Rally Day 2009

Our Rally Day worship service will take place on September 13th, 10 AM at the pavilion in Stadium Park. Following the service, we will have a bouncing gym set up for kids, and enjoy a potluck lunch. More details coming soon!

Organ Update

It has come to our attention that we need to update our organ which has become outdated and increasingly impossible to repair. The main console is so outdated that replacement parts can no longer be found to replace anything that breaks.

After consulting with Lima Pipe Organ Company and organ professionals throughout the area, we have chosen an update which will cost us $27,500.

Organ music has been a central element in the worship style of St. Peter Lutheran for many years. Your contributions to the Organ Fund will help keep our equipment up to date and provide for quality music in worship for many years to come. You may send a gift to our church (address provided on main page) with "Organ Fund" in the memo.

We thank you for your consistent care and support of God’s work in our congregation, and for considering our need.

Young Adult Gathering

Young adults from the Lutheran churches in the Lima area are invited to a potluck dinner at Kendrick Woods, Friday, August 28th at 5:30 PM. “Young adults” are generally considered as those in their 20’s and 30’s, but we won’t be checking anyone’s ID. Those with kids are invited to bring them along. You may also invite other young adult friends who would appreciate the fellowship. Table service will be provided, but please bring your own beverages and dish to share. Kendrick Woods has a fishing pond, walking trails, a sand volleyball court, and a playground. It is located in Spencerville at 971 N. Defiance Trail. In case of rain, we’ll meet at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church – 209 W. North St. in Lima. Call or email the church if you have any questions.

Lincoln Highway Garage Sale

The Lincoln Highway Garage Sale will be held August 6-8. Spaces in our church parking lot are available for rent. Please call the church office for more details - 419-695-2616.

Bake Sale Information:
Bonnie & Dan M. will be heading up a church fundraiser, selling sandwiches, beverages and baked goods in the church parking lot during the Lincoln Highway Garage Sale, Thursday, August 6th to Saturday, August 8th. The food booth will be open on Thursday, noon to 8 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations of baked goods and beverages are needed and can be brought up to the church on Wednesday night before 7:45 p.m. or any time during the garage sale. They can be packaged individually for a quick snack for people, or in bigger packages to take home to a family. Donations of beverages to sell would also be appreciated—bottled water and cans of soda. We would also like volunteers to help work during the garage sale. A sign-up sheet is in the red binder.

Campfire Worship

Back by popular demand…join us on Wednesday, August 12th at 7 PM for a special outdoor service. Our guitarists will lead the songs on the guitar in this special worship experience. Then stick around for friendly fun around the campfire – we’ll have S’mores!

We will have folding chairs available, but you may want to bring your own comfortable lawn chair. Hope to see you there!!
