Retirement: Pam Launer, 4th Grade Teacher

Chris Brune • January 13, 2025

Farewell, Pam Launer and blessings on your retirement!

We here at St. Peter's have been blessed over our almost 170 year history with an excellent teachers and our current staff certainly fit this mold of excellence. A cornerstone of our St. Peter's staff for 24 years has been our 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Pam Launer. After those 24 years here at St. Peter's and a combined 40 in lutheran education, she is ready to take on the next blessing of life, that of Retirement! Mrs. Launer will be retiring at the end of this school year giving her more time with her beautiful family (especially grandchildren) and whatever else God has in store.


There will be more information about formal ways we plan to celebrate her service towards God's children towards the end of the year. For now thank you just doesn't seem sufficient. What I will ask for is if you see her around, in worship or school stop and say thank you or share a quick story of what she meant to you or your children. The amount of lives touched over the past 40 years in teaching would be almost impossible to calculate. However, what I am more than confident in, is God has worked through Mrs. Launer in the lives of His children each and everyday. Without a doubt, our joyous celebration in heaven will be a bit larger because of Him working through her.


Well done good and faithful servant!

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

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!
