As September has arrived 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 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 will be made available to give to each person invited - stay tuned and PRAY for this vestry embraced outreach initiative!

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.
