A Double Blessing: Support St. Peter's Students Through the SGO

The Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) program is one of the many blessings God has provided to help families experience a Christ-centered education at St. Peter’s Lutheran School. Through generous donor support, the SGO helps make tuition affordable for students who might not otherwise have this opportunity.


Right now, every new donation to the SGO is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000 per individual and $5,000 total for our school! That means your gift not only changes a child’s life, it has double the impact.


Even more incredible are the tax benefits: donors receive a 50% state tax credit on the amount of their gift, in addition to any federal charitable deductions they may qualify for. It’s a powerful way to support Christian education while being a wise steward of the resources God has entrusted to you.


Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference. Together, we can ensure more children hear the Gospel each day and grow in faith, knowledge, and service. Give today and make twice the impact! Visit https://lutheransgo.org/donate/ and designate your gift to St. Peter’s Lutheran School. There are also physical donation forms available in the church and school offices.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I hope this note finds you well and encouraged in the Lord. St. Peter’s continues to be a place where God is at work through our preschool, school, various ministries, and the daily faithfulness of His people. I am grateful to serve the Lord with you in this place! As we continue to serve together, I want to update you on changes in our church office and ministry staff. As many of you know, Michelle Leahy has been serving as our “Interim Director of Operations,” providing support and coordination across many areas of congregational life. In the coming weeks, Michelle will be stepping into a new role, “Executive Director.” This means her work will shift from hands-on ministry support to more administrative leadership and oversight of the church office, properties, finances, and technology. This is an important step for us as a congregation as we continue to support our staff and serve our members. With this change, we want to ensure that daily ministry needs are met. After reviewing our current staffing and budget, we can make an adjustment that supports the ongoing ministry without increasing costs. To that end, Kami Jo Mogelvang will expand her role to serve as “Church Ministry Coordinator.” Many of you have already seen Kami Jo assisting Pastor McDowell in youth ministry two days each week. Under the new alignment, she will: Continue serving in youth ministry, and Help coordinate ministry efforts and volunteer connections with Pastor Nate and Pastor McDowell across the congregation. This will help us strengthen volunteer support and the many “connecting points” that help our church family care for one another. As Kami Jo transitions out of her receptionist duties, this change will open about 18 hours per week at the front desk, which we have posted. This staffing arrangement stays within our approved 2025 budget. I am thankful for Michelle, Kami Jo, our staff, and all our volunteers. I also appreciate the spirit of grace and partnership that marks our congregation. Please keep our staff and ministry leaders in your prayers as we move through these transitions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for the privilege of serving Christ with you! In Christ, Pastor Danny Eggold St. Peter’s Lutheran Church & School
