If you were unable to attend the 2019 WELS Choral Fest this past weekend at WLA, here are two YouTube videos of the Pops Concert on Friday night and the Sacred Concert on Sunday afternoon.

There’s something about home. Home is where you relax after a long day of work. Home is where you can let your hair down, because you know the people there will love you, even with your quirks and flaws. Home is where you feel most safe, in a world which is anything but.

Jesus intended for his church to be more than a school where we learn about God’s Word. He intended it to be more than a cathedral where we praise our Creator. Jesus intended for church to be a home, a place where we gather with Christian family and enjoy all the blessings of home.

On October 27th, we are celebrating Welcome Home Sunday. We will talk about the importance of having the support of a Christian community. One major goal for this Sunday? We want to have 100% of our members in attendance. Let’s pack the house! Let’s see what that looks like, when every member comes together. Please do everything possible to set that date aside so you can join your brothers and sisters in Christ. Service is at 9 am.

Also on this day of worship, we will have a special meal following the service at 10:15. Outdoor yard games for children and adults will be provided, weather permitting. During the meal, Pastor Jim Buske from Lighthouse Youth Centers in Milwaukee will give a presentation on the amazing services they are providing in the Milwaukee area.

On Sunday, we wrapped up another fun VBS program at St. Peter’s as a number of the children sang in our Sunday service. The children learned much about God’s plans, promises, and love for us as the whole week pointed to Jesus and what he did for us. We had 27 total students throughout the week.

The following YouTube links are the picture movie and each of the five songs the students sang. The music was recorded on Friday.

If you were unable to attend Pastor Odya’s wedding, a video recording of it is now available.
