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!

We welcome Rev Wilfred Langmaid back to our parish and look forward to his participation in our 175 Anniversary banquet on October 26th!

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.

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.
