A Word from Pastor Karl

Here’s why you should sign up for VBS at St. Peter's coming up July 20–24th: because a week does what Sundays alone can't.


Kids are going to hear God’s love for them from the Scriptures, and they're going to learn generous giving by supporting local missions. All of this is going to be wrapped up in fun, games, crafts, and songs.


Faith, community, and service. That's why VBS matters.


If this sounds good to you, get signed up today. Don't wait!
