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!

godly play

Godly Play is a program that uses a hands-on approach to Christian formation. Children ages 3 to 11 are invited to listen to stories, pray together, and wonder about God. We meet Sunday 9am-9:50am in the Lower Level of the Community Hall. 

Godly Play encourages children to ask questions and respond to the lesson in open and creative ways.

Our goal in Godly Play is to show how to be open to the Holy Spirit, the Creator, and the Redeemer all at once, all the time in every place.

    GRADES 5 -12    

    Join us Sundays at 9am for thought-provoking discussions on faith, fun games, and community service opportunities. During these gatherings, we explore sacred texts, the Book of Common Prayer, and the significance of serving the community. Our aim is not only personal growth, but also fostering a deep sense of community that extends beyond St. Peter's Square. Through our actions, we strive to show the world the love of Christ.

  • 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!
