Fry-Day is Around the Corner

November 10, 2025

Just a short 11 days away!

Friday, November 21st | 4:30–7:00 PM | Church Gym – Door 1

We're about 75 tickets away from our goal!


Grab your forks, friends — we are less than two weeks away from the most anticipated culinary event of the fall: the All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry & Fellowship Night! That’s right, it’s happening FRY-day, November 21st, and if you don’t have your presale tickets yet, now’s the time to act faster than a cat at a goldfish pond.


Why? Because prices go up the day of, and let’s face it — even if you’re willing to pay more for the same tower of crispy, golden, perfectly seasoned goodness, you don’t have to. Presale tickets are a steal: only $13 for adults & teens, $11 for kids 6–12, and little ones 5 and under eat FREE (dine-in only — sorry, no baby drive-thrus).


And this isn’t just any fish fry. Oh no. This is hand-battered, freshly fried fish and chicken, plus homemade sides and desserts that taste like Grandma herself gave them the thumbs up. Not sure whether to go for chicken or fish? Here’s a pro tip: don’t decide — it’s all-you-can-eat, so grab both. Twice.


Here’s how to maximize your experience:


  1. Come hungry. Like, “I skipped lunch on purpose” hungry.
  2. Enter through Door 1. It’s your shortcut to skip the line and go straight into the gym — your happy place of fried joy.
  3. Bring cash or check if you plan to pay the day of. The church will accept online payments for presale tickets, but on November 21st, it’s strictly cash or check (no credit cards at the door).


Want to help even more? Add $1 to your online order to help cover card fees and support our Youth — because nothing says community spirit like eating your weight in fried fish for a good cause.


And yes, everyone’s invited! You don’t have to be a church member — you just have to love great food and good company. So go ahead — snag those presale tickets now before the price jumps. Then mark your calendar, loosen your belt, and prepare your taste buds. The countdown to Fish Fry Friday is on, and trust us — you don’t want to miss the most delicious night of the year.

Staffing Updates

By Pastor Danny Eggold • November 12, 2025
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
