Nursery Volunteers and Snacks Needed

We are excited to have Janya G. as our new nursery coordinator. However, we are looking for volunteers to help Janya in the nursery each week. A signup sheet is located in the red sign-up binder in the back of the church.

The nursery also welcomes snack donations. Individually-packaged juice boxes and snack items are preferred. You may drop off your donation in the nursery, or at the church office.

DVD and CD Players Needed for Education Programs

The Pre-K/K Sunday School classroom is in need of a CD player. We would also like a DVD player and a CD player for the confirmation room. If you are able to donate one of these items in good working condition, please contact Pastor Katherine.

Volunteer Spotlight: The Noodle-Makers

Delicious, homemade noodles have been one of St. Peter’s tastiest fund-raising products over the years. At just $3 per bag, they are quite a bargain, too! Last year, St. Peter Lutheran sold 196 pounds of noodles, for a total of $588. When these funds were doubled by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, our church’s ministries benefited to the tune of $1,176.00.

Before a typical noodle-making day begins, volunteers come to crack and separate the eggs. This is a sticky process! The next afternoon, the primary ingredients are mixed together. Then the dough rests until the evening. At that time, more volunteers gather to mix a little more flour into the dough, and then they run the dough through the noodle machines. The noodles are dried overnight, and the next day the noodles are weighed and put into 1 lb. bags.

As you can see, a lot of work goes into the making of St. Peter’s delicious noodles. Volunteers are always welcome, and especially needed at this time. The next noodle-making day is yet to be scheduled, but your weekly bulletin will let you know when the next one comes about. To volunteer, just show up or call the church for more information. If you want to purchase noodles, your next chance to do so will be at the Craft and Bake Sale held at First Federal Bank on Friday, November 21st.

Interested in Serving on Church Council?

Each year in early December, new officers are elected to the church council. The church council meets monthly, and prayerfully provides leadership and guidance within the church. This year, we would like to include a brief biography on each candidate on the ballots. We do this so that those who run will prayerfully consider their call to serve, and that those voting may prayerfully consider who to elect. If you are interested in running for church council, please pick up a candidate information form from the church office, and return it by November 16th.

Mowana Youth Retreat – Drivers and Chaperones Needed

We will need drivers and chaperones for November’s Mowana Youth Retreat (see previous page for details). If you would like to help in either way, please contact Pastor Katherine!
