Introducing New Staff

Michelle Leahy • May 5, 2025

On April 7, St. Peter's welcomed two new members to the church staff.

Janet Robison is now serving as our Director of Finance. She has been hard at work these past few weeks learning all she can about St. Peter's and our finances. You can reach her at extension 222 or email her at jrobison@stpetersfw.org. Janet comes to us with a degree in Accounting from IU and over a decade of experience. She and her husband Matt attend County Line Church with their three children, Josh, Kendall, and Madelyn. When she isn't at St. Peter's Janet enjoys her role as Mom Taxi and attending her kids' extra-curricular activities.


Feel free to stop by Rhonda Scott's old office to introduce yourself and welcome her to the St. Peter's family. If you have questions about things like giving, capital campaign pledges, reimbursements, offering envelopes, etc., Janet will be happy to help. (If you have questions about HR or other non-finance business matters, please continue to contact Michelle Leahy.)


Kyle Thompson also joined the team on the 7th. He is filling the position left by Rogan Thiele. Kyle is in a custodial role at the church, starting his day mid afternoon and staying into the evening. He is responsible for cleaning and helping with certain maintenance tasks. His supervisor is Paul Peterson. If you see Kyle around the church, please extend a warm welcome.

You are invited!

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.
