Father Perry and Lynn Hassouna are extending an invitation to St. Peter’s parishioners to come to an Open House at the Rectory today, January 3rd, from 2-4 p.m. All are welcome!

From the Treasurer:
A Finance Committee Meeting is scheduled for Monday January 4th at 7 p.m. in Phelps Hall to plan the budget for 2016. Any interested member of the Parish is welcome to attend.

  • The Year-End Statements have been mailed out. If you have any questions please call the office.
  • Our pledge to the Diocese for the year 2015 has been paid in full.

If you have not fulfilled your pledge for 2015, please bring your payments up-to-date. Thanks.

Calling All Youth!  Judi Babin and Lynn Hassouna have begun a new series of discussions for youth to be held on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. in Father Perry’s office. Any young person in grades 7 through 12 is welcome to join them. These discussions will continue to be held on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. More events are being planned including a Confirmation Class starting in January.

Confirmation Classes to begin in January! Father Perry will be scheduling Confirmation classes for any interested youth or adults beginning in early January. This provides a wonderful opportunity for anyone wishing to join the Episcopal Church, any youth (9th grade or older) wanting to become adult members of the congregation or anyone interested in engaging in conversation about the meaning of our Episcopal traditions or how our faith enriches our lives. Please contact the parish office or speak to Father Perry if you have questions or are interested in “signing up!”
