You are invited to join us for our 125th Anniversary Celebration on May 4! We will begin with a special worship service at 10am, followed by a potluck lunch where we can enjoy a meal and fellowship together. As part of our celebration, we will have mementos from throughout our history on display, offering a look into the rich legacy of our church. In addition, we are collecting items to give back to the community (as listed in the announcement below). This is a time to celebrate not only our past but also our ongoing mission of community and generosity. Everyone is invited—whether you’ve been a member of St. Peter for years, are new to our church, or have never set foot in the door! We look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with you!
Giving Back to Our Community
As we celebrate 125 years in the Lake Zurich community, we want to give back! We are collecting donations to help those in need, and you can be a part of it. You can contribute by donating school supplies for Joanie’s Closet, non-perishable items for the St. Francis Food Pantry, or a cash donation, which we will use to support one of these two causes. See the lists below for more information. We will collect items through our Anniversary event on May 4. Thank you for your generosity and for being part of a community that cares!
