We welcome the Cathedral Puppeteers at our 11 a.m. service. It is a pleasure to have them return. The Scripture Texts for their presentation entitled "Sharing God’s Love" are: I John 4:7-21(eg see Christmas Day Evening Prayer lesson/ Book of Common Prayer p. xix) & Matthew 28:16-20 - the Christian Church’s ‘Mission’ Statement! (eg see Baptism Service prayer at top of page 528.)

Also, we remind one and all that, following service, all are invited to the Hall for the official launching of the Parish WEB-SITE with presentation by web-master Prof. Will Hyslop and a light reception.

We welcome all who are worshipping with us at this Holy Season of Epiphany. 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!
