A major part of the evening is the Silent Auction bidding on theme baskets. To do this, though, we need volunteers to build baskets. We've already come up with the ideas - we just need YOU to CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW to go to our Sign-Up Genius and choose a basket, build it, wrap it, and bring it to the room outside Sue's office by Sunday, September 29.

The Regional Faith Community is an innovative regional community, now in our 4th year, using study and festive Eucharists to discover the joy that deepening our Christian spirituality can bring.
We invite seekers from the Regional Ministry Network of Constance and her Companions to join us. We meet alternately at St. Peter’s Mountain Lakes and COTS, Denville. CLICK HERE for more information.
MHA Social Club Dinner, Thursday, Sept 26, 6 to 7:30 PM
This past Sunday, our guest speaker, Madine Despeine, reminded us that MHA clients are overcoming difficult situations. Most have little money, and they tend to live alone in small apartments or rooming houses. Their greatest needs are to be among people, share in everyday situations, enjoy routine conversations, and experience life in simple, positive ways.
To that end we will begin hosting the MHA Social Club at St. Peter’s – a gathering of 25 or so clients – to enjoy a good meal and interactions with others. We will host this group several times a year; the first will be a barbecue on Thursday evening September 26th on our new patio (weather permitting). The Outreach Committee will organize the evening, and parishioners of all ages are encouraged to join in. If you are interested in participating in any way please reach out to our Outreach Committee Chair, Don MacGowan at [email protected].
Birth Announcement in our Parish
We celebrate the belated announcement of the birth of Giovanna Marie Mastroianni on July 16, 2024. Giovanna is Scott and Casey's second child and little sister to Antonia Grace. We look forward to Giovanna's Baptism on October 13, which will be performed by Casey's Dad, the Rev. Philip Carr-Jones (a recently retired priest of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey), who will also preach that day. What a beautiful blessing for their family and all of us at St. Peter's!
