Fall Kick-Off Men’s Ministry Breakfast
Saturday, Sept. 21 @ 9 AM
This ministry gathers the guys – youth and adults – for time to enjoy a special breakfast and good conversation in Christian community. For those who wish to and have time, several jobs are often available from the Building And Maintenance Team (aka BAM) that groups of men can accomplish together before they leave. All men are welcome!
“Gather, Share, NURTURE, Care”
Nurturing faith is part of our mission as St Peter’s. For the sake of God’s world, we know that children’s faith is crucial.
If you have skills or like to work with kids, if you enjoy science, games, cooking, art, or drama, if you could share those things a few Sundays in the upcoming year to help nurture the faith of our preschool through 5th grade members, please contact the church office. Let us know what workshop areas you would consider helping in and if you have known dates you are not available. Lesson materials for the various workshops are provided and children participate with Sunday Morning Team leaders who shepherd them each week. Knowing your interest will help the team as they choose from the available workshop materials.
Live the mission
Please consider being actively involved in the nurture of our young members this year.

Adult Sunday School Class
With Pastor Wray Bryant
Beginning Sunday, September 15
Sundays @ 9:15 a.m.
at Our Savior
What is sin?
Why do we have such a problem with it?
What can we do about it?
In Sunday School this fall, we will explore the problem of sin by taking a deeper look at the seven deadly sins (pride, envy, anger, gluttony, lust, greed, sloth) and the spiritual practices which can counteract them.
We will be using Anglican theologian, Graham Tomlin’s book to guide our study: The Seven Deadly Sins: How to Overcome Life’s Most Toxic Habits. This helpful and inexpensive book may be purchased on Amazon. However, purchasing the book is not required to participate in the class.
We look forward to seeing you!
