Youth Group:
St. Peter's is commited to reforming an active group of children of all ages who enjoy getting together once a month for a variety of activities. Our youth group is currently involved in purchasing and wrapping gifts for under-priviledged families around the Christmas holidays.

Children's Sunday: A wonderful celebration is provided by our Children on the first Sunday of every month. Instead of attending Sunday School on those days, the children participate in the entire mass; some of the older students volunteer as lectors for the Readings, and the Youth Choir often has a special hymn to sing. our rector tailors his sermons for the children - and for the youth in all of us!

Children's Choir: The children sing as part of the combined Childrens/Adult Choir.



All Saints Day: Every November, our Sunday School students assume the role of a selected saint. The students dress like the saints, and memorize (or read) key information about their saint. Father Henderson interacts with the congregation and the "saint" to see who knows the key details of the saint's life. It's a great learning experience for young and old alike!

Children's Christmas Service: This has become a Christmas Eve tradition for many local families! At 5pm on Christmas Eve, we tell the Nativity story, complete with songs. The children carry the Nativity figures to the creche and carefully place them in their spots when their person/animals are discussed. The children become personally connected with this wonderous story as they wait for mention of the donkey, or the shepherds, or the baby Jesus. The church is often packed with children and parents for this special service; if this is not a tradition in your family yet, come join us once and you'll be hooked!

Acolytes: Children, some as young as 11 years old, regularly serve with the adults, as acolytes. The children have been trained by the veterans, and do a wonderful job on the altar! Any child interested in becoming an acolyte should see Bob Sherwood.
