During Holy Week, there will be daily services of Morning Prayer in the chapel, with meditations and reflections offered during the service.

10 AM – Maundy Thursday Morning Eucharist
Join us in the chapel for our regular mid-week service of Eucharist.
6 PM – Formal Maundy Thursday service
As St. Peter’s begins to focus on the climax of Holy Week, we invite you to join us for our formal Maundy Thursday service at 6:00 pm in the church. Members of the congregation are invited to join us for supper at 4:45 pm during our weekly TNL dinner. Come and join our community dinner, and then come with friends and guests to the church, as we mark the evening of the Last Supper. At 6:00 pm we will have a Service of holy Communion, with Washing of Feet and the Stripping of the Altar. Please join us as we gather to remember Christ’s journey this night, and remember: all ages are welcome!
Friday, April 18, 2025 – Good Friday
9:45 AM – Family Stations of the Cross Program
For Good Friday, we will be having a Family Friendly Stations of the Cross Program that begins at 09:45 am. We will be gathering at the front of Victoria Hall downtown, just after 09:30 am, and we will have our Youth and Sunday school members carry our large wooden Cross through downtown to St. Peter’s. We will stop throughout our journey and read out the stations of the cross, as a public witness of faith to the Town for Good Friday. All are welcome to join us and we anticipate the activities to last about 35 minutes.
11 AM – Good Friday Service
Our 11:00 am Good Friday service for 2025 will focus on the traditional veneration of the Holy Cross, as we are invited to walk with Jesus through his death and passion. This year our choir will once again be singing Allegri’s famous Miserere Mei, Deus (Latin for “Have mercy on me, O God”), a setting of Psalm 51 that was composed in the early 1630s, for the exclusive use of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Please join us in-person or online for this solemn and holy day.
