Saints Update 9/12/25
September 12, 2025      View this email in your browser

Are you ready for a fun night out full of pumpkin decorating, kids running/walking laps in the beautiful fall weather, food trucks, fundraising, and fellowship with school families? Mark your calendars for September 26 because St. Peter is hosting its Inaugural Homecoming Hustle - bringing together alumni and current families alike to celebrate the awesome community here at St. Peter! 

This is our one big fundraiser for the year, raising money to replace the bleachers in the small gym. If you’ve ever been asked to help with pulling those bleachers down or have sat on them for more than 5 minutes, you understand the elation we feel when imagining their replacement! We are setting a goal for each student to raise $100 dollars toward this endeavor. We’ve made it easy for you, creating a website where your family and friends can donate directly to the cause.

Spread the word, get your family involved, and help us invest in the future of our amazing school. Thank you!

~Mr. Goffron

HEY MAMA, NEED A NIGHT FOR YOU?
You’re invited to a warm, welcoming night created just for women like you — in the thick of life and trying to find a moment to breathe. Grace & Gather Women’s Ministry - Kick-Off Celebration. Tuesday, September 23 | 6:30–8:00 PM St Peter Life Center 

We know how full life can feel, and how easy it is to pour into everyone else while running on empty. That’s why we’ve created Grace & Gather, a once-a-month evening for women to pause, connect with other women, and be spiritually refreshed.

You don’t have to know anyone to come, just show up as you are. Whether you're new to the school, been here a while, or simply craving real community, you’ll be met with smiles, stories, and space to exhale.

What’s in store:
• BBQ Dinner Provided 
• Making meaningful connections with other women 
• A short time in God’s Word
• Conversation and laughter 

This is your invitation to stop running solo — and start walking with a community of moms and women who get it. Save the Dates for the Season: October 28, December 2 – Christmas Gathering, January 27, February 24, March 17, April 28, June 2. You belong here. Come find connection, encouragement, and grace — one gathering at a time.
