SOUPer Bowl Food Drive & Chicken Dinners

Social Ministry Team & Youth • January 20, 2025

What does football, chicken, and your pantry all have to do with one another? 

It means it’s January at St. Peter’s! Support our Youth heading to the National Youth Gathering this summer through our annual Chicken Dinner Ticket sales that started this past weekend and the Social Ministry Team will be setting up for another Souper Bowl Food Drive. 


Super Bowl LIX, (59), is scheduled for Sunday, February 9, 2025, with a kick-off time of 6:30 PM in New Orleans, LA. Once again, this collection will be given to the Associated Churches of Fort Wayne Food Bank, to aid them in feeding those living in and around the Fort Wayne area.


Last year we introduced our extra-large, “Campbell’s” soup can, as a receptacle for those who may have forgotten to bring a food donation, to instead, participate with a cash donation. This large donation can will again be placed on one of the tables located in the west hallway for the food collection.


We ask that you donate only non-perishable food items and, please, make sure that none of them have exceeded their expiration dates. Food/cash will be collected at church services on Saturday, February 8, 2025 and both services on Sunday, February 9, 2025. 


So get your Chicken Dinner tickets NOW and bring your cans in LATER on Sunday, February 9th. Thank you for your continued support of this very worthwhile cause, may God richly bless you and our efforts.

News & Notes

Pastor McDowell Deliberates a Divine Call

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
