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.
Submission of reports for
Annual General meeting: If you are responsible for the submission of a
report for the annual meeting please do so (in typed or electronic format)
no later than Thursday January 16th at 9 a.m. Fr Hebb needs time to copy and collate said
reports.
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 176th
year
2
sun-catchers remain available on a first
come first served basis - at rear of church $10.00 each
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 10, 350.00.
Clearly a challenge faces us.
Seven members of St Peter's joined the
good people of St. Mary’s (York) on
Sunday, January 5th, for their Festival of Lessons and Carols for
Christmas on the 12th Night of Christmas. Mulled cider was enjoyed
afterwards.
A special joint musical
service involving both St Peter's Choir and St Mary's choir is being planned for Candlemas (February 2)
stay tuned for details!
New sign-up sheets for
Altar Guild 2014 - (responsibilities can be taught new members) and Church
Cleaning 2014 are at the rear.
