We welcome all who are worshipping with us 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. We also pray that you might  find time in your busy life to return!

TODAY is Sunday School: The SS teachers and Fr Hebb have decided to return to the previous SS time of 10 a.m. to 11:15 for weekly SS classes. Sunday School will commence with a group worship and sing-a-long followed by class. Due to a critical teacher shortage, one (1) children's class can be offered and Fr Hebb will commence  Confirmation class for those 10 yrs old. The class will run weekly from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. with the expectation that the youth will normally join worship at 11 a.m. Confirmation classes will run til April and resume next Sept - in 2014. A confirmation date in late autumn 2014 will be sought from the Bishop.

Date Sat. Oct. 19th. We already  plan a very busy fall, if there is sufficient assistance a Turkey Supper will happen, if NOT, then it will NOT.  YOU MUST sign-up to indicate interest - you cannot say later - "oh, I intended to help like always!"
