Today at 11 a.m. we have our Annual Baden-Powell Sunday observance – a warm welcome to all Beavers, Cubs and Scouts – their parents and Leaders who are with us on this occasion!

We welcome all who are joining us for worship today. 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.
