Support for the Curnutts: Thank you for keeping James, Krystina, Keirstyn and Brody Curnutt in your prayers this week and for the outpouring of financial help after their loss of their home due to a fire last week. We have had many donations and a very generous chapel offering collection this week. Thank you for your support. Devotion of the Week: There are many tragedies that happen in the world around us. All we have to do is read the paragraph above to see how a fire can destroy a family's home. We also get to see the support and generosity of people in times of need, especially in our St. Peter family. Many of you have given monetary contributions, offered help, and have kept the Curnutt family in your prayers. We did get one "anonymous" donation which came from one of our younger students who did not want to be known (we found out through his grandmother). He had a been saving up his money and then found out about the house fire. He decided to give $100 to support the family! What a wonderful, thoughtful, and extremely generous gift from this child. He gave from his heart out of care and concern for this family. We thank God for His grace and mercy that He showers us with daily. He gave us the ultimate gift, the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son Jesus. With our focus on our Savior, may God continue to give us the ability to share our gifts with those in need. Fourth Quarter Chapel Offerings: Our chapel offerings for April and May will go to support Hope Seeds. Hope Seeds is a Christian, charitable organization which provides seeds and agriculture support to missionaries and mission teams around the World. The seeds are tested and evaluated before they are placed in the inventory to be sent to various locations. The best seeds are sent so the best results are possible. The outcome is more food for the people that receive the seeds. The Motto of Hope Seeds is "Plant a Seed! Feed a Soul!" Mission Trip to Alaska: In July, one of our 8th graders Sydney Emmendorfer, will be leaving for The Alaska VBS Mission Trip. There is table set up in the school and church with the information about Alaska. Sydney is collecting snacks such as chewy granola bars, fruit snacks and powdered drink canisters with expiration dates of after July Thank you for your donations. Thank You: "I would like to thank the St. Peter Men's Club, Ladies Aid, Mary Martha, Bible Class, Sunday School students and staff and those whom donated individually for their contributions to help me attend the Alaska VBS Mission Trip this summer. Thank you for your generous support as we will work to make sure that every person in the Village of Goodnews Bay, Alaska has the opportunity to know the Good News of Jesus." -Sydney Emmendorfer Quote of the Week

To test out their knowledge of each, they were tasked with creating a Rube Goldberg machine! They made homemade levers, pulleys, and other simple machine parts. Their ideas were fantastic and most of the machines worked pretty well! Awesome job, 5th and 6th graders! Thank you also to Miss Hecht, our student teacher, for organizing this exciting project.
