Collections/Fundraiser (ongoing) 

• The Compassionate Care Collection is prepping hygiene kits for the Lutheran World Relief: The LWR collection will be through July and August--details can be found on the LWR.org/kits site or HERE. Needed are: light weight bath sized towels (between 20" x 40" to 27" x52"), bath-size soap bars in original wrapper, adult toothbrush, sturdy comb, metal nail clippers--all items must be new and NOT have religious symbols or patriotic decoration.
• Special Monthly Offering: We continue to collect for our Heritage Collection which is an exciting venture not only to meet the requirements for the grant given to us by The Lutheran Foundation to create an appropriate space for our historical archives, but also for us to begin preparations for our 175th anniversary as St. Peter's! Learn more HERE.

Youth, we would love to know what activities, events, and experiences you enjoy and look forward to as part of the St. Peter’s youth group. Parents, we welcome your input on what you hope your child will learn, experience, and gain through participation in the youth group this year.

Sub sandwiches and beverages will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!

Sisters in Christ

Wednesday, July 15th from 6-8 pm in the Cornerstone Room

Ever wanted to learn how to make homemade mozzarella cheese? Me too! Member, Miranda Meyer, will lead us in an easy recipe for fresh cheese. We’ll also be making pizzas (with our fresh mozzarella) to eat and to take home and freeze. Miranda will be collaborating with Blu Flame’s Chef Renee who will be here onsite with us to share her cooking knowledge. They’ll also have a take-home gift for anyone who registers. The pasta class Miranda did for us sold out! Limited space is available for this one so be sure to get yourself registered early! This event does take a few ingredients so we’re asking for donations at the door of $1-5 to cover the cost. REGISTER HERE 

We also gather the last Wednesday each month (July 29th) at 5:00 pm Kekionga Craft Co, 7328 Maysville Rd. Come & go. Enjoy a little fellowship, prayer idea, and grab something to eat if you’d like.
