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 on our Church Center app.

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