  • Adult Christian Education meets every Sunday in the Barn following the 9:00 a.m. service. Anglicans proudly proclaim that we sit on the "three-legged stool" of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. This fall, with Opening the Bible, we will explore the first leg of the stool and learn how the Bible came to be, how it is read and understood by people of faith, and how we can use it in our spiritual journey.

  • The A Capella Pops, an acclaimed fifty-voice chorus founded by and under the direction of parishioner Jan Muck, performs at St. Peter's Church in the Barn on October 22, 2006, at 4:00 p.m. The group is generously donating all proceeds from its performance to St. Peter's to benefit the capital fund drive.

  • Has your family discovered a fun outing that you love to tell other families about? St. Peter's Preschool is creating a book of family outings, including restaurants, parks, museums, outdoor destinations - anything families enjoy - to sell at this year's Craft Fair, and we need your help! The book will include the usual info about cost, hours, and attractions, but also straight talk about each outing from people who have been there and know the value of a changing table, a water fountain, and a children's menu that's not entirely deep-fried. Marsha Wirtel (434-962-3121) is forming a group to collect and check out ideas.
