Sing with us sunday's
On one Sunday each month, the children and youth join St. Peter's Choir to sing the Hymn of Praise. We practice together at 9 AM that morning. Join us for Church School Sunday at 9 AM, and we’ll walk over to the Sanctuary as a group. We can’t wait to see you there!
Our last two Sing with me Sundays are
4/6 and 5/4.

godly play
Godly Play is an interactive program designed to nurture children's spiritual growth through storytelling, prayer, and exploration. Open to children ages 3 to 11, this hands-on approach to Christian formation invites them to wonder about God in a meaningful way.
We gather on Sundays from 9:00 to 10:20 AM in the Lower Level of the Community Hall. Following Godly Play, children join their families in the Sanctuary during the Peace where they're encouraged to take an active role in the service by joining our priest around the altar to observe Communion up close.
Godly Play fosters curiosity and creativity, encouraging children to ask questions and engage with the lessons in a personal way.
Our goal is to inspire wonder and curiosity about God, the Bible, and the Church, helping children deepen their faith through exploration and discovery.

SPY is an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive group that meets weekly at 9am to learn about and discuss God. We promote visible representation of LGBTQ+ individuals in our events and leadership roles, creating safe spaces for connection and expression. By actively engaging LGBTQ+ youth in community activities and encouraging allies to advocate for their rights, we strive to foster a nurturing environment where they can thrive and be their authentic selves.
Every year, we gather our youth to represent St. Peter's at the Delaware PRIDE Festival.
St. Peter's youth, along with other Episcopal youth groups in Delaware, come together to celebrate and share in the joy of the festival. We would love for you to stop by our booth and join us in this wonderful experience! -
