Join us at Funworks on Tuesday at 6:00 pm for an evening of go-carts, Spin Zone bumper cars, and unlimited mini golf! Cost is about $17 with a Groupon so let Deacon Schroeder know if you plan to attend. We will not have our regularly schedule meeting on Thursday.
New Sunday Morning Bible Study Offerings in April and May
To expand our Bible study offerings at St. Peter, we will be offering two studies on Sunday mornings in April and May. You will have options. One study, “God’s Providence,” will be offered on Sundays in April and May beginning on April 8. Deacon Schroeder will help us to answer questions like: Can we be sure that God cares for every aspect of our lives? Why do things happen the way they do? Do we have a free will that determines our destinies, or does everything happen as God directs? What relation does God have with the evil in our world?
Getting back to the basics of the Bible always shores up our faith’s foundation. Beginning on April 29 and continuing through the summer months, we will offer our second Sunday morning Bible study at 10:30 am, Christianity 101 – People Close to God Bible Information Class. Use this course as a review for yourself or bring along a friend to introduce them to your church. This course is also the one we have those interested in joining St. Peter take to check out what our church teaches and to get questions answered.

Vacation Bible School and Soccer Bible Camp – Volunteers Needed
Jesus’ saving work is vital for souls of all ages. In our Soccer Bible Camp we connect with families in our community and share the good news of our Savior. We had a great turnout for our Soccer Bible Camp last year. In order to serve those who may not be interested in soccer, this year we will also offer a Vacation Bible School at the same time. There are numerous ways you can be part of this important outreach program. A signup sheet for volunteers is located at the back of church. No soccer knowledge is needed to help since we have volunteers coming from Martin Luther College to help with the soccer stations. Please talk to Deacon Schroeder if you have any questions. We will have a volunteer meeting on Saturday, April 21, at 9:00 am in the fellowship hall.
Vacation Bible School and Soccer Bible Camp – Homes and Transportation Needs for Volunteers from Martin Luther College
Another way that you can participate in our Evangelism efforts is by providing housing or transportation to our volunteers from Martin Luther College. Housing is needed for the three males and two females. Students will arrive on June 2 and leave on June 9. The volunteers need a place to sleep and breakfast each day.
If you are able to help with housing volunteers, please talk to Deacon Schroeder.
