A Servant's Heart is Hoped For

Hey St. Peter’s!


What a fantastic run of Hope Sessions this spring! I want to take a moment to thank every single person who made it possible. From our presenters and staff to those who brought food and helped behind the scenes, you made these past six weeks something special. We were mightily blessed by the camaraderie, fellowship, and spirit of service that filled our time together.


That spirit of service was right at the heart of our theme from 1 Peter 4:10 “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”


And we truly lived that out. This session, everyone played a part, sharing in the meal, pitching in with cleanup, and it showed. The result? A joyful, seamless experience that reflected the very best of our life together in Christ.


Honestly, that’s one of the things I love most about our community. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we can come alongside one another, and together, we can do great things.


If you’re wondering what’s next for you, there are plenty of opportunities to serve here at St. Peter’s. We’d love to see you involved in one of these! As we move forward with our Strategic Plan, we’re stepping into a season full of new and exciting areas to serve. Every one of them will be stronger with your participation.


As we begin this next chapter together, consider how you too can exercise your servanthood and help your St. Peter’s Ministry grow in our plans to serve God and glorify Him!


Peace be with you all,

Pastor Nate
