Christmas Worship Services

Ministry Team • December 16, 2024

Worship at St. Peter's to celebrate the coming of our Lord together.

These are all excellent services to invite family members, neighbors, or that co-worker you've been talking to recently about your faith. Why are we Christian? They might be ready to hear what this is really all about, and it's not Santa.


Have you heard of our Blue Christmas service, but not quite sure what it's about?  As Christians, we know Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, and yes, there is plenty of reason to celebrate the birth of our Savior. However, hidden emotions like being alone, feeling overwhelmed, crushing sadness, grief, and loss require extra energy to hide during an already exhausting season. During our Blue Christmas service, we create a space at the foot of the cross where we can feel these very real emotions together and know that 'happiness' is not the same as hope.


Indeed, the hope for us is not in ourselves, but in Jesus Christ who has forgiven and redeemed us in spite of how we feel. The lighting will be low, tissues will be in every pew, and no matter the reason why you are there, you won't need to pretend for anyone else. Join us this Tuesday at 7 pm in our sanctuary as we experience some of these feelings together and recognize that in the body of Christ, we are never alone.

News & Notes

By Pastor Adam McDowell February 18, 2025
St. Peter’s, God bless your Tuesday and all that you do. I have received a Divine Call from Faith Lutheran Church, Grand Blanc, Michigan. They are calling me as Senior Pastor working with their ministry team. For clarity, I was not looking for a new position nor actively putting my name out on Call lists. It is my position to listen to these inquiries to understand the will of the Spirit. As Lyndi and I deliberate this Call, we ask for your prayers. Please, pray for guidance, wisdom, and that the Lord would clearly make known His will. Continue to keep our church in your prayers especially for her continued ministry, the filling of our Senior Pastor vacancy, and the work of our Call Team. Please, also pray for Faith Lutheran Church, Grand Blanc, and her ministry, as we are called to pray for the entire ministry of God (Ephesians 6:18). Lyndi and I, along with our children, will pray for discernment with God’s grace and for the two ministries as well. May the Lord give guidance to us all, Pastor McDowell
