St. Peter's Lutheran Church

FALL PROJECT — NE YOUTH IN NEED

As the new school year begins, St. Peter’s will once again join with the nurses in the North East Schools to help provide much needed items for the students.

Personal hygiene items such as travel-size deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes and feminine products are needed at the Middle & High Schools.

The Elementary School needs underwear, sock and sweatpants in all sizes from 6 to 14.

Thank you for taking care of our youth in need in our community!

Church Council

You are needed!

Your leadership, voice and ideas are needed to help St. Peter’s continue its mission as a church in our community and beyond. There is one 3-Year Term (2026 — 2027 –2028) open. Please speak with Mr. Don Partch if you are interested in serving.

Erie Lutheran Conference Pulpit Exchange

On Sunday, September 20, 2026, we will welcome Pastor Karen Thompson of Mt. Calvary and Lamb of God Lutheran Churches in Erie to St. Peter’s!

The congregation is encouraged to attend this special Pulpit Exchange event sponsored by the Erie Lutheran Conference.

Pr. Thompson will lead worship, preach a sermon and offer the Sacrament of Holy Communion during the service.

Coffee Hour — a time of tasty treats and fellowship with Pr. Thompson and one another will follow worship. Mark the date on your calendar and plan to attend!

Coffee Hour

Members are needed to host our Coffee Hour and Fellowship Time following Sunday Morning Worship. Making a pot of coffee and bringing in a light dessert (a cake or 2-3 dozen cookies) is all that is needed! Host a Sunday or two during the year and share all those baking talents with our members & visitors!

North East Food Pantry News

During the months of July and August, we will be collecting Progresso and Campbell’s Chunky soups for the North East Food Pantry.

St. Peter’s will be serving at the North East Pantry on Fridays and Saturdays in the month of September. If you wish to volunteer, please sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board.

If you have any questions, please speak with Dennis.

Thank you for helping your neighbors in need!
