MISSION POSSIBLE
MISSION POSSIBLE is a 5-week course designed within our Diocese with the full endorsement of Archbishop Johnson as a resource to help parishes to begin to think about: who God is; what is the mission of God; how does church need to be shaped to respond to God’s call to us to be missional. Join us Tuesdays in Lent: Feb 23, 30, Mar 2, 9, 16, 2 – 4pm, in the chapel to begin the conversation around what it means to be missional at St. Peter’s and beyond.

THE PICKLE IN MY SOUL
Canon Arthur Lawson's humorous and yet deeply spiritual sermons about his very own "grinch" have been collected in a small book entitled The Pickle in My Soul.

You can pick up a copy and leave the $20 in the office.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE
Calvary Baptist Church invites men and women to the ecumenical World Day of Prayer service at 7pm on Friday, March 5th. They encourage participation by all local churches and St. Peter's still requires three people to each read a short passage. The message for this year is from the Cameroons. If anyone has any "African" exhibits, would they be willing to 'show' them on March 5th.
‘UPON THIS ROCK’ DVD AVAILABLE
There’s an enjoyable way of helping pay down our mortgage while, at the same time, helping to promote St. Peter’s. This is possible through the DVD entitled: ‘Upon this Rock.’ The 30-minute DVD traces the development of St. Peter’s buildings over nearly 200 years. All proceeds from the sale of the DVD go towards paying down the mortgage. The DVDs are offered at alternative prices; a donor price of $30.00 for which a $20.00 tax receipt is issued, and at $15.00 per copy. Many former members of St. Peter’s will appreciate receiving the DVD as a memento.
The CDs are available at the church office.
DVDs OF THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
There are DVDs from the “The Best Christmas Present Ever” available, for those who have placed orders, after the 10:30 am service on Sunday or in the Church office. If you wish to order a DVD, they are $15. and orders can be taken by the Office staff.
