Saturday Service – Update
Due to the very low attendance at our Saturday night services the last five months, the Elders have decided to cancel that service. Beginning in January there will not be a Saturday night service on the first Saturday of the month.
International Sunday – January 26
International Sunday at St. Peter focuses on Epiphany and the Word of God being shared with the world. After worship, we will have a potluck meal and the opportunity to hear via a video call from Mr. Sean Young, the WELS Director of Joint Mission Operations. Mr. Young is involved with both world and home mission efforts and is very knowledgeable about what is happening in our missions, such as Vietnam and Southeast Asia. … Linka Schroeder is heading up the potluck. There is a signup sheet on the bulletin board in the entryway for what you think you might like to bring. For those able to help with setup, serving, or cleanup, please talk to Linka.

Are You Interested in Going on a Tour?
Pastor Schroeder is looking at the possibility of joining another WELS pastor in hosting a tour of Biblical sites. It would be an 11-day tour in which we would be visiting Greece, Egypt, Israel, and Turkey. Seven nights would be on a cruise ship traveling to different ports to see Bible places like Athens, Cairo, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Cyprus, Corinth, and Ephesus. We are looking at going around April 5-16, 2021 (the week after Easter about 1.5 years from now, which would give people time to save for the trip). Flying out of San Francisco, the cost of the tour would be about $4897 per person. This price includes everything but some lunches
that would be on your own. If you want to ask what a tour like this is like, please talk with Kevin & Monica Hejnal or Walt & Darci Luihn, who recently went on an Israel tour with Pastor using this same tour company. Pastor is trying to find out what kind of interest there is in such a tour, so please let him know if this is something you think you’d like to do. If you would like to the proposed itinerary, you can see it at: http://bit.ly/tour2021_SP
