Services this Week : Parish of St Peter, Fredericton, N. B.
**********************************************************
Oct. 15 Holy Communion mid-week 7 p.m.
Oct. 19 Trinity XXII B to C Sunday Holy Communion 8 & 11 a.m.
***********************************************************
Your Parish Vestry has decided to participate in a local Anglican initiative called Back to Church Sunday on 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 will be followed by a time of fellowship - coffee and snacks. 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.

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.

The Fredericton Food Bank would welcome: any garden vegetables, hand bar soaps, hair care items, shampoo, shaving cream, razors, toothpaste, feminine hygiene items.
