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.

NCD Report and Brainstorming session: A small but
determined crowd met on Sunday Sept 16 to
receive our Parish’s NCD survey results and to make future plans. We
learnt that our strengths have grown
stronger and our weaknesses have become less weak - that is, we have improved. Most changes
initiated after the first survey have borne positive results. Personal and
passionate spirituality still require work as does a ‘sense’ that we pray for
one another regularly. One clear element that emerged – not originating with
the rector, is that we need to revisit the
idea of establishing a mechanism whereby folks visit one another
intentionally and ‘on behalf’ of the Parish community. Ideas on this subject will
be welcomed. Please speak with the minister or Wilfred or Sandra or Ria.
Missionary Canon Paul Jefferies is coming to St
Peter’s !! Sunday March 3, 2013
pre-book that day off and plan to attend worship, potluck and presentation in
the Parish Hall. Paul presents and inspires – he does not give a fund-raising
speech!
Needed: another part-time Sunday school teacher for
our Sunday School programme!
Church Calendars are available for sale at $6:00
each – please place funds in can!
This year’s Operation Christmas Child boxes are
available! Why not take a box and plan to fill it as a family activity? Boxes
are due back NO later than Nov 18th Darla MacNaughton is our Parish
contact and rep for this annual initiative.
Although Parish Bible Study at Shannex was a great
success there remains the problem that only a fraction of the attendance was
made up of people from St Peter’s. Low local attendance is also an issue at the
weekly Parables sessions – can you
help improve these statistics at least occasionally?
