The 2025-2026 Midweek Christian Education School is every Wednesday from 6-7PM, at the church for all students preschool age to 8th grade.

The students begin with the parents’ “sign in their children” per safety plan, then a chapel opening, followed by individual classroom instructions and ends with a chapel group prayer.

The children voted to continue to have a mission project, in which they will decide where the collection of quarters will be sent at the end of May 2026.

Each week the students will place quarters in our mission tube (located at the entry door into the sanctuary).  We encourage the congregation members to join this mission project.

ANYONE who would like to donate snacks/drinks for the students, PLEASE REMEMBER NO DYES (red/blue/yellow, etc.).  There is a collection container under the narthex table.  THANK YOU for supporting the Midweek Students!!  We currently have 33 students enrolled.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 As you are probably aware Zion Lutheran Church in Chanute has requested a meeting with a committee from St. Peter’s to discuss a possible partnership. The meeting is scheduled for October 13^th with President Panzer mediating. Any final decision concerning a partnership would be made by the Voters’ Assembly of the church. If you want to be part of the decision you need to be a voting member.

     Per the By-Laws of the church, a voting member is: “Any eligible person (a communicant member age 18 or older) desiring voting membership in this governing body shall request said membership of the President during a regular Voters’ Meeting. The governing body shall welcome such application. The applicant shall sign the Constitution and be given a copy   thereof. The applicant shall then have the right to vote at the next regular meeting.”

     Notice that a person cannot ask for membership at their first meeting and also vote at that meeting. They cannot vote until their second meeting. The next scheduled voters’ meeting is October 12. No decision about a partnership will be made at that meeting. However, if you are not a voting member you need to attend that meeting and become a voting member to be able to vote at subsequent meetings when a decision may be made. If you are not sure if you are a voting member, contact our Congregational Secretary, Mary Bulk.

      If you have any questions or concerns for the committee (Joseph Jennings, Lynn Lytle, Leon Storck and Alan Hauser) please feel free to contact them or if you’d like to speak to Pastor Jennings, please feel free. Open lines of communication and complete transparency are extremely important.
