Today is our special annual Lenten Lessons and

us in these devotions this day!
Missionary
Canon Paul Jeffries visit was a success last week. Also our “spiritual
partnership” Parish of St Mary’s, Devon officially joined us for the potluck
and presentation.
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.
Positive News: On Monday Feb 11, 2013 St Peter’s

New offering envelopes
are at the rear – if your name is not on a box then please claim a new box and
sign your name on the sheet on the wall provided for that purpose. Let’s all do
our bit financially and together keep the doors of St Peter’s open for our
upcoming 175th year
Note: On Friday Jan 25th at 7 p.m. a meeting was held between members of St Mary’s, Devon vestry and members of St. Peter’s vestry to discuss and investigate the
possibilities inherent in
our Parishes’ proposed “spiritual partnership” relationship. Fr Hebb chaired
the meeting.
Celebrating 175 Years: Last week Vestry brainstormed
our anniversary year potential. Items being pursued include an educational
event in late April/early May, a catered Parish Banquet in the autumn as well
as a special anniversary service late in the fall. Stay tuned for further
updates!
Note: food bank grocery supplies are very low. Fr
Hebb has had to dip into his discretionary fund to buy groceries for a family
of five the other week and an individual the previous week - total $138.00 thus
far! We need to be more vigilant in bringing grocery donations to church in
order to cover these situations!

still available as a memorials. Please speak with Fr Hebb about bulletins for
they are on a first come, first to get basis: $20.00 - and place donation in a
clearly marked envelope for the Parish Treasurer.
