We need someone to help put out the bins on garbage and recycling days. The day of the week is a moving target, so if this is something you may be able to help with contact the office. Sara can provide you with the pick up schedule and more details. 

For August, pick up will be on Mondays.

When circumstances in our life or in the life of our church suddenly shift, we usually experience a degree of  initial concern about what will happen next and how the changes might impact us. Questions surface in our thoughts  such as “ What will happen next?” and  “Will the things that matter most continue?” or “What can I do to help?” It is at this junction that we find ourselves presented with a  choice to  either let these concerns dominate us or if we will be ruled instead by God’s peace.  

In the coming months  we will go on a journey together in the search for a new Incumbent Rector. With the Holy Spirit to guide our steps and to also guide the person who is meant to be our next Rector, we can choose to set aside worries for the future and, instead, allow His peace to rule in our hearts.   

The Search Committee met this week to start preparing a “profile” pamphlet containing information about our parish to send to those who express  interest in applying to be St Peter’s new Rector. After we complete and distribute  this “profile”  pamphlet,  there will be an opportunity and a process for everyone  to give their  input and share our  hopes and wishes for St. Peters in the future. Please continue to pray for the Search Committee, Canon Jenny and  Bishop Anna on this journey with you. 

Paul wrote to the Colossian church “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body, you were called to peace”. (Col 3:15).   So too, let us be as one Body and be ruled by His peace on the journey ahead.
