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.

    The Sunday 8:00 AM service is referred to as
    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.

    On Sundays at 10:30 AM it's Holy Eucharist
    Rite 2.  There is a musician and a choir (except in
    the Summer when the choir takes a vacation).  
    Hymns are sung and oftentimes some of the parts
    of the service are sung or chanted.
    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.

    Holy Communion Rite 1 is also said on
    Wednesdays at 10:00AM.

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