Thank you to everyone who attended the St. Peter’s Family Movie Outing last weekend, organized by our Sunday School and Youth Group.

We watched Daniel and the Fiery Furnace, and this story serves as a powerful reminder that while God may not always remove the flames from our lives, He promises to walk through them with us!!

We were blessed to share this meaningful time of with 30 attendees. Thank you for your fellowship! 🙏

God is good! 🙏 August 6–9, St. Peter’s Youth spent 4 blessed days at St. Iakovos Retreat Center (WI) - a weekend filled with growth, joy, and genuine encounters with God and eachother.

We are so thankful to our Spiritual Fathers & facilitators Thellapillil Achen, Anish Achen, Naveen Chemachen, and Sharon Chacko. Your wisdom, investment, and love poured through every message and conversation made a lasting impact.

Fr. Shiryl Mathai (Our Main Speaker) Thank you for bringing life to our theme "BUILT DIFFERENT" One Blueprint - Different Gifts! We are so grateful that we were able to spend 4 days with you and the family. You poured your whole heart into energized messages, real‑talk conversations, slip‑and‑slide kickball 😊, and every meaningful interaction. We were challenged to grow stronger in Christ, and we are so grateful for you!

Thank you to our volunteers and mentors who gave us the love we needed and was the backbone to the weekend. Thank you, parents, for trusting us with your kids for four days and investing in their spiritual well‑being.

St. Peter’s Church - thank you for believing in the importance of this time together and supporting the spiritual formation of the next generation of disciples, servants and leaders!

And to every youth who attended — YOUR presence mattered. You helped shape this conference, and we pray that every seed planted continues to grow!!

BUILT DIFFERENT

Love,
St. Peter’s Youth Leadership Team
