Ski Trip Announcement

Dear Friends,

Our hope this year was to be able to do another congregation wide ski trip with our families and friends here at St. Peter. After looking at our options though, we have been unable to put together a trip for our members that would be affordable for the vast majority of those who would have liked to attend. So, after talking with the student ministry board, we felt it would be best to cancel the trip for this year and maybe look at some options for next year.

Thank you so much for your understanding on this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at HIS Rock (586-992-9816) or send me an email at bchapman@splcs.com.

Peace,

Bo

Travel to Bethlehem

In June, St. Peter began a fitness program of traveling 6000 miles to Bethlehem by walking, biking, jogging, or swimming. Our goal was to reach Bethlehem by Christmas. We have reached that goal in record time, and have decided to travel 25,182 miles around the world. Our new goal is well under way, and we hope to reach it by Christmas. We currently have 80 participants, but there is always room for more. If you are interested in getting fit and traveling with fellow St. Peter members, you can look for traveling information outside of the cry room in the church narthex, or in the back of Kaiser Hall. Questions, contact Jackie at 786-1977 or jwangelin56@comcast.net.

Project 12 Baskets

Our partnership with Project12Baskets is allowing us to collect donated items of value and turn them into dollars. Their support staff and system connects us to a variety of public electronic auction sites and resale specialists. This process delivers broad participation and increases the price of items to their optimal value. As the sales take place, we get the dollars and the donors get a wonderful tax deduction!

Project12Baskets draws its name from the story of the feeding of the 5000. There we read how the Lord took meager provisions, 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, and fed a small army of followers. He fed everyone and when the crowd had eaten until they were full, He said to his disciples, "Why don't you pick up the leftovers." When they did, to their surprise, there were 12 baskets filled to the top.

Project12Baskets challenges us to look closely at that abundance to determine if what was once precious might now serve the Lord in a more useful and immediate manner. Click here for more information:
