WE STILL NEED A FEW VOLUNTEERS.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: THIS FRIDAY We have an incredible opportunity to collect gently used furniture from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in Deerfield—items that will greatly bless our partner ministries in South Africa, including our schools and the Lutheran Seminary in Pretoria.
We’re looking for volunteers who can lend a hand with collecting, loading, and storing these items.
📅 Date: Friday, December 19 ⏰ Time: Starting at 11:00 AM (finished by 5:00 PM) 📍 Pick-Up Location: Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
2065 Half Day Rd, Deerfield, IL 60015
For those available to help a little longer, we will then unload the U-Haul at a supporting LCMS church in Waukegan, where the furniture will be stored until it can be shipped.
📍 Drop-Off Location:
2720 N McAree Rd, Waukegan, IL 60087
Your time and muscle will make a meaningful difference for our partners in ministry. Thank you for considering jumping in to help! If you’re able to join us, please let us know.

FIRM FOUNDATION, FAITHFUL FUTURE PLEDGES – ONLINE GIVING AND STOCK DONATIONS We have been blessed to receive many pledges for our Firm Foundation, Faithful Future capital campaign! If you plan to use online giving to make any one-time or recurring donations to fulfill your pledge or to support the campaign, our Finance Team can help walk you through the process, but we can’t do it for you. It is fairly simple to make changes to your online giving through the Church Center app or on our website, but please reach out to Sherry Hoffman (224-387-3833/shoffman@fulllifeinChrist.org) or Pam Pearson (224-387-3827/ppearson@fulllifeinChrist.org) for any questions or technical issues. If you are planning to donate stock/securities to St. Peter, please contact Sherry Hoffman for instructions on transferring securities. When you donate securities, please be sure to contact St. Peter finance to let them know the name of the securities being transferred as well as which fund(s) your donations are to benefit. The brokerage firms do not always supply the donors name, etc.
DONATING BLOOD CAN SAVE A LIFE During the holiday season, we realize money doesn't grow on Christmas trees! Donating blood at the upcoming drive at St. Peter on December 27th will help you refill your wallet as each donor receives a $25 e-gift card. Even more importantly, you are serving someone who is sick this holiday season and may not be able to enjoy the gift of time with their families. Please sign up HERE.
