The

St. Peters Lutheran Church, Lexington SC

News for St. Peters family and friends Dear Members and Friends of the St. Peters Family: We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his powers and his mighty wonders. Psalm 78:4 But too many of our parents are hiding these truths from their children when they fail to bring them every Sunday to Sunday School. You know, our childrens Sunday School classes at St. Peters should be full and running over every Sunday. Thats how many children we have in this church. Those classes should be so full that we have to appoint a building committee to figure out how to add more space. But they arent full...not nearly as full as they should be. We arent bringing our children to Sunday School as we should so they can learn about the glorious deeds of the Lord. You know, many of us regularly lament the direction our country and our society and culture are headed in. It all seems to become more godless every day. If we want that to change, we have to make sure children know about the glorious deeds of the Lord. We have to make sure they learn the Ten Commandments, that they learn about God and His grace and love, that they learn the Beatitudes and all the teachings of Jesus. The truth is, Christianity is always only one generation away from extinction. We must teach our children and we must teach them well or God will be forgotten in our Land. When we parents brought our children to be Baptized, we promised God that we would provide for their instruction in the Christian faith and that surely includes bringing them to Sunday School., for that is where much of that instruction takes place. Its where they learn the stories of the Bible, about the heros and heroines of our faith, about the teachings of the Bible and the church. Its where they learn about Jesus, about how God wants us to live, about how Jesus wants us to treat one another. So parents and grandparents...lets not hide these truths from our children at St. Peters. Lets bring them every Sunday to Sunday School so they can learn about Jesus and his love. In joyful partnership with you in Christ,

Words cannot express how thankful we are for St. Peters prayers and support. Our gift of $1048.66 is so appreciated. What a wonderful Christmas surprise! Immanuel is enjoying our first pastor, Pastor Gary Blobaum. It has been a pleasure to develop consistent worship practices with him as well as to learn from him during Bible studies. We continue to explore opportunities to reach out to our community and trust that the Lord will lead in the direction He would have us go. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Philemon 1:25. We pray that the Lord continue to bless St. Peters and that your ministry flourish. In Christian Love, Susan Keefe Council President

THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE LHS FIT PROGRAM As

coordinator of the Lexington High School FIT (Food Improving Thinking), I want to thank our church members for supporting our program with monetary donations as well as food items. The program provides students with a back pack for the weekend which includes six meals, two snacks, fruit, and juice drinks. These students would not otherwise have meals during the weekend as their families do not have enough money to purchase groceries. So, to all of you who have helped us in the past and continue to support our program, I want to thank you by saying, When you care for the least of these, you also care for Me. Clyde Sanders

From Streetside Ministry

Dear Pastor Rawl and Congregation and Paulette,

I wish to express my deepest appreciation for all your thoughts, prayers, calls, visits and delicious food you sent my way after my recent surgery. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful and caring church family. May God continue to bless each and every one of you. Ann Rowell

On behalf of the homeless community in Columbia, we, at Streetside Ministry, want to thank you for St. Peters generous donation of blankets and shoes. At this time of year, as temperatures drop and shelters fill up, these people face new challenges in addition to diminishing numbers of locations offering warm meals. We visited your Missions Market and in addition to finding some wonderful bargains you provided us with boxes of warm blankets and mens shoes. These were distributed to our friends on the street within the week and were so appreciated. Streetside Ministry is made up of folks from various area churches, schools, businesses and families who come together once a week to minister physically and spiritually to the homeless men and women in Columbia. If anyone at St. Peters would like to accompany us on any Monday evening to share a hot meal, an encouraging word and the love of Jesus Christ to the least of those they would be more than welcome. Please contact me at (803) 604-1111 and we will provide additional information and answer any question they may have. Yours in Christ, Evelyn Yngve, Streetside Minstry

The Worship and Music Committee would like to inform you that
Tina McGready has resigned from her position of Accompanist at St. Peters as of February 23, 2014. We wish Tina the very best and thank her for giving us the opportunity of listening to her beautiful music. Tina, thank you for leading our worship services and giving us music that lifts our spirits.! We will have Coffee Hour on February 23 in honor of Tina, so mark your calendar and come join us!

I am a Princess not because I have a Prince But because my Father is a King

St. Peters is planning a Princess themed mother-daughter-friend tea. What a

great way to honor the special ladies in your life with special entertainment and, of course, food fit for royalty. The tea will be held in the Parish Life Center on Sunday, May 18, 2014 from 3:00-5:00. Mark your calendar now and invite your mothers, daughters and friends. Everyone is welcome. Additional information, including ticket prices, will be available soon.

