Worshiping from Home

Morning and Evening Prayer Videos: Please visit the St. Peter’s Church Facebook page for a daily Morning Prayer video with Mtr. Sue and a daily Evening Prayer video with Fr. Hartt. You can also access these videos on this home page by clicking on the video under the "St. Peter's Episcopal Church Facebook" section.

WEBCAST SERVICES: Every Sunday the Episcopal Diocese of Albany webcasts a Sunday Service of Holy Communion with Sermon. You can access this service and those going forward from the Diocese at https://albanyepiscopaldiocese.org/

Resources for Home Worship: The Episcopal Diocese wants to encourage you to worship from home while this health crisis unfolds and to do so they have complied a resource list for you. By no means does this list provide all available resources, but it does give you a number of options to guide you in your home worship. You may also reach out to your parish clergy for ideas and suggestions. These resources can be found on the Albany Diocese’s website at: https://albanyepiscopaldiocese.org/worship-resources-during-covid-19-pandemic/

Prayer Book and Bible at Home. Family Devotions are a great comfort. Our Tradition encourages the use of the Prayer Book and Bible in this way. The Service of Morning Prayer begins on page 41. You can also go online to hear a spoken Daily Office at:

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.

Sunday Service Videos

Every Sunday a filmed Sunday Service from inside St. Peter's Church with Fr. Hartt and Mtr. Sue will be available for your viewing. Each service will also contain music from the St. Peter's Choir. Every Sunday, St. Peter's parishioners will be emailed the YouTube video link for each service through a Constant Contact email from the church. Each video will also be published on the church website on Sunday morning for that day as well as on the St. Peter's Church Facebook page. The leaflet and readings for each Sunday are available on the church website as well.
