The Church gives thanks for St. Michael and all Angels St. Peter Worship Sunday, September 25th

Welcome to St. Peter! For 1500 years the Christian Church has celebrated the Festival of St Michael and All Angels near the autumnal equinox, the day of 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness. As we watch the nights grow longer and the days shorter, we are reminded of the struggle between the forces of light (the angel armies of God) and the forces of darkness (the demonic forces of Satan). Today’s hymns, readings and prayers emphasize God’s love to us through the ministry of his powerful angels.

Welcome to St. Peter! There are friendship registers at the end of each pew. Please take a moment to give us your information so that we have a record of your time with us today. Thank you!

For Our Guests If you have questions, let us try to help. Speak with an usher, greeter, or the person next to you. If you’d like to learn more about St. Peter and its ministry, please talk to a pastor or member after the service.

Prayer before Worship Heavenly Father, no matter what dilemma I face, or tragedy I endure, I never have to be afraid because I am not alone. Thank you for your promise to be with me as well as for your angels who are by my side to protect me at all times. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Please be courteous and silence all pagers and cell phones. Thank you

OUR COMMUNION PRACTICE In the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we express unity with our Savior and those who share our faith and stand on the teachings of God’s Word. Therefore, we invite to our altar those who are members of St. Peter or members of the WELS/ELS. Visitors who wish to commune are asked to speak to a pastor before the service begins.
