Leader: Pastor Nate

Join Pastor Nate as he guides you through the major teachings of the ancient church, including the Trinity (Father-Son-Holy Spirit), the Sacraments (Baptism-Lord’s Supper), the message of the Bible, the life of the Church, etc. Also included is vital information to help you get connected with the family of believers at St. Peter’s – and beyond! Christ’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to the church is that we would CONNECT with His Word and Sacraments in worship with fellow believers, that we would GROW in our understanding of His truth, and that we would SHARE this good news with a world starving for answers and dying to live. Fundamentals of Faith is a great place to start!

“I just don’t agree… Don’t bring that up... I’ve been hurt...” Those responses after we share the Word of God is like running into a stone wall.  We hear them from people we love, our neighbor who needs God, and even in our own thoughts. Because of this we struggle with what to do next. The “hardness of heart” that we each bear is like callouses or pieces of armor around our spiritual hearts that prevent receiving God’s true word. In this class Pastor McDowell will share what the Bible says about the “hardness of heart,” how we can soften our hearts, and speak of God’s love to those who have armored against it.

A good nap, a relaxing vacation, or a long talk with a close friend are all refreshing ways to restore your body when you are physically or emotionally tired, but what if all the usual remedies leave you feeling empty? In those times, you may be soul tired. Come to the Soul Spa. Building on the Soul Spa menu we started next spring, you will develop renewing habits and practices that will help you see God more clearly and respond to His love. Dress comfortably, grab a cozy chair, and, most importantly, bring your exhausted, fatigued, and shattered soul to the Father who promises to restore it.

Face it & plan it! While death is our enemy, we as Christians do not have to fear it! Take control as you recognize you get to prepare a beautiful Christ-centered service to encourage and bless those you love most. Let’s sing our favorite hymns together, read the most comforting scripture passages together, talk about some unknowns, and write down potential plans that can be added to your St. Peter’s record. 

Death is not the end for Christians so, let’s face it, and plan it. Recognize the joyful opportunity you have to be a witness of our resurrection in Christ while we can still celebrate each new day He blesses us with life.

Church Gym

Drums Alive is a program that utilizes “whole brain – whole body” thinking by developing sensory motor reflexes and kinesthetic awareness. The physiological and psychological benefits are numerous including those found in traditional forms of aerobic fitness. Drumming has also been found to improve and increase the neurological connection between the 2 brain hemispheres, stimulating Alpha brain wave activity which can lead to higher levels of concentration, sensory/motor improvement, and an overall sense of well being. In Drums of Praise, Certified Drums Alive Coach, Alicia Rodenbeck, will lead participants through a short meditation on a verse highlighting God's Masterwork in the human body before leading a fun and uplifting drumming workout suitable for all ages and abilities. Come to drum away some stress or to dance and find some joy!
