Saints Update 1/30/26

January 30, 2026 View this email in your browser

Moms, meal planning is hard! It’s especially hard when Dad’s got the grill locked up and stowed away during the Arctic plunge of 2026. But don’t you worry! St. Peter has you covered next Tuesday and Wednesday! If you haven’t done so already, sign up for Mornings with Mom on Feb 3 or Feb 4, enjoy breakfast with your student(s), and walk them to class afterwards. But wait, there’s more……Tuesday evening (2/3/26), keep the fun going and join us for dinner at our Dine and Share at Culver’s on Northwest Highway in Arlington Heights. Invite another classroom family to join yours for some great community time over a basket of cheese curds and frozen custard.

Please RSVP for Mornings with Mom as it greatly helps our event planning. The sign-up link will close Monday, 2/2 at 8:00 am.

Have a blessed weekend.

COURAGEOUS STORYTELLERS

Hello, my name is Ryan Vick, and I’ve been going to St. Peter since preschool. Over the years God has blessed me with many great events and times. This school is where I’ve grown in my faith and learned what it really means to trust in God, but sometimes God will send hard times or struggles not to weaken you but to strengthen.

My story is about why that trust is so important. A little while ago, my Dad had to have heart surgery. During that time, I was really worried. I prayed and prayed. I asked God to watch over my Dad, to guide the doctor’s hands, and to give my dad peace no matter what happened.

That moment changed me. It reminded me that even when things feel out of control, God is still in control. Like it says in Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 and 6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

My Dad’s surgery went well, and I truly believe that was because of God’s love and care. Now, whenever I face something hard, I think back to that time and remember to always put my trust in Him. That’s one important lesson St. Peter has taught me, to keep my faith strong, even in the hardest times.

How has knowing Jesus shaped your story?
We invite you to join us for the God’s Story = Your Story Workshop this Saturday, January 31, from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and discover that answer for yourself. Register HERE or through your Church Center app.

Through simple, thought-provoking exercises and discovery tools (no writing skills required!), this workshop will help you recognize how God has been present in every season of your life—the joyful moments and the challenging ones. You’ll leave with a clear, shareable way to express what God has done for you, ready to share with those around you.

Mission: Leading People To A Full Life In Christ
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

Vision: Seeing Lives And Communities Transformed As We Become More Like Jesus
And we all… are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18
