Sunday school
St. Peter's has Sunday school for all ages. At 9:30am on Sundays, we break into three Sunday school classes: pre-k through 6th grade, 7th through 12th grade, and at least one adult class. Classes are a mix of learning and discussion as we grow in faith together. Topics come from the scripture readings for the day, or maybe a special church season topic during Advent, Lent, Easter, or during the summer.

Prayer Ministry Team
St. Peter’s Prayer Ministry is an intercessory prayer group. This group prays not only for the church prayer list, but also prays for additional requests and concerns that are confidential. Members of the Prayer Ministry Team receive information by email weekly and pray individually when it is convenient for them. If you have prayer concerns or requests and/or if you feel called to be part of this important ministry, contact Janette Clausen through the church office (830-693-2253 / lutheran@splcmf.org).
