Saints Update 5/15/26

We are wrapping up the last FULL week of school today. God has blessed us with a much nicer end of the week, and we give thanks. Thursday evening was spent with our to-be graduates and their families celebrating at the 8th grade banquet held at Chevy Chase CC. The group had gorgeous weather for outdoor pictures as well as great food/fellowship/and entertainment for our 8th graders. Today - Kindergarten and 1st grade took over Brookfield Zoo while our middle school band and choir students competed in a competition this morning and then spent the rest of the day at Six Flags Great America. Next week I hope your calendars are lightly scheduled, outside of St. Peter events! Tuesday evening gives our 3rd - 8th grade families the opportunity to share a meal and some memories as we honor the accomplishments of our winter and spring sports teams at our athletic banquet.  

We have Field Day on Wednesday and opportunities for volunteers to support our teachers and middle schoolers as they lead a whole host of games. Sign up here! If you just have an hour, come join us for a picnic lunch that same day! Wednesday at 2:30 pm we welcome back our St. Peter alumni graduating high school this year to come back and walk with our current 8th-grade graduates. Wednesday night we celebrate the accomplishments of our Early Childhood Families at our Preschool Closing at 6:00 pm on the front lawn (weather permitting). All day Wednesday St. Peter has a Dine and Donate event at Comet Custard. Last, but certainly not least, Thursday is our last day of school. Join us first thing in the morning at 8:00 am for our Middle School Awards Ceremony. Then, at 9:30 am, our 8th graders will take one last lap around the school in their caps & gowns signifying the closing of our year. At 9:45 am, families are welcome to join us for our closing worship celebration for K - 8th grade students. That evening, any & all St. Peter students are invited to be a part of our 8th grade graduation service beginning at 6:30 pm.  

Charge up for the final push! Our student body will shine bright next week in our celebration and closure of this current school year!

~Mr. Goffron

LET’S GROW TOGETHER IN GOD’S WORD THIS SUMMER!
Summer brings new rhythms, fresh routines, and unique opportunities to grow in faith. What if this summer our entire St. Peter church community committed to one simple but life-changing habit together: reading God’s Word?

This summer, we’re inviting every girl, boy, woman, and man to join us for Same Page Summer — a shared journey through Scripture designed to help us become fully formed disciples who live as Hungry Followers, Unhurried Friends, Generous Responders, and Courageous Storytellers.

Centered around a beloved Bible story each week, this plan includes 13 weeks of readings with additional scripture passages for those who want to go deeper. Designed for disciples of any age, each week also includes Hear & Practice questions to help move our reading from information to transformation.

Whether you’re at home, traveling, or at Summer Camp, we want everyone reading together — on the same page!

Pick up a Same Page Summer booklet at the counter in the Lobby or at the station tables in Modern Worship. This resource can also be accessed digitally here and on our Church Center app.

Let’s all get on the SAME PAGE this summer!
