One Week Hiatus for Sunday School!

Sunday School is on a one week hiatus!

Sunday School is on break this week but will be returning soon and Confirmation Class will be starting up as soon as Pastor gets back from vacation. Families will be sent an email with the schedule for the year and there is already a homework assignment! If you don't know what it is then you missed worship last week...

We are looking for volunteers to help teach. Sunday School runs from right after the Children's message until the start of Communion (unless they're doing something super fun). We are hoping to get 3-6 additional volunteers so that we can schedule everyone for leading Sunday School no more than once a month. If you might be interested please or if you have a kiddo to participate in Sunday School but you might have a question or three, please contact Pastor Suloff or Lisa in the Church Office.

Oh yeah, and just for fun, Trunk or Treat is October 26th so mark your calendars!

Sunday School and Confirmation Class

Sunday School and Confirmation Class NEXT SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28!

If you have a little kid (ages 3 through whatever) that is interested in Sunday School just let us know. Older kids tend to become "helpers" with the younger kids. We are hoping to begin in the end of September but to do that we need a little help! We are looking for volunteers to help teach. Sunday School runs from right after the Children's message until the start of Communion (unless they're doing something super fun). We are hoping to get 3-6 additional volunteers so that we can schedule everyone for leading Sunday School no more than once a month. If you might be interested please or if you have a kiddo to participate in Sunday School but you might have a question or three, please contact Pastor Suloff or Lisa in the Church Office.

Also, Confirmation Class will be starting at the end of September! Confirmation Class is really Affirmation of Baptism, ultimately learning about, and considering, our faith and what we think and believe. Confirmation Class is typically done in 7th and 8th grade. If you care interested in having your child participate in Confirmation Class, or have questions, please contact Pastor Suloff.

Oh yeah, and just for fun, Trunk or Treat is October 26th so mark your calendars!

So, we are inviting you to join us.  If you enjoy creating-whether it's painting, sewing, writing, crafting, crocheting, knitting or any other expression of creativity-we invite you to prayerfully consider making and donating something from your heart.  Your gift, no matter how big or small, can bring light and joy to someone walking a difficult journey.  You are welcome to create as many items as you like—it can be 1 or more.  The deadline to gather all donations will be announced at a later date.  

If you'd like to participate or have any questions, please contact Joann Kirschenmann

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

From Laurie Suarez:  "A student of mine was diagnosed with cancer half way through his 3rd grade year in January 2024 and I picked up a prayer shawl from church and sent it home with his brother to give to him….  I'm happy to report he successfully completed all of his treatments and is in remission now.  He was able to return to school last fall and completed his fourth grade year without any additional health incidents.  This touched me personally and made me want to join the prayer shawl ministry to contribute in some way to this very special group! I am not at the level to be crocheting prayer shawls yet but am grateful that the coffee cozies I am able to make at home are able to be distributed and enjoyed by patients staying at Hope Lodge."

Do you have a story to share about gifting a prayer shawl to someone? We’d love to hear it!

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

Last week I was informed that a family friend (Roy) had emergency surgery for a brain tumor.  His daughter and son were planning to go to the hospital in Pittsburgh that weekend to visit him.  I stopped at church that day and picked out a prayer shawl and dropped it off at his daughter’s house to take with them and gift to their father.  At their visit, she sent me a photo of her father with the shawl draped over him and the biggest smile on his face.  What a sight!  I was certain gifting the shawl was well received.  Then, a couple of days later, I received a voice message on Messenger from Roy.  It was an emotional message thanking me for the shawl, saying it was “an inspiration all day and makes me feel wonderful.”  Roy has some very difficult days ahead of him in treating this aggressive cancer, but I have no doubt the shawl provides him a  spiritual connectedness to God and those who are praying for him, and will be a powerful part of his treatment.

Do you have a story to share about gifting a prayer shawl to someone?  We’d love to hear it!

Hope Lodge Dinner - August 6th

Hope Lodge Dinner - Wednesday, August 6th

We will once again be making dinner for Hope Lodge this coming Wednesday and we need volunteers! Hope Lodge is a place for folks to stay when they need to travel into the Philadelphia area for cancer treatments because we are blessed with many great hospitals in this area and our role is to help the folks staying there feel at home. Join us either on August 6th or in spirit by making something ahead of time. A SignUp Genius link can be found using the link below and if you have any questions please email Matt Clark.

From Matt Clark,

A few things. We are asking for the main course that people make trays of stuffed shells. We will bake the shells at the Hope Lodge but ask that the prep be done prior. I will put trays with lids in the Narthex for people to use. 

If anyone needs to drop anything off, I will do collection in the church parking lot on Monday, August 4, 2025. I have to be at another Hope Lodge Dinner on the 5th.   

Thank you again for all of your help at the Hope Lodge. 

All the best, Matt

Fourth of July Parade!

THE FOURTH OF JULY!

We are very excited for our 4th of July celebrations at St. Peter’s Luther Church. We hope that you can join us for some or all of the activities we will be doing. 

We will be meeting on July 3rd at 5 PM in the fellowship hall to do the pre-work to decorate the truck for the parade. Pizza and soda will be served. We will need large cardboard boxes to decorate the truck, so if you have any you can spare, please bring them to the church. 

On July 4th, the parade will begin at 10 PM. If you plan to walk in the parade, please meet us at REYA on Germantown Avenue (our normal meeting spot for the parade) by 9:30 AM. As we have done in past years, we will be handing out ice pops. If you would like to come early and help put the finishing touches on the truck, please meet us at the church at 8 AM. 

Also on July 4th, we will be meeting at the church at 2 PM to ring the church bells. On July 4th, church bells, along with other bells across the nation, are rung 13 times at 2 PM ET to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the original 13 colonies. This tradition, known as “Let Freedom Ring,” was officially established in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. Following the ringing of the church bells, we will have a picnic at the church where hot dogs, chips and desserts will be served. The picnic will be a BYOB event. The church’s alcohol policy only permits beer or wine so please stick to one of these options. 

All our welcome. We look forward to seeing you on the 4th. 

If you have any questions please contact Matt Clark.

God Bless America.
