We welcome Jack Bryant Gordon into the Family of Christ’s Church this day. We pray that the rest of his life may be as blessed as this special day of his rebirth.

We welcome all who are visiting us for worship on this third Sunday of the Advent season. You will notice that 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: Ongoing discussion included the subject of rectory maintenance costs versus income generated by rentals and it was determined that a comparison of same for the past ten years would be a good study document. At this meeting we also learned that, as a Parish, we have been unable to make any payments into the diocese yet this year – we owe roughly $13,500.00.
