SUNDAY SCHOOL – For children ages 3 years old through 12, St. Peter's offers the rich experience of Godly Play. Godly Play is a Christian education curriculum rooted in Montessori principles. Godly Play steeps the children in Bible stories and the rich tradition of the church, while also encouraging the children to use their imaginations to make these lessons come alive with fresh meaning.
Additionally, we begin our time together with “children’s church” a child-led worship experience and we finish with arts and crafts, games, and the most beloved part – a feast!
Children join their families and the congregation in church in time to share Holy Communion each Sunday. On the first Sunday of the month families are in church for the entire service, affectionately called, "Family Service." On this Sunday the children lead the worship ministries and the rector’s talk is designed to engage them in reflection and conversation.
YOUTH – St. Peter’s clergy and committed members of the laity are dedicated to working with parish youth (8th grade through high school) through annual summer service trips—both locally and further afield, often joining up with other youth organizations to accomplish a worthwhile project for non-profit organizations of various kinds. Young people are invited to assist church members with parish outreach activities. The youth also gather for fun and fellowship at times throughout the year, and participate in diocesan-sponsored youth events. Demographics determine the numbers of youth in any given year and at present our numbers are such that we hope to seek opportunities to join in anticipated regional diocesan youth gatherings or partner with neighboring churches.
ADULT FORMATION - Please come back for more information while our new rector begins plans for 2020.
