We welcome all who are worshipping with us on this most holy Easter season - 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.

Messy Church is Christ centred and offers an opportunity for people to explore their faith, coming together in a fun and engaging worship and finally interacting as a community to share a meal. Our Deanery has had two successful Messy Church events in March and April. The next Messy Church will be Friday, May 18th in the Community Room at Willie O'Ree Place , 5-7 p.m. Theme: Love of Creation There is no charge and no registration required. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Spread the word, and of course, if you would like to volunteer and share in this ministry, contact Archdeacon Pat Drummond, or email through the website: http://www.headpond.ca/MessyChurch/

Slow and steady  – at our last Vestry meeting a discussion developed concerning envelope giving versus e-offering. It was observed that e-offering, no matter how modest, is a steady, known and dependable method of supporting the Parish whether one is present on a given Sunday or not and does not require remembering to fill out an envelope or perform ‘catch-up’ if one misses a Sunday.

Last week was NCD Survey Sunday. Results will be shared and a congregational planning meeting will then be scheduled. Stay tuned.
