Serve, Celebrate & Worship Together

The holiday season is upon us, and we're excited to invite you to a series of meaningful opportunities to connect with Christ in worship and our church community through acts of service. From giving thanks for the bounty of God's blessings to preparing our sanctuary for the joy of Christmas, there's something for everyone to be part of this season.

Thanksgiving Eve Service

Wednesday, Nov. 27th | 7:00 PM

We begin the season of gratitude with a special Thanksgiving Eve service. Come gather with us to reflect on the abundance that God provides in our lives. This service is a beautiful way to prepare our hearts for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Join us for a morning of worship and thanksgiving as we give thanks for the blessings of the past year. It's a perfect way to start your day before the feast!

Serve and Celebrate Together

The holiday season is also a time for us to give back and create special moments together. Mark your calendars to participate in one of these St. Peter's traditions:

Thanksgiving Food Collection Sorting

Wednesday, Nov. 27th | 10:00 AM

GARDEN & STORE PRODUCE donations for our THANKSGIVING DAY SERVICES are needed to help decorate the sanctuary. The produce will then be added to the food collection afterwards if appropriate. Small to medium-sized pumpkins, apples, gourds, and any produce are all welcome. Please place your donations in the working sacristy (the room behind the baptismal font) no later than Wednesday at 10 am. 

Thanksgiving Food Collection Sorting

Friday, Nov. 29th | 9:00 AM

After all the food donations come in for our Thanksgiving Food Collection, we need your help to sort and organize them! Join us at 9:00 AM to sort the food and prepare boxes for those in need. If you know of a family who could benefit from receiving a box, please reach out to Pastor Nate confidentially. Your help ensures that families in our community experience the fullness of God's love this season.

Christmas Decorating

Sunday, Dec. 1st | After 10:30 AM Service

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Come help us decorate the sanctuary for the season after the 10:30 AM service on Sunday, Dec. 1st. We’ll be putting up our beautiful Christmas trees and other decorations that will transform our space for this holy season. A few extra hands make all the difference, and it’s a wonderful way to prepare our church for the season of Christ’s birth.

Poinsettia Sales

Dec. 6-7th

Starting the weekend of Dec. 6-7th, we’ll be selling poinsettias to decorate our sanctuary for Christmas. After the Christmas Day service, you can take your poinsettia home to enjoy. These beautiful flowers also make a perfect gift for loved ones or our shut-ins. You'll be able to purchase these using the sign-up in the Ministry Center.

Cup of Kindness

Dec. 8th Deadline

Last year, our collection for the Cup of Kindness made a huge impact on local families needing emergency assistance and financial literacy help. Let's meet our goal this year again! Be sure to get your donation in by the weekend of Dec 7-8th. In the Ministry Center, you can find envelopes attached to some interesting statistics on how this gift will help local families. Add your financial gift to the envelope and drop it in the offering plate or to the Church Office. Please make checks payable to LSSI  with Cup of Kindness in the memo.

Angel Tree

Dec. 15th Deadline

Angels are on the tree in the Ministry Center and ready to be taken. Please bring wrapped gifts back to the tree with the angel tag attached no later than Dec 15th when deliveries will be made. Each child will receive their gift, an age appropriate gospel booklet and the family receives a Christmas letter along with a Portals of Prayer.

We are so thankful for your continued support, generosity, and involvement in our church community traditions. Let’s come together this season to celebrate, serve, and share the joy of the holidays with one another!
