Note from the Pastor

January 23, 2025


Dear Friends,

I love the fresh start of a new year. I am also excited about a few things on the horizon for St. Peter’s. Let me share two BIG things that have the potential to move us forward over the next several years.

Worship at St. Peter's

This Sunday, January 26, Pastor Steve will bring the message The Agenda of Jesus from Luke 4:14-21.


At St. Peter's, we want to ensure that everyone can fully participate in our in-house worship. If you are having difficulties hearing the message, we have sound-amplifying devices available at the back of the Sanctuary. Ask an usher for help.

Dixie Brain gives the FLOWERS this Sunday in honor of her husband Bob's birthday.

Mid-week Bible Study

Wednesdays, 9:30-11:00 AM

Room C/D


Arguably, the 20th century's most influential Christian writer, C.S. Lewis, sought to explain and defend the beliefs that nearly all Christians at all times hold in common. His simple yet deeply profound classic, originally delivered as a series of radio broadcasts, is a book to be thoroughly digested by believers and generously shared with skeptics.


Mere Christianity delves into how embracing Christ's teachings leads to an inner transformation. Lewis discusses the implications of Christian beliefs for everyday living and how a transformed humanity emerges through an intimate relationship with Christ.

Saturday Morning Women’s Bible Study 9:00-10:30 AM

Room C/D


Ever wonder if you’ve stumbled one too many times for God to use someone like you? Could you benefit from an encounter with God’s unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion?


If you answer yes, it’s time to see how God’s grace transformed Jacob’s life. And if you feel undeserving of God’s grace, this book will serve as a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.


No one is more suited to help assure you of God’s grace than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Weak on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob. And he won’t turn his back on you.
