e-Bulletin for Christmas I (December 31)

Services This Week:
January 3 midweek postponed until January 6
January 6 The Feast of The Epiphany: Holy Communion 11 a.m.
Sunday January 7: Holy Communion 8:00 and 11:00 a.m. Also at 11 a.m. the Cathedral Puppeteers will make a presentation. Following the service we will have the official Launch of the New Parish Web-site with reception at the parish Hall. All are welcome!

We welcome all who are worshipping with us at this Holy Season. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial. Please pray for us as we seek to be faithful to the high calling of God's love as shown in the manger!

Announcements:
Parish Outreach Christmas 2006: On behalf of the Parish, your Vestry has decided to make the following Christmas Outreach Contributions: $100.00 to Transition House, $150.00 to the Emergency Shelter and $150.00 to the Community Kitchen.

Home Communions : If anyone is ill or infirm and consequently cannot get out to Church, Rev Hebb will take Holy Communion to them. Please speak with him or call 450-9687 to make arrangements that are mutually agreeable.

Is there someone who should be prayed for? Prayers can be either public (in Church) or private - in homes and the Rector's personal devotions.
