Sundays, 9:15 - 10:15 AM 

We kick off our Sunday School program year at the All Parish End-of-Summer Picnic.  Held the Sunday prior to Labor Day, the picnic features lots of family friendly games and activities.  Our program year follows very closely to the public school year, September to June.

Sunday School classes start the Sunday after Labor Day and continue until June. We begin at 9:15 AM, with an opening in the sanctuary where Barbara Verdile, Director of Music, leads children in singing. Then in the Sunday School wing, from 9:30-10:15 AM, our faithful Sunday School teachers instruct and inspire their energetic charges; using the award winning Cook Ministries Anglican Edition curriculum.

Sundays durning 10:30 AM service

St. Peter’s Children’s Chapel is a children’s-based Episcopal service in which children learn to worship in much the same way the adults do in their service. Children's Chapel is offered during the 10:30 AM service. 

With this program, the Children experience a church service set up to follow the regular service including:

• Opening Prayer
• Gospel reading
• Interactive discussion about the Gospel reading
• Music
• Children’s Nicene Creed, Prayers for Young People, and a children’s general confession
• If we have time, MORE MUSIC!

Children are led back into the sanctuary by an usher for the Peace and Eucharist. We’d love to have you come and visit, take a look, sit with your child, or even participate!  It’s a fun way to experience the liturgy.

Rite 13, Journey to Adulthood (J2A), Young Adults in the Church - Sundays, 9:30 - 10:15 AM

Youth Group - Sundays, 6:00 PM

The purpose of the Youth Ministry here at St. Peter’s is “Building Christian Teens for Life.”  We nurture teens to become fully devoted followers of Jesus and to take their place in the Body of Christ.

Our Youth Ministry provides a safe place for youth:

• To come and work through the tough questions they face about life, faith, and their place in the world.
• To be themselves, receive healing, be a part of the Body with their peers, and learn from their elders.
• To bring friends who are not a part of the faith but are curious, hurting and needing to feel the love of Christ, and looking for a place where they can learn and grow in the faith in Christ that is already alive within them.

Ideas have consequences. What you believe influences how you live. We dig into these ideas in Sunday School, every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM. Our curriculum - Journey to Adulthood - takes our teens through three different two-year classes, each one building on the one before.

Children’s Ministries continue in the summer with our annual Vacation Bible School (VBS). VBS is usually presented at the beginning of July and uses a curriculum especially selected by the program administrators. The 2010 curriculum was “Saddle Ridge Ranch” a VBS program helping kids discover who they are, that God cares about them, has a plan for them, and how we can be like Jesus. Adult and teen volunteers work hard for this unforgettable week. The children enjoyed zany daily skits and fun activities, crafts and food. On the night of our closing program, an ice cream social draws the VBS participants, and their families together, filling the parish hall to the brim!
