Welcome
to Our Site
St. Peter's is an Anglican Church, nestled on the border of Kingston and Amherstview. We have been serving the people of Kingston and Loyalist Township for over 60 years, and would love for you to join us at one of our worship services!
​
Worship Services
Each week we gather as a community to worship God in various ways.
​
In addition to our regular Sunday and Wednesday services, we occasionally hold Morning Prayer,
Evening Prayer, and other special services depending on the various seasons of the Church.
Check out our Calendar or What to Expect pages for more details about services.​
Worship Service Times
Sunday - 10 am
Our Sunday Service is a "middle of the road" (neither 'high church' nor 'low church') Holy Communion Service, with times of hymn singing and a liturgy drawn from the Book of Alternative Services. We often meet for Coffee Hour after the Service.
On Sundays during the Summer months of July and August our children's ministry takes a break. Children are invited to remain in the service and may utilize one of our Summer Sunday School activity packs located at the back of the church.
Tuesday - 7 pm
On Tuesday evenings we gather in our chapel at 7pm for Evening Prayer. This long standing Anglican practice is a welcome interlude into our busy weeks where we are invited to stop and push back of the temptation to forget to let God be in control of our busyness. We gather to pray with, and for, each other, our church, and our broader community as we seek to walk in step with Christ as his body present to each other and to the world. The liturgy is often take from the Evening Prayer service in the Book of Common Prayer.
Wednesday - Noon
Our Wednesday Service is a traditional Book of Common Prayer service which does not include music, but does offer time for quiet, contemplative reflection.

Bible Study &
BCP Service
Both our Bible Study (which takes place on Wednesdays @ 10:30) and our Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion Service (Every Wednesday at Noon) are a great way to connect with God and others in the midst of our week.
Our Bible study will be starting to read and study the book of Exodus which will likely be the topic through Lent and Easter to Pentecost.
Our Noon BCP service offers a great opportunity to participate in communion for those that enjoy the traditional prayer book service or cannot attend services on a Sunday.

We will be holding a Worship Advisory Committee meeting at 6:30pm. All who attend St. Peter's and are interested in getting involved with the planning and shaping of what our worship life at St. Peter's looks like are welcome to attend. This is a great opportunity to learn about what is involved with running the services, and to offer ideas and opinions about the various aspects of the service.

Each month our council gathers to pray for and discuss matters pertaining to the guidance and leadership of our church. Council members offer their insights and expertise into various matters the church is considering, which are then presented to the church's corporation for final decision. Any one is welcome to attend a council meeting, but matters for discussion must be brought to the wardens beforehand.
