Creation of Prayer Labyrinth – An Intergenerational Event – March 10^th, 10 AM

On March 10^th during our Christian education hour, children and adults painted a large, canvas labyrinth. Labyrinths are spiral-patterned walkways that people have used for thousands of years as tools for meditation, contemplation and prayer. The St. Peter’s labyrinth will be available Maundy Thursday for parishioners and visitors to “walk” as part of their Holy Week journey.

Sunday Church School for Grades PreK-8: 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.

Joining the Church School at Saint Peter's enables children to have a safe and sacred place to seek answers, discover truth and learn to grow in the grace of God daily.  Our program allows children to explore and grow their faith, and acquire a foundation in the history of God's saving work among God's people.

Using the Bible, The Book of Common Prayer and other creative resources, our enthusiastic and caring teachers create the opportunity for our children to  begin to understand what it means to be a Christian in today's world.

If you'd like to enroll your child, please fill out the Church School Registration Form (PDF) and return it to the church office.