Faith Formation in Progress

St. Peters High School Sunday School class is studying Christian denominations using a book called One Christ, Many Creeds, published by Concordia House Publishers. Our youth are discovering how Lutherans are similar to other varieties of Christians and how we are different and why these differences even matter at all. They are tackling many difficult issues and are getting quite a spiritual workout looking up, reading, and discussing the biblical foundations for Lutheran doctrine. It is exciting to see the faith of these young men and women grow more vibrant each week. Ask one of them about what they are learning. You may be surprised by what you learn!

The Lands of the Bible Cruise If you have ever dreamed of visiting the Holy Land, 2014
could be your year! Dr. Monte Luker invites you to join him on a 16 day educational excursion through Malta, Naples and Silcily, Italy; Corinth and Athens, Greece; Ephesus, Turkey; and Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and the Galilee, Israel October 17th-31st. The theme for the pilgrimage will be Rediscovering the Bible in the Lands Where It Happened. Dr. Luker is a wonderful teacher, and his tours really bring the Bible to life. If you are interested in learning more about this exciting opportunity, please contact Vicar Paulette. SAVE THE DATE FOR VBS Vacation Bible School 2014 will be Sunday, July 13-Thursday July 17. (Please note the change from the previously announced date.) More details will be coming soon and we hope you will all plan to come and bring your friends. Its always a fun week at St. Peters!

From David E. Davis, your missionary in Brazil

Dear Friends, Thanks so much for one more year of support and prayers for this ministry. Pray I get one or more short-term helpers to spread my workload -- maybe I'll get more correspondence out in English next year! For pictures: www.facebook.com/davidedavis?fref=ts Lately here in Ouro Fino it's been like how it must have been in Israel about 2000 years ago: Joseph and Mary running like crazy as their family was about to grow from 2 to 3, the government only making things more challenging, some who would have wanted to be there to help couldn't, but God sent others both rich and humble to give continuity to the ministry, and in the end, God's plan of Salvation was presented and spread. So pray for Hope & Life School as we grow from 2 to 3 foster homes, wrestle with governments that give as many headaches as resources, our foster mom Celia who's been away for surgery together with her daughter (our coordinator) helping her -- leaving me and our director to hold down the office in this busiest time of the year. But lots of people are coming with presents for the kids, food stuffs, more people to see the project, even scheduling day-long parties for the kids. And in all, God's plan of Salvation is presented and spread. Prayer & Praise: Praise God that most of our staff held together despite our first two foster homes being overloaded all year long, and half our staff also had bouts with kidney stones. Pray too for our family court judge and social workers who are also very overloaded. Praise God for Celia's successful surgery -- now pray for a quick and complete recovery. Praise God for a couple who just arrived to start training as foster parents -- maybe we can open home #3 as soon as Celia gets back! Praise God for a continued rise in local donations and volunteers. Pray it continues to fully cover the operation of house #3 and that we get Brazilian social security tax exemption. Pray for two more couples next year: for house #4 and to help cover staff and school vacations. Praise God for the fantastic work group from Cross Central Church of Lexington, SC in September which re-roofed future house #4. And praise God for Denis, a local electrician, who helped me have things ready for them. Praise God for the mutually helpful relationship that has grown between us and a local Christian re -hab ministry this year -- without their labor house #3 would not be finished, nor house #4 roofed! Praise God for the fruit of several weeks of grant writing. So far: use of a used car from the impound yard, funds for one new car, and possibly 2/3 of the funds for a larger central dining room/chapel. Continue praying for another van. Pray for two or more work groups next year from South Carolina. Pray for funds to: -- replace/install solar water heater systems on three homes +/-US$10,000, -- counterpart government funds for a larger dining room/chapel +/- US$5,000, and -- finish construction of house #4 and another apartment +/- US$20,000. -- Let me know if anyone else is interested in an individual, family, or group work project! Praise God for local Bible institute students who helped tutor some of our kids and weekly visited ten families of current and past foster kids. Pray more may be reached with counseling and Bible studies next year! Praise God that several kids who couldn't go back to their biological families were placed for adoption, but pray for many others (mostly 5 -13 years old, sibling groups, and three with special educational needs) that still need new families to call their own. Praise God for better county psychologists and social workers this year, ones that also want to help start a local adoption support group. Praise God for better vocational training prospects for our older teens in 2014. Praise God for Stefanie, a teen mom that has blossomed into a mature and responsible young lady this last semester. Pray for Ana Beatriz our other teen mom whos still having many difficulties. Praise God for six foster kids baptized and several others showing transformed lives. Praise God for more former foster kids coming back to volunteer. Roberto, our very first foster kid, also got married this year. Praise God for everything else He's done in rescuing our current twenty-four foster kids and starting restoration in many of their families. And pray for six kids the family court is already waiting to send us when house #3 opens. Again, thanks so much for your prayers and support, and have a most meaningful Christmas!
