The Parish’s last Vestry Meeting decided to participate in a local Anglican initiative called Back to Church Sunday. The event is scheduled for Sunday October 19.th The idea being that each church going person at St Peter’s personally invite another individual who otherwise would NOT be going to worship anywhere that morning. The service would be followed by a time of fellowship - coffee and snacks. Part of the plan is that the person doing the inviting would sit with their guest and stay with them at the reception making conversation and introducing them to others. Actual invitation cards to give to each person invited are available at the rear TODAY- please pick up yours.

Helpful Hint # 1: Me, invite someone to church? How do I do that? Itʼ's simple: No questions, comments, criticisms regarding anyoneʼ's spiritual life are implied. Just hand them the invitation card to be provided and say something like, "Weʼ're having a Back-to-Church Sunday and wonder whether youʼ'd like to come as my guest." Just ask. Itʼ's that easy

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.
