We welcome all who are worshipping with us on this most Holy Day of Easter - Christ is Risen, Christ is Risen Indeed! 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.


We welcome Ty Lorrie Dale (Yerxa) to God’s adopted Family this day. We pray that he and his will continue to be blessed by our Heavenly Father and enfolded in the Risen Life of our common Savior. Word Scramble: - aaesgdnb - see readings on reverse. Last week’s answer: torches John 18:3

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.

Needed: In the Fall, that is September, a Sunday School teacher for our second class – please speak to Kim Greechan for details. Youngest Sunday School class is looking for a small book case for storage space in their room – if anyone have one to donate; speak with Karen D., Ruth B, Lori D or Kim O.

Thank you to our organist, choir, Sunday School teachers and students, altar guild, sexton, servers, cleaners, readers and the flower lady for their work this past week. Much has to be done by many people to make for a smooth running Holy Week. Thanks from the Rector!
