Blessings to all! Our St. Peter Mission Team will be heading to Middletown, South Africa, in July 2025. We will be hosting a clinic to fit eyeglasses for those who would not otherwise have access to them.

Several different types of hams, kielbasas, and other tasty items will be available. The sale will start Saturday, November 23, through Sunday, December 8, in the Crossroads between services, with distribution planned for the weekend of December 20.
If you have questions, please contact Darla Bratkowski – email: lighthousemich@gmail.com.
Thank you for all your past and future support. It is truly a blessing to be able to serve others in God’s name and we couldn’t do it without you. Amen!
