Every Sunday we offer an 8:30AM and a 10:30AM service. The 8:30AM service is a Holy Communion Service. It is a "said service" with no music and takes place at the St. Mark's Altar. The 10:30AM service is a Holy Communion service on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month and a Morning Prayer service on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month. This Sunday, March 17th will be a Holy Communion Service. We hope you will join us for one of these services.

The full choir will be singing with this week's anthem: Sunday School will take place and Child Care will be available.

Coffee Hour will be held in the Pumpelly Room immediately following the 10:30AM service. All are welcome.

Announcements

Lent Early Morning Prayer on Zoom: Beginning Ash Wednesday and continuing through Good Friday, Mtr. Christina will lead Morning Prayer on Zoom at 6:30AM every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning during Lent. The service takes about 20 minutes. Coffee and pajamas are just fine. Bring your Prayer Book and Bible or just come to listen. All are welcome to prepare our hearts to encounter the Risen Lord on Easter Sunday. Zoom Meeting ID: 837 6018 1434. Password: 027098.

Easter Lily Requests: Parishioners and friends wishing to place lilies on the altar at Easter to honor, show thanks, or remember loved ones are asked to complete the 2024 Easter Lily Request Form that is included in your Sunday leaflet each Sunday during Lent. The form will also be included in the March Newsletter and it can be downloaded from the church website. On the home page of the website click on the “Info Center” tab and when it opens up click on “Special Event Forms” and then “2024 Easter Lily Request Form”. Please return to the church office with your donation no later than Palm Sunday, March 24th.

Choral Evensong during Lent: St. Peter's will offer the final Choral Evensong at 5:45PM this Friday March 22nd. Choral Evensong is the traditional sung version of Anglican Evening Prayer, sung in the English Cathedral tradition. The parish choir prepares a significant amount of choral music for these services, which provides for an especially beautiful and artistic form of worship. Following Evensong, everyone is invited to food and fellowship at a local restaurant that serves fish.

THE LAST SUPPER: This Sunday, March 17th during the 10:30AM service the Sunday School will reenact the Last Supper. This will include the story of Jesus and his disciples, washing of our feet and taking part in the Most Holy Bread and Wine (juice). All are welcome to take part in this wonderful activity.

EASTER EGG COLORING: On Sunday, March 24th the Sunday School children will be coloring Easter eggs during the 10:30AM service. Please allow them to dress in "old clothes" - but just in case, there will be a small number of smocks available. We hope all of the children will join in this fun event!

Welcome to St. Peter's

St. Peter's is an active church with a rich history. With a faithful membership, St. Peter's seeks to worship God, to support the spiritual growth of all parishioners, to reach out to the surrounding community, and to preserve our unique Christian heritage for the benefit of future generations.

St. Peter's has served as an active center of worship for over 300 years. A member of the Diocese of Albany, St. Peter's existed before the formation of the Episcopal Church after the American Revolution. The current St. Peter's Church is the third structure in the parish's history, the first having been built in 1715.

Much of the life of the church takes place in the Guild House adjacent to the church, which houses the church offices, the Sunday school classrooms, the nursery, the choir room, the archives, a large auditorium with full kitchen, the Pumpelly Room parlor for receptions, and upper floor apartments.
