We welcome all who are worshipping with us this holy Lenten 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.

General Parish Meeting on NCD UPDATE: AT our meeting on Sunday March 27, after soup and chilli, discussion on the NCD survey results ensued. It was generally agreed that the survey reflected our Parish’s reality – warts and all! Our (greatest) weaknesses lie in the area of personal spirituality and evangelism (broadly understood). Good discussion centered around what forms evangelism would/should take for traditional Anglicans. Three specific initiatives were proposed by those gathered to help address our situation. I. A Christian study group, open to the entire surrounding community, focusing on Jesus’ teaching in the Parables will be offered next fall in the parish hall. II. An ad hoc group of parishioners interested in friendly visits to fellow parishioners (elderly and shut-in) will be formed and given some structure and focus under Fr Hebb’s auspices. III. Sunday School time and structure will be altered in September to reflect a new era. Parents and children will be encouraged to attend worship at 11 a.m. with children and teachers exiting before the sermon for Sunday School in the Parish hall. After the 11 a.m. service parents will proceed to the hall shortly after noon to pick-up their children.

Adult Saint Michael’s Conference hosted by St Peter’s (here) Friday and Saturday April 8 & 9, 2011- See pamphlet at the rear of St Peter’s. Events will commence with EP at 5 p.m. A full supper meal, breakfast and a light lunch will be provided. Outside volunteers are doing the breakfast and aiding with the lunchtime sandwiches [Hebb & Alliston are making soup and chilli). Help is needed in serving lunch – Hebb does the last morning talk. I ask that the parish look after the supper meal 15-20 people tops. Those attending from outside the Parish will be charged a representative fee of $25.00 for meals. Fr Hebb is the Registrar for the event. It is also desirable for Billets to be offered. Please think about billeting someone – and speak to Fr Hebb! For an excellent website devoted to the Conference may I recommend: http://www3.nb.sympatico.ca/hal9000/Conference/Introduction.html

Needed: In the Fall, that is September, a Sunday School teacher for our second class – please speak to Kim Greechan for details.

Really badly needed: Altar Guild volunteer for the month of May – Someone needs to do the between service altar guild work that Fr Hebb usually does – he won’t be here to do it.

Vestry Meeting NEWS: Vestry of Feb 13 appointed Willard Fram as Parish treasurer and Brenda Smith as Vestry Clerk. Both persons have previously served faithfully for years in these positions. Vestry welcomed two new members; Ria Neish and Anne Klinck. After a time of sharing relating to each person’s connection to St Peter’s the treasurer presented his report. The report was sobering. Expenses exceeded income by roughly $2,000.00 in January. The treasurer had to “borrow’ funds from the memorial account – funds which must be replaced. Specific plans for Natural Church Development (NCD) survey Sunday were finalized. Prolonged discussion of the condition, status and future of the Rectory building came next. Potential repairs, the difficulty in renting and finding appropriate tenants and the long-term usefulness of having a rectory were all discussed. It was decided to reaffirm our “no-pets” policy and to limit occupancy to five persons maximum. {A lease was signed on Tuesday Feb 15th} It was also decided to hire a carpentry firm (King Construction) to do a professional assessment of the state of the building in March. To pay for this, special envelopes are available at the rear of the church to raise the estimated $500.00 this will cost. It was further decided to have our annual Shrove Tuesday Supper on March 8 – Mary, Frankie and Brenda are to be the organizing committee. Ria Neish gave an overview of her upcoming Lenten “Lectio” talks scheduled for Lent’s Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m. Fr Hebb stressed the uniqueness of Ria’s talks as well as the opportunity presented by the Adult St Michael’s Conference to be held at St Peter’s April 8 and 9th.
