Welcome to St. Peter! On Mother’s Day weekend, we give thanks for our Christian moms whose diligence and dedication in caring for their families is a tremendous gift from God. Proverbs 31:30 says “…a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Today we give thanks for all of you as you serve the Lord in one of the highest callings on earth.

Welcome to St. Peter! There are friendship registers at the end of each pew. Please take a moment to give us your information so that we have a record of your time with us today. Thank you!
