We are excited to hear of the process of the senior pastor call committee.

Congregational members, the much anticipated survey was sent via email on Saturday, traditional mail to our shut-ins, as well as paper forms found in the Ministry Center. This will allow ALL members to have input into the direction of the church and the desired characteristics of our new senior pastor. If you have not completed one yet, please use the button below to do so before February 3, 2025.

Additionally, we are in the process of establishing a fourth grade call committee to replace the retiring Pam Launer. Thank you, Mrs. Launer for the many years of service to Saint peters and the community!


Lastly, we had a very good discussion regarding the new Director of Finance position and how the position can continue to best serve and communicate with our many ministries which are all part of our One St. Peter’s ministry.

Qualified applicants must have at minimum a Bachelor's degree in accounting and 5 years of experience. Experience in non-profit fund accounting is preferred.

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.
