Celebrating our Graduates

Rooted in God's Love

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” – 3 John 1:4


As another school year comes to a close, we pause to celebrate a special group of young people—the graduating Class of 2025 from St. Peter’s Lutheran School. These students have spent their formative years growing in wisdom, building friendships, discovering their gifts, and most importantly, learning

what it means to walk in faith.


They’ve mastered math problems and book reports, tackled science labs and memory work, performed in musicals and participated in athletics—but among all they’ve achieved, the most important lesson we pray they carry forward is this: They are deeply loved by their Heavenly Father.


That truth has been woven into the fabric of their education every day—from whole school devotions and chapel services to classroom conversations and playground interactions. It is the foundation upon which all other learning is built.


Our prayer is that this foundation will remain strong as they move into high school and beyond. That in moments of uncertainty, they’ll remember who and whose they are. That in times of joy, they’ll give thanks to the One who blesses every good gift. And that in all things, they’ll continue to walk with Christ.


We thank our church family for your continued prayers, encouragement, and support of our students and our school. Your investment in Christian education truly changes lives for eternity.


Please join us in celebrating these young men and women and sending them off with our love and prayers. May they go confidently, knowing they are never alone—for their Heavenly Father goes with them, always. Together in Christ.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I hope this note finds you well and encouraged in the Lord. St. Peter’s continues to be a place where God is at work through our preschool, school, various ministries, and the daily faithfulness of His people. I am grateful to serve the Lord with you in this place! As we continue to serve together, I want to update you on changes in our church office and ministry staff. As many of you know, Michelle Leahy has been serving as our “Interim Director of Operations,” providing support and coordination across many areas of congregational life. In the coming weeks, Michelle will be stepping into a new role, “Executive Director.” This means her work will shift from hands-on ministry support to more administrative leadership and oversight of the church office, properties, finances, and technology. This is an important step for us as a congregation as we continue to support our staff and serve our members. With this change, we want to ensure that daily ministry needs are met. After reviewing our current staffing and budget, we can make an adjustment that supports the ongoing ministry without increasing costs. To that end, Kami Jo Mogelvang will expand her role to serve as “Church Ministry Coordinator.” Many of you have already seen Kami Jo assisting Pastor McDowell in youth ministry two days each week. Under the new alignment, she will: Continue serving in youth ministry, and Help coordinate ministry efforts and volunteer connections with Pastor Nate and Pastor McDowell across the congregation. This will help us strengthen volunteer support and the many “connecting points” that help our church family care for one another. As Kami Jo transitions out of her receptionist duties, this change will open about 18 hours per week at the front desk, which we have posted. This staffing arrangement stays within our approved 2025 budget. I am thankful for Michelle, Kami Jo, our staff, and all our volunteers. I also appreciate the spirit of grace and partnership that marks our congregation. Please keep our staff and ministry leaders in your prayers as we move through these transitions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for the privilege of serving Christ with you! In Christ, Pastor Danny Eggold St. Peter’s Lutheran Church & School
