We welcome all who are visiting us for worship on this Holy
Epiphany season. 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.
A
container for donations to the Rector's
Discretionary Fund has now appeared at the rear - please consider
supporting this ever increasing need. As well as requests for groceries, Fr
Hebb also fields requests for rent -top-up funds, help with heating bills and
gasoline money - sometimes to enable visits family members in distant
hospitals.
Financial news: If you or anyone you love participates in the life of our Parish please
give a thought to its ongoing life, ministry and presence by supporting St
Peter's with a meaningful financial engagement in 2014. FYI: The Diocese has
recalculated the sum our Parish is asked to contribute to the greater Church
each year - St Peter's amount will be
rising from 13,860.00 to 16,419.00. Last year we were able to pay just
$9,500.00
A NEW wintertime initiative:
This week is the Valentine “Coffee Party” Bridge at Shannex The event will be
held on Thursday, Feb 13, 2014 at 9:00 am and play will commence at 9:45 am. For
further details please speak to Frankie, A., Mary C. or Audrey K.
World Day of Prayer Bible Study: 10am
Mon. Feb.17, 2014 Brunswick St. Baptist Church, all parish ladies
welcomed, 3rd floor, new section , take elevator from the 1st
floor. This year the Women of Egypt wrote ecumenical service
for World Day of Prayer entitled " Streams in the Desert". Mary
McMulkin has been to Egypt and offers great insight about her trip there with
pictures and artifacts. This year World
Day of Prayer Service: Fri. Mar.7, 2014 at Holy Family Church, Hanwell.
Unexpected situation: On the evening of Feb 2 sewage backed-up into both the rectory
and the parish hall - this phase of the event was caught early and cleaned up.
Sadly, fixing the origin of the problem was much more involved and stretched
over all Monday and half of Tuesday. It involved pump trucks, an electrician, a
plumber (2 days) and a steam truck and a front end loader from the city. The
sewage from both buildings empties into a catch-basin (under the man-hole
cover) behind the hall and is then
pumped out to the city line under
the trail. Unfortunately, the line goes all the way beyond the cemetery before
it joins the city sewage system and it was the end of line that was frozen. It
caused our lift pump to pump until
it broke off and burnt out -including
the electrical connections. It took all day Monday to determine that this was
the origin of the problem. Needless to say bills will be coming. Our insurance
company has been contacted and we are in discussions but it is highly unlikely
that insurance will cover all costs.
