How Much for a Directory?

Church Office • May 27, 2025

Our online directory is updated with our new pictures, and you all look fantastic!

Thank you so much to everyone who got their picture taken, and I hope you enjoyed the digital image that was emailed to each head of household. If you got your picture taken but did not receive a copy of your digital picture, please call the church office to let us know. And another big thank you to all of our volunteers who made this possible. We couldn’t do things like this without people willing to say, “Yes, I’d love to help.”


There are quite a few of you already using Realm and able to access the online directory. Great job! You’ll see a lot of familiar faces who now have pictures to go with their names. Additionally, thank you for sharing with us how much you enjoy having access to all of the features of the Realm Connect app including your personal giving, communications with groups, weekly post updates such as birthdays, anniversaries, Elder's reports, and more.


Moving forward, you can upload your own individual and family picture anytime, so go ahead and keep it updated as often as you’d like. This is a great feature for those who missed getting a picture taken by one of our photographers. You can upload your own, or feel free to email a picture to churchoffice@stpetersfw.org and we’ll upload it for you. 


If you’ve never attempted to log into your Realm profile, you can find printed instructions in the Ministry Center by the kiosk, you can click HERE to watch the step-by-step how to video on our YouTube page (which can also be found below), or you can always call the church office to schedule time for some help. 


Lastly, we know we have some members that prefer a printed directory. In order to keep costs low, we’re able to print a current colored copy of the directory in-house for $12 per copy. We are taking preorders now through the church office during normal business hours, Mon-Fri, 9 am - 4 pm and hope to have those available starting June 9th. Please make checks payable to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church with the word “directory” in the memo.

I want to share a story, actually several stories. I remember when I was young in Tulsa, Oklahoma and in Fredericktown, Missouri, of going up to the altar rail with my parents and receiving a blessing from my pastor. I remember sticking my head in between the posts on the altar rail and the pastor giving me a blessing. I don't exactly remember the words, but I knew it was important and I wanted that blessing. I remember in confirmation learning about what the pastor was actually saying, what those words actually meant. To understand what God was saying in his scriptures and growing in it. Overall, just being absolutely amazed at what my pastors, Pastor Sean and Pastor Beering were teaching me and knowing God better and just the joyfulness of it. And I remember Lyndi going through confirmation, adult confirmation, with Pastor Schueler in Rosenberg, Texas, and then seeing from her eyes what it meant to be Lutheran, to understand the faith. I had grown up in the Lutheran church, so it was all ordinary for me, but for her it was extraordinary to know and to understand and have that time with a pastor. And I'm so thankful for the pastors in my life and all of the other church workers that have been a part of my life who have helped me to understand who God is. I mentioned in this weekend’s sermon that there's an initiative, a program through the LCMS called Set Apart to Serve. It points out that we have a lack of pastors, teachers, and other church workers. Set Apart to Serve reminds us that the Lord asks us to pray for laborers for the harvest, and I encourage you to pray for laborers for the harvest. To pray for those that teach us who God is and to help us to understand how much we need him. If you happen to know some young people considering church work or being pastors, pray for them, encourage them. God has gifted them to us to answer our questions. Pray fervently that the Lord would send workers into his harvest so that we know him. Keep that in your prayers. I encourage you to look for people who would be good to take God's calling into his church. May the Lord provide workers for His harvest that we may know God and how richly He blesses us. Amen.
