October is clergy appreciation month and the 14th is Pastor Steve’s birthday. Here’s two great opportunities to show your love to PS.
Every year Pastor Steve makes a birthday wish for the congregation. Instead of gifts he encourages a donation toward a new project at All Peoples. It tends to be focused on a "want" not a "need." In years past this has included a new set of pew Bibles and the multicultural icons around the altar.
This year PS has set of goal of raising $4,500 for a new mural in the sanctuary. While the current mural is an iconic symbol of the congregation, it is also a canvas that can breathe new life into the worship space.
Once the funds are raised, a call for proposals will go out to the artistic community of Milwaukee. The mural will have a commission of $4,000. Proposals will go before the congregation for a vote. The remaining $500 will be awarded to the 2nd and 3rd place submissions in recognition of their efforts.
Help celebrate Pastor Steve's birthday with a donation toward this campaign!

We are also thrilled to see that Pastor Steve is a finalist for activist of the year in "Shepherd Express Best Of Milwaukee 2013. " This is a reflection of the community-based ministries of All Peoples Church. These ministries would not be possible without broad synod support and the partnerships we share within and beyond the Lutheran Church. Thank you. We encourage you to login and cast your vote!
