Kids and adults get a special treat on the first Sunday of their birthday month. Pick up a "It's my birthday month" badge and get a birthday cake flavored Hershey's Kiss.
We're asking folks to wear the badges out to restaurants, when shopping and as you go around town. It's an easy way to let people know about San Pedro, and a fun reminder to celebrate God's blessing through your life. You deserve a special treat, come worship and enjoy the San Pedro way to recognize your birthday.
P.s. Keep the badge and wear it for the month of your birthday, then bring it back to the name tag center so other folks can share it, too.
San Pedro PC has some exciting news for our youth program this fall (2023) and spring (2024) semesters! Students in 8th grade and older are invited to take part in confirmation this school year. Confirmation is a time for our youth to seriously consider their faith through diligent Bible study, special classes, and service work, then decide if they are ready to make their faith statement to commit their lives to Christ.
NOTE: Registration for confirmation is due by September 10th, with classes starting the following Sunday the 17thwhich will replace our usual youth group meeting. This will allow younger students to experience what the program will be like for them in the future.. Classes will take place immediately after the 10:30 worship service (12:00 to 2:00 pm). Lunch will be provided. Students who are not yet eligible to be confirmands will will have a break out session just for them with Pastor Bryan and other leaders.
We understand some eligible students may not feel prepared for the confirmation program. However, we strongly encourage parents to carefully consider registering their student(s), as it will not be offered every year.
The program for Confirmation classes will run from September 24th to March 31st with a total of 22 classes. There will be no classes on Sundays after Thanksgiving or during the month of December. To successfully complete the program, each student must attend a minimum of 16 classes. Make-up dates will be provided for those in need of scheduling flexibility.

Nico Carrillo has worked with local teenagers in the San Antonio area by way of a local church, and he has his own ministry he created with other folks passionate about leading folks to Christ.
From Nico:
"I was born in San Antonio and grew up in the Floresville area. I pursued degrees in various fields (including culinary arts, and physical therapy) before I followed God's call into the ministry. Following this calling led me to obtain an associate's degree in music from San Antonio College and a bachelor's degree in worship studies from Liberty University.
It was in my pursuit of God that I felt there was more that I could do to glorify Him in the way that I live my life. My siblings and I partnered in a small business, Overflow, where we strive to live intentionally for God's glory through creative worship. This mission includes screen printing Scripture-inspired apparel with eco-friendly practices while sourcing our garments from fair trade and sustainable sources, and then giving back to impoverished communities and environmental efforts.
Some fun facts: I am a tennis player, I enjoy musical theater, and I am a songwriter. I feel blessed and honored to be a part of the San Pedro PC family."
Nico has been serving San Pedro as a full-time staff member for the past two years on our main programming team, focusing primarily on ministries to junior high and senior high students. He also helped launch our contemporary worship service.
