Services this Week : Parish of St Peter, Fredericton, N. B.

Sept. 7 Trinity XVI Holy Communion 8 & 11 a.m.
***********************************************************
As September approaches please remember our Sunday School in your prayers. Two teachers have resigned after years of faithful service, one new teacher has stepped forward but another (for the oldest class) is required. Parents and children have been absent most of the summer and we pray that they will return to parish life come September.

The Parish’s last Vestry Meeting determined that the Congregation should be asked afresh to consider switching to e-offering. The reason for this appeal is absences due to the seasonal summer downturn in attendance coupled with the obvious effect of vacations. E-offering makes weekly or monthly giving automatic and not a function of attendance or remembrance to fully ‘catch-up’. Please do give the matter serious thought! Forms can be found at the rear!

We welcome all who are worshipping with us on this Trinity 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.
