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.
Feb 16th will be Baden-Powell Sunday again this year
at St Peter's. That day will also feature a
special guest speaker at the 11 a.m. service - Matt Eagar explaining the work of (and his
commitment to) "Mission Aviation Fellowship." Please plan to attend.
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
