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 Oct. 24 Vestry found representatives to attend the Natural Church Development (NCD) conference on Nov 6 at CCPC. Our representatives were vestryman, Wilfred Alliston and synod delegate ,Sandra Gereau. 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) which continue to accumulate on a monthly basis. This figure helps pay the salaries of the Bishop and all the diocesan staff for, please remember, the diocese has no significant income source other than what is collected from the parishes! The total owed by St Peter’s to the diocese by year’s end will be around 14 thousand dollars.
