We welcome all who are worshipping with us during 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.

Church exterior tours available after 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. services June 28 and July 5. The purpose of these walk-abouts is to inspect the building and allow each worshipper to see for themselves the need of the repairs which have to be performed. These repairs will come at a cost! (hint, hint)
A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Breaking Vestry News:
On Sunday June 21 (Father’s Day) your vestry met to consider Parish business. Although some progress has been noted with certain individuals embracing the vestry’s 10% challenge, the Parish still faces fiscal challenges. Vestry wishes to point out that last winter’s church fuel bill stands at $2,937.21 and last winter’s snow removal bill remains at $2,779.80 as of the end of May 2009.
