensively on the body, human identity, and the meaning of emerging technologies.

We live in an age of Tinder, Bruce Jenner, same-sex marriage, and hook-ups. Not to mention older challenges: divorce, cohabitation, and pornography. How has God’s re-creation of us in His image called us to a mind and life distinct in this world? The Hearts and Re-creation series will provide guidance through sermons, Bible studies, and a special presentation from renowned bioethicist Gilbert Meilaender.
I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2 ESV)
Today we focused on the theme “Jesus Give Me Faith,” and we learned about how Jesus gave Bartimaeus his sight.
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!
What a wonderful first day of Camp Discovery Vacation Bible School! A great group gathered as we focused on how “God gives us courage.” We learned about how God gave David courage to face Goliath, and so our craft was a slingshot.
