THANK YOU FROM THE GALA COMMITTEE
Our Winter Wonderland Gala was a tremendous success, and we are thrilled to share that we’ve raised a final total of $115,000! A huge thank you to all of our generous church members who supported this event—whether by attending or donating. We truly couldn’t have reached this incredible total without your support.

Our committee did a phenomenal job with the preparations, and the evening was filled with joy, laughter, and a wonderful sense of community. The generosity of our St. Peter families was evident in every step leading up to the event and on the night itself. God continues to bless us abundantly! The funds raised will go directly towards improvements in the MAC.
KidMin Corner
St. Peter Kids Elementary partnered with our St. Peter Middle School friends this past weekend to complete scavenger hunt challenges. Each team was working together using all their talents to collect the pieces of Mr. Potato Head. Sometimes, members of the team had to participate without one of their senses. Together they learned what it means to be the Body of Christ and how hard it would be for the eye to say to the hand, "I don't need you!" It was fun to see the groups having to solve the clues! Keep the conversation going at home by asking, "What are some things that are hard to do alone? What is your favorite thing about Jesus? How can you work together to point people to Jesus this week?"

St. Peter Kids Preschool wrapped up the month of March by learning about the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus was able to take a little boy's offering of five loaves of bread and two fish and feed more than 5,000 people. At home, talk about how Jesus can do anything. What's something you need Jesus to help you with? Talk to Him about it in prayer!

We can't wait to dive into Holy Week and Easter during the month of April! Please note that we will not meet on Easter Sunday. St. Peter Kids are welcome to join Miss Kayla during the sermon on Easter for Kids Word, a shortened activity in the middle of each worship service.
