VOTERS' MEETING 5/17/25
Our next meeting will take place on Saturday, May 17, immediately following our 5:00 pm worship service. We’d love for you to join us for worship that night, but if you can only attend the meeting, plan to arrive around 6:00 pm. We try to keep the overall meeting length to around one hour.

The first part of the meeting will include two important action items: electing 2 members to the Governing Board and ratifying our Annual Budget for the 2025/26 fiscal year. The slate of candidates for the 2 positions include Mike Bertermann and Stacy Larson, both of whom are currently serving on the Board and are eligible for another term. We rejoice in their current and future service to St. Peter.

To get a high level overview of the meeting itself, including a report on this year’s projected financial results and the budget for next year, watch this video from Pastor Micah that walks through what will be shared at the meeting. To take a closer look at the Projected Results for 2024/25 and the Annual Budget for 2025/26, click HERE.

The remainder of this meeting will then focus on plans to renovate our church and school facilities as part of our long-range campus renovation plan. Earlier this Spring, we conducted a Feasibility Study for the Capital Campaign that will be needed to raise the funds for the renovation work. As anticipated, the results of that report came back very favorably, and so we are excited to move forward with both the campaign and the renovation work.

For those interested, an abridged version of the report from the Feasibility Study is available for your review HERE, along with a longer version available through the Main Office.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about any of the topics we will be discussing at this meeting, feel free to ask ahead of time in person or by email, and we’ll be happy to get you the answers you are seeking. We are excited to see what God will do in and through all of us, as together we Lead People to a Full Life in Christ [John 10:10] and See Lives and Communities Transformed as We Become More Like Jesus!

KIDMIN CORNER
St. Peter Kids will be wrapping up our year this Sunday, May 18th with a blast! Specifically some NERF blasts! I promised the kiddos I'd make up for forgetting Star Wars day by creating some fun activities that will help us spread the love of Jesus throughout the galaxy.

For the NERF portion of the morning, please bring your own NERF blaster (Standard size ammunition please. No MEGA darts and no RIVAL balls.) with your name on it. If you have an extra or two to share, please bring those with your name on them as well. I know not everyone has one at home, and we only have about 10 extras. We will provide the NERF darts and safety glasses. 

Be sure to keep checking the Fully Alive for some fun summer plans we'll have on offer including some devotional books to help you and your family become More Like Jesus. Thank you for partnering with us as you help your young disciples lead people to a Full Life in Christ!

An Early Childhood teaching assistant is a great way to work a few hours, be an active part of your child's school, and receive a tuition discount (based on hours contracted). It's also a great job for retired teachers, stay-at-home Moms who have older kids, local college students, & many others.
