Building a community of faith by God’s grace, we hope you join us to worship, learn, gather, and serve in Jesus’ name.
We're glad you're here!
Welcome in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Whether we are worshipping, learning, gathering for fellowship, or serving, we do so in Jesus’ name. We would love for you to find out more about the ministries of St. Peter’s.
Be sure to check out our blog and announcements. There’s always something going on at St. Peter’s and we can’t wait for you to join us!
We are excited to offer a new and innovative Sunday School Program for PreK/K and grades 1 to 4. Please consider volunteering to help by contacting Cindy Geesey at cindy.geesey@stpeterslutheran.org. In addition, we are asking families to pre-register for Sunday School by going to our website and clicking on the link that is on the LEARN page. That will be helpful for our planning purposes.

Please join us on Thursday, September 1st at noon in the Café for lunch, fellowship, entertainment and education. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Robert Frick. He will begin his series on “Together They Made the Modern American First Ladyship”, beginning with Eleanor Roosevelt and ending with Laura Bush. If you have not joined us for Dr. Frick’s series, you are missing a good time with education. If you have Showtime on your TV, there is a good miniseries about First Ladies, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, and Michele Obama. Please bring your own sandwich, place setting, a beverage, and a snack to share. For any questions, please contact Debra Shue at djshue52@Comcast.net.

St. Peter’s is starting a new way for families, couples or individuals to help during worship. Everyone can learn to serve. We will be offering training as acolytes, ushers, lector and presenting the offering or the wine and bread. Please don’t let the number of jobs scare you away. Each of these important jobs is easily done. Come to a training session to learn more (no obligation) on this Sunday, August 21th at 9:00 a.m. for a 45 minute session. Please contact Betsy Linn and let her know of your interest and which session you will be attending.
We will have a brief “blessing” of our narthex furniture on Sunday, August 21st at 9:30 a.m. in the Coffee Bar area of the narthex.
We will honor and celebrate our new and seasoned Sages on Sunday, August 28th at the 8:00 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. services. A Sage is any member who has reached the age of 80 or more. All Sages are invited to attend either traditional worship service. This year, a reception will follow in the narthex after the 9:45 a.m. service only. Also, the 28th coincides with the summer’s Hymn Sing Prelude. Sages have priority in requesting a hymn, so if you have a request please contact the church office at 717-569-9211. No need to R.S.V.P. for attending a service or the reception.
We are looking for a few volunteers to give a ride to and from church to one of our Sages on August 28th so they can enjoy the Sunday service in their honor. Drivers for the early or late service are needed. Please call the church office at 717-569-9211 for more details or if you might be able to help. There is also a signup sheet outside the church nursery.
