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!

Oct 17 ACW Deanery annual meeting Stanley: Dr Hebb gives presentation in afternoon

Please note: 175th Anniversary Banquet Tickets were distributed on Sunday Sept 29th.

The last preparation meeting for this event will be held Monday Oct 21 at 7 p.m. in the Parish hall.

A Container to help defray initial Banquet costs is set up at the rear - make a contribution if you can!

Contributions towards a Silent Auction to be held at the 175th Banquet are solicited: contact Bob Matthews at 470-3071

Why not check out our fine Memorial Garden at the rear of the church - Wilfred A's work has made it a welcome addition to our cemetery!

Canadian hero,  Captain Charles Rainsford and his brother Lawrence Bradshaw Rainsford have both been honoured with special gravesite plaques from Ontario as part of the War of 1812-14 commemorations - an event (which must be advertized, is a requirement of receiving said plaques)

Event planning has now reached high gear and is scheduled for  Oct 15, 11 a.m. Fr Hebb asks that the parish provide light refreshments for this event!

            Due to all the events scheduled for the autumn combined with illness and folks being away at the time, Vestry has decided NOT to proceed with our annual Autumn Turkey Supper!!! This decision applies to this year ONLY. In lieu of the supper an empty basket will appear at the rear for donations towards our Invisible Turkey Event. Proceeds from this un-Turkey effort can be placed in marked envelopes and if donors include their names and envelope #, they can receive income tax credit for their contributions.

Farraline Place: Items are needed for their Gala set for Oct 25:4-8 p.m. to raise funds for a new roof and to offset flood damage from 2008. Items needed for Silent auction, craft table and white elephant - please clearly label item (including value) and  bring to bin in Church or call Betty A. at 452-7037

 

TODAY is Thanksgiving Sunday and thus No Sunday School:. Due to a critical teacher shortage, one (1) children's class can be offered and Fr Hebb has now begun a 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.
