Our Missionaries in Uruguay

Missions Team: Karen Bierlein • December 9, 2024

Pastor James and Angie Sharp continue their work to bring the Gospel to our brothers and sisters in Montevideo and surrounding areas.

Since 2019, we at St. Peter’s have committed to supporting them with prayer and substantial monetary contributions. (Thank you!)


Their latest newsletter brought us up to date on their missionary work and family life. In spite of some health challenges, Pastor James has been busy seeking a new location for their downtown mission. Angie, as a teacher for the Lutheran middle school their daughter Maggie attends, is in the midst of the end-of-the-semester test grading and recovering from the flu. Meanwhile, the other Sharp children are in the US: Callie and Ambrose at the Lutheran HS in Concordia, MO, and Elias at the University of Iowa.


The Sharp family is working hard and making sacrifices to fulfill Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations. We are thankful for our missionaries. Pray for them.


If you'd like check back to see how the Sharps are doing, any news that comes through the Missions Team will be updated under "Serve" on the Hub.  Click HERE then scroll down to see where you can read their most recent Fall Newsletter.

A Lifetime of Love

A Note from Pastor Nate

By Pastor Nate Widener • July 28, 2025
St. Peter’s Family, My wife Amy and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the outpouring of love you have shown us over the last several weeks. This past weekend, my oldest daughter Gwyn was married to our wonderful son-in-law Benjamin Corley, and we couldn’t be happier. But, what made it all the sweeter was seeing so many of your caring and supportive faces in the congregation. Similarly, as you know, just a few short weeks ago I lost my father, Nick Widener, and I cannot express to you the depth of my thankfulness for all of the condolences that you have given me and my family. Your cards are all sitting on the windowsill of my office. Without question St. Peter’s is a loving and caring congregation, and this is part of what makes you so great. Thank you for taking care of us, so that we can also take care of you. May God Bless you, Pastor Nate

Preschool Giving Tree

By Barb Christian • July 28, 2025
As we begin our new preschool year, we will need some supplies. It takes a lot of glue, markers and paint to keep preschoolers busy. Please consider taking a letter or two from our “Giving Tree”. Each letter is labeled with a needed supply item to be donated. Once you have shopped, you can return the item(s) to the tree. Thank you for your generosity as you bless our preschool. You are truly appreciated!
