Bells to be Tolled to Honor WWI Veterans Governor Hogan issued a proclamation calling for bells to be tolled in Maryland on November 11, 2018 at 11:00 am in remembrance of veterans of World War I. The proclamation coincides with a call by the United States World War I Centennial Commission for all Americans to participate in a national tolling of bells. If you would like to be the bell ringer for Saint Peter's please talk to Mother Emily.

Please join Sandy Miller at 9am each Sunday for Practicing Our Faith - take a journey through The Book of Common Prayer, the Christian life, and basic beliefs of our faith in this 26-session. You do not need to attend all sessions to get something out of this study so join whenever you are able! See how our prayer shapes our belief and our lives and how our beliefs lead us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Even though we pray the words of The Book of Common Prayer each week, many of us don't know where these prayers come from, what they mean, or how they call us to live on a daily basis.

Education for Ministry Enrollment for Fall 2018 -- Have you ever wanted to take a deeper dive into your faith or wonder what ministry God is calling on you to do as one of his disciples?
