The Worship Service
Upon entering the church you will be given a bulletin—which contains the Order of Service and weekly announcements—by a Greeter or Usher. Once seated, please be sure to fill out a Communication Card which you will find in the pew. Worship Services at St. Peter’s are conducted from the Book of Common Prayer and Hymnal. Page numbers and directions are given at regular intervals during the service. Following the service please give your Communication Card to a Greeter or Usher. As a thank you for visiting we have a gift we’d like to give you.
