A message from Reverend Francis
Dear St. Peter's,
What a joy it was worshipping with you and getting to know
some of you.
I wanted to send a brief note for clarification. For personal reasons my wife and I have decided we would take her family name of Spencer. I am now in the process of this change and I wanted to note
that you will now be seeing my name posted as
Reverend Francis Spencer instead of Delaplain.
I hope this does not cause undo confusion. Thank you for your understanding,
Francis +

Lanyard Station Organized and Ready for Sunday!
We have a wonderful update to share! This week, our parish lanyards were completely reorganized to make finding yours a breeze.
As we continue to welcome Francis into our community, please remember to find and wear your lanyard this coming Sunday. Having our names visible is a small but incredibly helpful way to assist Francis in learning everyone's names and getting to know
each of us personally.
If you do not already have a lanyard, please do not worry. We have provided blank badges and lanyards at the welcome station so you can easily create one before the service starts.
Thank you for your help in making our community feel
warm and welcoming!

Parking Area Update
Hey everyone! Now that Reverend Francis and his family have arrived, we are asking that the parking area next to the rectory be used strictly by parishioners with mobility issues. This request applies not only on Sundays, but throughout the entire week as well.
Thank you so much for your understanding, your kindness, and for helping us look out for one another. |

Summer Garden Maintenance Update
You may have noticed our church gardens looking for a little
extra love lately.
We are happy to share that routine maintenance is officially taken care of for the season! The team from Lavenders Blue will be visiting within the next two days to tidy up the beds and keep our grounds looking beautiful all summer long.

Donations for Food Shelf
Right now we'd particularly appreciate donations of canned food items, such as vegetables or fruit. We are also in need of rice, peanut butter and jam, cookies or crackers and snack food. Most urgently, we are running extremely low on toilet paper and would greatly appreciate any donations of this essential item.
Thank you to everyone who's been stopping by with food! |

Partners in Mission for JulyAlongside Hope Alongside Hope has been connecting Anglicans in Canada to people in need since 1958. Once named for the Primate, the head of the Anglican Church in Canada, in 2024 the membership approved our new name. Alongside Hope is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and relief. Since 1958, they have worked hand-in-hand with trusted partners in Canada and around the world on a journey of positive change. Together, we are improving health, food security and livelihoods where needs are greatest. Alongside Hope receives donations from people across Canada – Anglicans as well as non-Anglicans – and also receives funds from other sources, including Global Affairs Canada and institutional donors. Their volunteers promote Alongside Hope programs in churches and communities, to raise money and awareness about the needs of vulnerable people around the world. The staff in Toronto are careful stewards of these funds and work to ensure that development and relief programs are as efficient and effective as possible. Alongside Hope is committed to working in diverse communities and does not proselytize in its work. For more infomation visit:
