KidMin Corner
St. Peter [Kids] has been spending the month of February discovering how God has made each of us uniquely and wonderfully and how Jesus loves everyone.

Our preschool students have been learning about Jesus calling each of the disciples. Whether they were fishermen or tax collectors, Jesus loves everyone and wants them to follow Him. We can be like the disciples and invite other people to follow Jesus too! 

Our elementary students have been focused on all the ways God has created them to be unique. We all have our own gifts and skills that we can use to share God's love and invite others to learn more about Jesus. We even made some awesome pictures with our unique fingerprints!

This weekend, we'll finish watching the last 10 minutes of Inside Out to wrap up our discussion of emotions from last month, and then finish our February lessons with some fun games and crafts.

GIFT PLANNING
We can face competing priorities when we think about distributions from our estates someday, even as we consider gifts that will support ministry. In supporting ministries, there is always the need of “today” versus the needs of the “future”. Which should you choose? Saints of the Lord may come up with differing plans about these priorities. Your St. Peter Gift Planning Counselor may be able to help you clearly see how you can do both. Contact Ray Pagels, Christian Gift Planning Counselor at his cell 847.226.2262 or Raymondpagels1@gmail.com
