Summer Spiritualty Series

St. Peter's hosts the Summer Spirituality Series from Memorial Day to Labor Day on Thursdays at 7 p.m. The series has proven to be a huge success, with standing room only on several occasions. Inspirational speakers present a diverse range of topics. Many attendees from the surrounding community enjoy free ice cream and fellowship after each presentation.

AUGUST 6 -Fr. Jeffrey Ross - Sermons


AUGUST 13 -Jack Dixon, Minnie Shorter, Tom Crowley (Sussex Help)
AUGUST 20 -St. Peter's Players
AUGUST 27 -Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Kaeton - Carbonated Holiness: A theology of laughter and humor.

Is laughter the best medicine? We know that Jesus wept, but did he laugh? Why, exactly, did Sarah

and Job laugh? Did God make the leviathan just "for the sport of it"? Is humor a form of participation in God's love for creation? Is laughter a form of resistance? Come and explore the importance of a sense of humor and laughter, especially in these challenging times. Warning: Jokes

will be told. Bring your own favorite for a short "open mic" session of Stand-up Silliness while we enjoy ice cream.

Summer Spirituality Series

This very popular series returns every summer with a great line up of presentations. Come join us Thursday evenings in the Parish Hall as we explore topics, different services, and our own spiritual practices. Each session starts at 7pm and ends with ice cream from King's Ice Cream. The series runs from the Thursday after Memorial Day until the Thursday before Labor Day every year.

Centering Prayer


Deepening Your Spiritual Journey: Centering Prayer

Most of us want to deepen our experience of the presence of God. Centering Prayer, a form of Christian meditation, is a way to do just that. It is a simple prayer practice that requires no prior experience or knowledge – just a willingness to go deeper in our relationship with God.

We will begin a new Centering Prayer Group on January 15th at 10:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall. You are invited! The Centering Prayer practice will be taught. We will also watch Father Thomas Keating’s video series titled, “The Spiritual Journey.” For more information, contact Mother Carlyle Gill.
