Service Descriptions
    At St. Peter's, the variety of services offers you
    choices according to your preferences and
    your schedule as well as varying opportunities
    to take an active part.

    Because Jesus was sacrificed for everyone, it
    is the practice at St. Peter's that all who wish
    to do so may come forward during
    Communion.  Those who do not want to
    receive the bread or the wine, or both, may
    cross their arms over their chest and receive a
    blessing from the celebrant.

    Holy Eucharist Rite 1.  This is the Eucharist
    service as it appeared in the 1928 version of the
    Book of Common Prayer.  It is spoken; there is no
    music.

    Holy Eucharist Rite 2.
    The Rite 2 service is from a more recent version of
    the Book of Common Prayer and uses more
    contemporary language.
    Coffee hour follows in the Parish Hall (adjacent to
    the church) and is considered to be a continuation
    of the service, in the form of fellowship.

    The Sunday morning Sunday School program
    offers children introductions to Christian concepts
    and bible study, tailored to their age.

    Morning Prayer
    Morning Prayer once was the chief Sunday service
    in most Anglican churches on three out of four
    Sundays, the First Sunday usually being a
    celebration of Holy Communion. This practice has
    not continued because the eucharist has been
    recognized as the "principal act of Christian
    worship on the Lord's Day" in most parishes (see
    BCP, p. 13), However, Morning Prayer is clearly
    designated as a daily service for the worship of
    the church. This usage reflects the ancient
    tradition of the Daily Office.
