Help us deck the Sanctuary and Life Center for Christmas on Monday, November 23 from 8:00 AM–3:00 PM and then Tuesday, November 24, from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM. Come for the whole day or just a few hours—every bit helps bring the beauty of the season to life! A few notes: Volunteers may be asked to lift up to 30 lbs and use ladders for decorating. We’ll provide guidance and work safely together. If you’d like to lend a hand, please email Allie Gill at agill@fulllifeinchrist.org. Thank you for helping make St. Peter shine bright this Christmas season!
📚A SNEAK PEEK AT OUR SHOP FOR STORIES GUEST READERS! 📚
We're getting excited for our Shop for Stories event on Monday, November 23, from 11:30 AM–4:00 PM at Scout's Tales in downtown Arlington Heights! Some of your favorite St. Peter teachers are trading their classrooms for the bookstore and getting ready to share some of their favorite stories with our students!

Here's a sneak peek at a few of our special guest readers:
📖 Mrs. Koclanis from 11:30 am to 11:50 am
📖 Miss Kayla from 12:00 pm to 12:20 pm
📖 Mrs. Sustr from 12:30 pm to 12:50 pm
Come enjoy a little storytime, get a head start on your holiday shopping, and support St. Peter while you're at it! Even better, 10% of ALL sales that day will be donated back to St. Peter! Every purchase helps make a difference!

Stay tuned for next week's Saints Update, when we'll reveal the FULL lineup of guest readers and their scheduled reading times!
Student Council will begin collecting Saints gear that no longer fits and can be “handed down” to our younger students to bless their St. Peter wardrobe. Please start digging through those bins and drawers and bring any Saints gear that no longer fits your child(ren) to the main office beginning Monday, November 2nd.

SCHOOL CHRISTMAS SERVICE TIMES ARE IN SKYWARD 
We can’t wait to celebrate the birth of Jesus with you at our School Christmas Services  — one of the most joyful days of our school year! Each school family (pre school-8th grade) will have the opportunity to worship at one of the three services as their children lead on Saturday, December 12th. To view your family’s service time within Skyward, log into your account and click on the Activities tile under your student’s name. Questions or conflicts? Please click HERE.
A STARLIGHT GALA CHALLENGE FOR OUR FAMILIES! ✨
We're adding a little extra excitement to our 2027 Starlight Gala! If we sell 150 Gala tickets (that's just 75 couples!) before Early Bird pricing ends on November 30, our ENTIRE SCHOOL will have a Bounce House Party during our last week of school before Christmas Break.🎉

Early Bird Tickets: $150 per person | $300 per couple

So grab your friends, plan your tables, and purchase your tickets before November 30! Not only will you save on tickets, but you'll also help us get one step closer to building a brand-new playground for our students. Let's hit this goal and give our whole school something to celebrate! 🌟

PURCHASE YOUR GALA TICKETS HERE!
ROLL OUT THE BARREL & GET READY TO WIN!
Join us on Friday, November 20 at 6:00 pm in the St. Peter Life Center for the ultimate night of high-stakes Bingo! Bring your favorite beverage, a snack to share, and your lucky charms for a fantastic evening.
