We welcome all who are worshipping with us in this holy 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.

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.

Did you KNOW? As everyone has been made well aware this is the anniversary of the 1812-1814 War (against the American aggressors). This was the war of the famous winter  march of New Brunswick’s 104^th Regiment of Foot from Fredericton to Kingston, (Upper Canada) The Regiment became storm stayed at Lake Temiscouta in Quebec Colony and ran very low on supplies. Lieutenant Charles Rainsford and two volunteers snowshoed 145 kms in 48 hours and returned with a rescue party carrying food to the 200 starving soldiers! Captain Rainsford, [Canadian hero] the savior of the 104^th was a member of St Peter’s and is buried in our cemetery! [source: www.stjohnriver.org]
