Saints Update 4/11/25

Thank you so much for sharing your grandparents and VIP’s with us today. With over 1000 people in the building, I didn’t get a chance to personally meet everyone, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have fun together with our “extended community.” Joy was certainly evident and we give all praise and glory to the Holy Spirit for being the source of this shared sentiment.

Today also concluded our “Week of the Young Child.” Our early childhood department, fearlessly led by Mandy Grissom (a born and raised St. Peter alum), is a foundational pillar of our school. This team, collaborative and creative by nature, “took the lead” on a number of special activities this week. They decorated our Narthex and Family Room with beautiful artwork completed by our two through four-year-old students.Then on Wednesday, our younger students led our older students in a fun buddy activity in the classroom. Finally, on Thursday, our students proudly wore their homemade vests to participate in our St. Peter alphabet parade welcoming so many parent and family supporters! It was great to have you fill our sanctuary, even if it was for just a very short time. Thank you to Mrs. Grissom and all of our Early Childhood teachers for all of your extra work this week and for consistently being such lights to our preschool students.

St. Peter Kids kicked off April with the story of Palm Sunday. Preschool made their own donkeys and palm branches to shout "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" They focused on the ways we can celebrate Jesus for all he's done for us!  Keep the conversation going at home: talk about how your family will celebrate Jesus this year. Will you do things like make a special meal, sing songs, hang decorations, go to church, pray, or make a cake? There are so many ways we can celebrate that Jesus is alive!

Elementary students dove a little deeper into the story. We talked about how Palm Sunday had everyone prepared for a great victory only to be confused by the events of Good Friday. We spent some time with balloons talking about how friction (bad things in our lives) can ultimately draw us closer to Jesus. We're looking forward to the Easter story next weekend as we keep learning that HOPE means thinking that something good can come from something bad. If you'd like help learning our memory verse for the month, check out this track from Seeds Family Worship. It's a slightly different translation, but still a catchy version of John 16:33. Keep the conversation going at home: Pray this prayer together. “God, thank You for each of my friends! Sometimes, things get hard for us all. Help us to remember to talk to other Jesus followers when we need hope. Help us also to talk to You, because You care about the things that worry us. Thank You for the people You have put in our lives to help us keep our focus on You. We love You, and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
We hope you will join us this Holy Week. Reminder there will not be a Saturday worship on 4/19 as we prepare to celebrate Jesus' resurrection.
