JOB POSTINGS
Here at St. Peter's
Part-Time Janitorial Assistant – 20 Hours/Week
St. Peter’s Lutheran Church & School is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Part-Time Janitorial Assistant to help care for our church, school, and preschool facilities. We are looking for someone with a servant’s heart who sees this work as more than just a job and takes pride in creating clean, safe, welcoming spaces for our congregation, students, families, and staff. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who is diligent, proactive, and able to work independently with minimal supervision while paying close attention to the details that make our facilities look their best. The position is 20 hours per week, with a negotiable schedule, although our preference is for someone who can work Monday through Friday in the afternoons. Previous janitorial, custodial, or housekeeping experience is preferred, but we are especially interested in finding someone who is dependable, takes pride in their work, and is willing to serve others as part of the ministry of St. Peter’s. If you are interested in applying for this position, please contact Michelle Leahy (mleahy@stpetersfw.org or 749-5816).

IRON SHARPENS IRON
Join us September 25–27 at Camp Lutherhaven in Albion, Indiana for our annual Men’s Retreat — a weekend where faith, brotherhood, and renewal come together under the theme Iron Sharpens Iron.
Nestled in the quiet beauty of northern Indiana, Lutherhaven offers the ideal setting to unplug and refocus — wooded trails, open skies, campfires, and the kind of unhurried space that makes real conversations and lasting friendships possible. It’s a place to step away from the noise and lean into what matters most.
Speaker: Pastor Gabe Kasper
Gabe serves as Lead Pastor of University Lutheran Church and has a heart for preaching that is both thoughtful and practical. After helping plant churches in Austin, TX, he now serves in Michigan, focusing on preaching, leadership development, and pastoral care. He studied at Concordia University Wisconsin, earned his MDiv from Concordia Seminary (St. Louis), and completed an MPhil from Eastern Michigan University.
His theme, “Finding Home: An Invitation to Religious Spirituality,” will explore the tension many feel between being “spiritual but not religious” and how Scripture calls us into a faith that is deeply personal — yet firmly rooted in Christ’s Church.

Submit Artwork for Kramer Chapel Bulletins
The Good Shepherd Institute of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW), invites artists to submit new artwork for use in service bulletins. This artwork will be used in open spaces in bulletins, calling attention not to itself but to the service and the Word of God.
There is no limit to the number of works an artist may submit, but it may be advantageous to submit a few examples as a starting point to gauge interest. Avoid lengthy texts and details that will be difficult to see if the image is reduced in size. All designs should be black and white, along with the full spectrum of gray.
There is no particular submission deadline. For more information and to submit artwork, visit ctsfw.edu/bulletin-art.
