We welcome all who are worshipping with us this day. 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.

Vestry News: At Vestry on Sunday Sept. 26 we received the good news that donations thus far to the Restoration Project total $38,268.00 – with some pledges yet to be finalized. It was decided to invite Archbishop Miller for a service of Celebration and Thanksgiving for this positive result. A Parish Evensong and Episcopal visit is scheduled for Thursday Nov 4, 7 p.m. – please keep this date free! Also it was suggested that the Sunday School, this autumn, accept the challenge of adopting the “Corn Grinder” Project for the companion diocese of Ho. Ruth B also agreed to be SS treasurer – we had been without a treasurer since last November. Vestry has yet to find attendees for the Greater Chapter meeting to be held Oct 7 and representatives for the Natural Church Development (NCD) conference on Nov 6 at CCPC. NCD is the program chosen by vestry at its May meeting as the most suitable means whereby to conduct a Parish self-assessment. This assessment would identify strengths and weaknesses and suggest methods of improvement. On a much more sobering front, the Parish has outstanding commitments to the diocese (formerly called assessments and apportionments) in the vicinity of $9,240.00. This figure is the amount accumulated thus far in this fiscal year. The total will be around 14 thousand dollars.

A Farewell for the Nutters; a special service for Archbishop Harold and Edith (hopefully) will be held at the Cathedral at 12 noon Oct., 30 with a reception following in the Memorial Hall. Sadly, the Nutters are moving to Ontario.
