We welcome all who are worshipping with us in this Trinity
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.
The ACW would also like to mention the $136.00
raised in their ‘no-bake’ sale and thank the congregation for their support of
ACW work at home and abroad!

Slow and steady – at our last Vestry ( May 27th) meeting
a discussion developed concerning envelope giving versus e-offering. It was
observed that e-offering, 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. This approach also further assumes that folks actually play
catch-up for missed Sundays and sadly this is often NOT the case. The reality e-offering
also addresses is - the bills continue to
come in even if you are not here!
The NCD

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 104th 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 104th was a member
