Saints Update 11/7/25

November 7, 2025 View this email in your browser

One of my favorite hours of the school week is our weekly chapel - a time to worship as a community and focus our attention on the one true king. We also use this time to focus on service to our community. Last week we collected food items for Jehovah Food Pantry in the city and this next quarter we have the opportunity to collect spare change to fill our baby bottles to support Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries which in turn will support mothers with prenatal care and support. Thank you for being an active part of these service opportunities; I believe there is true value in giving students an opportunity to be the hands & feet of Jesus. One of the pillars of our Portrait of a Graduate is being Joyfully Generous! The world needs the love and care of our Christian community, and our St. Peter family is called to share our time/talents/treasures with those in need.

Next week in chapel we will have a special prayer for our veterans in honor of Veteran’s Day. Please email schooloffice@fulllifeinchrist.org with the names of the veterans in your home or family for us to lift up in prayer during our worship time. As always, families are encouraged to join us for worship and we extend an especially warm welcome to our veterans for next week’s chapel at 8:45am.
