9:30 am Combined Eucharist

Readings 

This upcoming Sunday’s floral arrangements are donated by Paula Aldersey, to the glory of God and in loving memory of her parents, Jack and Elsie Jennings.

We are thrilled to invite everyone to come together for a fantastic meal featuring juicy, marinated chicken souvlaki, grilled to perfection as well as an assortment of salads and deserts.

Everyone in the community is welcome to attend, and we look forward to a wonderful turnout.

The next choir practice will be Monday, July 6 at 9:30am

Those who are interested in joining the choir are encouraged to email Lois-Anne using the website form below.

As we enter the summer season, our weekly Compline service will be taking a temporary hiatus. 

The service will pause for the months of July and August to allow our leaders and volunteers a time of rest and refreshment.

We will gather again to resume our regular Compline schedule in September. Specific dates and times for our autumn return will be shared in the newsletter.

Thank you for your continued presence and support throughout the year. We wish you all a peaceful, safe, and rejuvenating summer.

Hello everyone!

St Peter’s church and specifically the group of volunteers who operate the food shelf program , wish to say thank you to the Management of Quality Foods Comox as represented by Amber. The program welcomes 25-30 individuals each month who need food assistance. We had run out of bags for our customers to fill when Quality Foods generously donated a pallet of paper bags for our use. Again many thanks!

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.

Thank you to everyone who's been stopping by with food!

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.

And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?”
And the blind man said to him, “Master, let me receive my sight.”
(Mark10:52)

Bartimaeus

I often wonder when I scan your face
And peer deep down into those sightless pools;
If I, for just a day should take your place
And bravely don your baggage and your tools.
Would I with courage clad mark out my spot
Along that crowded road to Jericho;
Wondering if David’s Son would heed or not
My piteous pleas, and bid my darkness go?
I too would gladly cast my cloak aside
And at His call, my feet I’d put to flight
Eager to reach and touch, and stand beside
The One who’d turn my darkness into light.
With sight restored, on trembling knees I’d plod,
And gaze in wonder at the face of God.
