A warm thank you to all who worked and all who supported our annual Shrove Tuesday supper. Well done! We had 173 paying customers, lots of helpers, both Parishioners and from First Springhill Group. The ACW effort was also a success and they thank folks for aid received as well !



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.

Vestry Meeting NEWS: [ abridged version] 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. 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

New service schedule, servers’ schedule, readers’ rota and sidemen’s schedules are all posted on the Parish Website AND have been mailed out with the Lenten Parish Broadside Newsletter!

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

The Results are in! We have received the NCD survey results – the document is at the rear for pick-up and careful reading. [Care must be taken in understanding all the grafts – eg., survey questions framed negatively are presented as positives on the graphs.] Parish meeting of all concerned and interested individuals is today Sunday March 27 at 12:30 in the Parish Hall. Soup and chilli will be provided to all comers! Come talk about the results and brain-storm of how to move forward and improve! This is your Parish which needs your ideas and your help!

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