Celebrating 75 Years!
This summer, we will have some fun collecting things as we continue to journey through our 75th year of ministry as St. Peter Lutheran Church. First, we will try to collect 75 God-Sightings! Grab a sticky note, write down a God- Sighting, and post it on the glass wall near the office door. Second, look for the number 75, or 75 things, or something that reminds you of the number 75 and take a picture. Email it to us (stpeter@stpetersheboygan.com) and we will print it out and hang it up. You can also print it yourself and bring it in to hang up. If you can’t take a picture, write about what you saw about the number 75 on a sticky note and put that on the wall by the office door. Let’s enjoy celebrating our 75th anniversary!
