Dive in Before It's Too Late!

This is the final week to register your kids as campers for St. Peter's SCUBA VBS—don’t miss out on an unforgettable summer experience!


Let’s be honest: floating around with a rubber duck is only fun for so long. At SCUBA VBS, your kids will go from surface-level play to deep and meaningful friendships. Through games, music, crafts, and powerful Bible stories, they’ll explore God’s love in a way that sticks.


Here, every camper becomes part of a crew—building real connections, working together, and learning that life is richer with friends who share faith and fun. Whether they’re sharing snacks, singing their hearts out, or diving into challenges, kids at SCUBA VBS discover the joy of community.


So it’s time to put down the ducky and pick up your flippers—because the water’s fine, and we’re ready to dive deep!


👉 Register now as a Camper or Crew Leader and be part of a week filled with laughter, learning, and friendships that go far beyond the shallow end.

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.
