Brotherhood News for May 2022
God's healing blessings to all from your Brotherhood, who are suffering for any reason.
This is a time of lights and tunnels. We are once again faced with the prospects of lights at the end a very long tunnel, this one called 'pandemic'. Easter saw the reincarnation of a wonderfully planned and executed Easter season with a delicious breakfast at St. Peter's. Just as good food is a blessing, so too, are the ones involved in the planning and serving. It was great to see the kids working hard to keep bowls and glasses filled. Awesome.
We also were honored to witness the weekly soup offering(s) of Lorinda Broughton. I cannot speak for all, but Mary and I were amazed by the variety of flavors and looked forward to each new selection. The mouth still waters as I type.
The Brotherhood met this month and was blessed with a wider variety now than in the past, of 'people present'. Thanks to Nancy Schutte for being in attendance and offering ideas for future Brotherhood involvement. As I have always said, "There is no such thing as a bad idea, only those that are better than others." We continually encourage all members of St. Peter's Lutheran Church to provide guidance, encouragement and a wide variety of possibilities as we continue to move out of pandemic and back into a semblance of what 'Christian normal' is.
The Loganville garage sale opportunity is quickly approaching once again. Gather all your pack-ratted and no longer loved treasures into a group, put prices on them and get them to Carolyn and Dale Meyers garage. It saves time to have them labeled ahead with a price. We can use as many helping hands as possible during the sale process. The dates are: 05/05 thru 05/07. Start times will be around 7:00 a.m. till about 3 p.m., except for Saturday which will conclude at about noon. Any time commitment would be greatly appreciated. The fellowship opportunity is always there, when and wherever we meet. It can be fun. Bring a chair to sit. Wear warm clothes if it's cold. Bring your appetite as well, because there will be a youth brat sale taking place right in front of Judd Realty. There will also be a bake sale. (Yum-yum)
Plan to break out, my brothers and sisters. We are Christians. We will not be stifled. Satan has tried its wiles and is losing once again. Spring is here and we are ready to rock (n' roll is optional)
Happy trails and trials and may God bless.

Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it u under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they many see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” As we build a closer relationship with God, don’t keep your light hidden. Think of ways to be a server and let your light shine.

Looking ahead Vacation Bible School will be June 19 – June 23. The theme is the “Tree of Healing”. We kick off the week Sunday June 19th, with a party in the park. “We will have a potluck, followed by singing, games and fellowship. All are welcome. Then on Monday, June 20th, VBS will start with a meal served at 5pm, followed by a lesson and other activities, Vicar Nathaniel will be leading VBS, however we need some volunteers to help with the games, crafts and other activities.

President's May Message
May 2022
This monthly column will be one way to share information to you about happenings within Council; I’ll strive to be open, transparent, understanding, and responsive in exchange for the faith you’ve placed in me as your Council President.
April 19, 2022, Council Meeting
Council’s strategic planning this month considered thought-provoking topics involving community outreach; as well as how willing are we to act outside our comfort zones? Pew Cards have been placed alongside our communion cards, for any visitors as well as those members wishing a pastoral visit/call. You can place the card in the collection plate. Property maintenance included paint touch-up of the Sacristy and Sound Room doors. Additionally, a railing will be installed on the parsonage patio near the rock wall, per insurance request. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have also been inspected per insurance request. Anyone wishing to borrow church property should contact the office. Karen Judd and I will be attending the Synod Assembly as voting members May 6-7.
Given Pastor Don’s resignation, please know that I’ve been in close communication with the South Central Synod office for guidance and next steps. Additional information will be shared once it’s known. In the meantime, please reach out to me if you have questions or concerns.
Thank You Muchow Heating and Air Conditioning for the use of their lift during the Sanctuary lights rewiring last month! And a huge shout-out to those folks who assisted with that work.
