We understand that it can be scary to walk into an unfamiliar place, in particular if you are not used to churches. We would love to make you feel as comfortable as possible, so we have outlined some essential information about what you can expect for your first time at Saint Peter Lutheran Church, Afton, MN. Please do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions, or if there is anything Saint Peter Lutheran Church Afton, MN can do for you.
Come as you are! We do not have a dress code for worship, so wear whatever makes you feel comfortable to worship!
You should never feel obligated to put something in the offering plate; your attendance is already an offering of Praise and Worship to God. If your heart leads you to give an offering you are welcome to participate. Through these offerings and tithes, Saint Peter is able to provide ministry and outreach locally, and support our Church's vital mission work in the world.
"What if they make me stand up and say something?" Rest assured, we won't embarrass you in any way. Our church wants you to be as comfortable as possible. Worship should always be an enjoyable and uplifting experience. We will do all we can so that you can learn about our Savior Jesus Christ.
"I just know my child will be noisy and will bother everyone." We welcome all children to attend our worship services, and quite activity bags are provided in the narthex for use during the service. However, if you do feel uncomfortable with your child's noise level, feel free to use our nursery room located off of the coat hanging area.
"I don't know that much about the Bible." Worship services and Bible study are opportunities to grow in the knowledge of the Bible and faith in Jesus. You will not have to answer any questions you don't feel comfortable answering, or have any prior knowledge of the Bible or worship services. Remember, as Christians we do not always have all the answers, and sometimes the best response to a question can be "I don't know." If you would like to be seated next to someone who can help guide you through the service, please let one of our ushers know.
