For many years, St. Peter has been working hard to pay down the church mortgage. The current rate of our 5-year balloon is 3.35% and it comes due in November. St. Peter has made tremendous strides in decreasing the mortgage over the past 5 years – over $93,500. We all should be congratulated on this progress.
The current amount on the mortgage is approximately $220,850. Our refinance rate is expected to be between 7% and 15% which will increase our monthly payment by $700 or more per month. The finance team is looking at multiple options, from local banks/credit unions, regional banks and refinancing through an ELCA fund for churches to find the best possible rate and terms possible.
The finance team will continue to look at commercial mortgage rates and if a decrease of 1-2 % occurs during the life of the next loan, we will seek to refinance. It is also anticipated St. Peter’s mortgage will be paid off in 10 years.

Lutheran World Relief School Kits
We are so close to reaching our goal! We are still in need of notebooks, blunt scissors, boxes of crayons, rulers, and pens. There are post it notes on the office wall requesting these supplies. Please grab a post it (or two) and help us fill the school bags on September 28th – assembly day! Please place your donations in the bin on the table in front of the office. Thank you!
Thank you, people of St. Peter, for all you do to help with Lutheran World Relief donations. We are in need of lightweight dark BATH towels and HAND towels for our layette and personal care kits. We can fill the need with your help. Thank you.
Many thanks to all who have been working and continue to work as a team for this ministry. We have done 132 adult and 32 children’s quilts so far in 2025. Join us for quilting on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month from 9:00am to noon, in the Quadrooms.
Join us on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month in the Quadrooms from 9:00am to noon. If you have the desire to serve, sew, create, wrap, write…then this is a day for you!! You could bundle Layette Kits or Personal Care Kits for LWR, address envelopes for WELCA – the list of needs is long. You need a project? We can help!
Fidget Mats Plus has had many compliments on our mats but a request has been made that we make mats heavier. A design has been created to make an inner panel using pillowcases cut to fit mat size and sectioned into pockets for rice. The panel is then placed in a plastic bag for safety against wetness. This is then sandwiched and sewn between the top and bottom panels of the mat to secure. Our sample has been tried and accepted. Got to give thanks for creativity! Join us each Thursday from 10:00am until noon in the Quadrooms.
