LESSONS FROM BONHOEFFER & MLK: LET LOVE LEAD US IN 2026
Resisting Christian Nationalism and Building the Beloved Community with King and Bonhoeffer
Join us for a day with internationally renowned Bonhoeffer scholars, Dr. Stephen Haynes and Dr. Reggie Williams.

Being rooted in learning and worship, we’ll dream together about how to make a world to best live into our own calls to seek justice and peace.

Longest Night / Blue Christmas Service
Welcome to this Healing Service, a time when we can, in community with each other, acknowledge sadness, grief, loneliness, separation and other hard emotions we may feel this Christmas time.
This is a time of the short days and long nights, when memories of past experiences and the pain of the present reality can become overwhelming.
Recognizing that this is not a season of unbridled joy for everyone, in this service we will be invited to reflect on the pain, the loneliness and the sorrow we may feel and offer it all to our great sign of hope, the Holy Child of Bethlehem.
We pray that all of us will find hope and comfort in knowing that we are not alone.

First Sunday of Advent
HOPE
“The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” - John 1:14
“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.” - John Lennon, Imagine
Prayer:
We thank you, God, for the hope that is in our hearts, the hope that we long for, the hop for things not yet seen. We believe that hope will find fruit in our lives and in the lives of others. Give us faith to believe in a deferred hope, that others who succeed us may share in the fruits of our labor. May the works of our hands and the ministry we share find hope in others, both now and in the future. Amen.

All Saints Sunday
All Saints' Day celebration has a long history in the worship life of the Christian Church. It began as a commemoration of the martyrs who had died for the faith, and it has since become a day when we honor and remember those who, in death, have joined the Church Triumphant, as well as the faithful saints of the present who serve Jesus Christ. Martin Luther held that all Christians are simultaneously sinner and saint--a sinner because of our rebellious nature, but a saint because of salvation in Jesus.
During the worship service, we will honor the memory of those saints in the St. Peter’s community who have died in the last year, as well as celebrate the saints who have joined St. Peter’s through the sacrament of baptism in the last year.
High School Youth Group
All High School age youth are invited to join us for group activities, snacks, sprinkled with some Scripture :).
