Pam Launer's Retirement Celebration

May 19, 2025

When considering the example of a servant leader, one face easily comes to mind... Mrs. Pam Launer and her ever present smile. 

After serving 35 of her 40 years in Lutheran Schools, Pam has decided to retire from her vocation as teacher. St. Peter's has certainly been blessed by her years of dedicated service. Pam taught preschool for three years and was St. Peter's Early Childhood Director before becoming our 4th grade teacher. She has served on the Preschool Board and Nominating Team, taught Sunday School, led VBS Bible Story Time, developed and led Kids of the Kingdom, and more. While at the day school, she served on call committees, too many school committees to count, Drop Everything and Read days, National Lutheran Schools Week committees, theme committees, iLearn hype team, and crew celebrations. The list could go on and on. She may be departing from her days of teaching, but her students (and their parents) will never forget the impact she had on their lives.


We would like to invite you to join us in showing appreciation for Pam's years of dedicated service. Please pay attention to your mailbox as a special letter will be sent to congregation members this week. We will honor her during our worship services held on Sunday, May 25th with a reception following on the front porch after the 10:30 service.


"Well done, good and faithful servant!" - Matthew 25:21

A Lifetime of Love
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
