Women in Mission: Lutheran World Relief

No Quilt Auction This Year - But the Mission Continues!

In joyful gratitude for the blessings of the Lord and the generosity of His people, our Knotters & Quilters will not be holding our annual Quilt Auction this October.


Thanks be to God, last year’s auction was so successful that the funds raised are still being used to support our ongoing mission. Because of your faithful giving, we are able to send an increased number of quilts this year through Lutheran World Relief (LWR), sharing warmth, comfort, and Christ's love with those in need around the world.


But that’s not all. Our St. Peter’s Women in Mission are also sending out school kits this fall, thanks to your generous donations to our Compassionate Care Collection. These kits, assembled just last week, are filled with essential supplies that will equip children across the globe for learning—and remind them that they are not forgotten.


While we’ll miss gathering for the Quilt Auction this year, the mission of mercy and witness goes on. During this LWML month of October, we invite you to continue supporting international missions:


  • Drop your mites or monthly offerings in the little white church in the Ministry Center
  • Give online through our website HERE
  • Or mark your regular offering envelope with a note for LWML


Together, we remain steadfast in proclaiming Christ’s love—by serving our neighbors both near and far.


"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace." —1 Peter 4:10

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
