Mid-Lent, Refreshment and Mothering Sunday, March 18th

Services this Week: Anglican Parish of St Peter, Fredericton.

March 20 Parish Bible Study in Parish Hall 3:30 p.m.
March 20 Contemplative Prayer session in Church: Leader Ria Neish 7 p.m.
March 21 midweek Holy Communion St Benedict 7 p.m.
March 25 Fifth Sunday in Lent Passion Sunday Holy Communion 8 a.m.

Today is Mothering Sunday and our Special Lenten Lessons & Meditations service at 11 a.m.

We welcome all who are visiting us for worship this Lent. 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.

Fr Hebb has returned from his latest (Feb 27th) post-eye surgery check-up in Halifax and continues to recover. He wishes to express his appreciation and thanks for prayers offered for his recovery and today’s bulletin is a ‘thank-offering’ in that regard. Fr Hebb wishes to thank the lay members of the congregation who stepped forward to cover various aspects of parish life during his absence and recovery.

Fr Hebb has produced the new sidesmen, servers and readers schedules. It is available at the rear as well as posted on the Parish website!
