Altar Guild
     A group of dedicated women who are responsible for preparing the sanctuary area of the Church for Sunday service.

Bible Study
     A group of parishioners who meet every Wednesday evening following the mid week Eucharist. "It is one thing to study the Bible as a literary document, but quite another thing to mediate on it in full awareness of the ONE whose word speaks to us."

Choir
     Men and women and children who enjoy singing, are welcome to join our choir for a weekly practice to enhance our 10:00 a.m. Sunday service.

Ladies Fellowship
     The St. Peter's Ladies Guild, (now called St Peter's Ladies Fellowship), Birch Cove, was founded in 1951. The first meeting was held at the home of Mrs. R. Garden. The Ladies Fellowship meets regularly and  organizes the fund raising events, and promotes fellowship. They are also available to cater for special events. New members are always welcome.  The Ladies Fellowship is a strong, important group within the life of St Peter's.  Shown in the photograph are from left to right: Peggy Taylor, Charlotte Horwich, Joy Gerhardt, Elin Blondahl, Edie Boutillier, Lorraine Traynor, Jo Sutherland, Jane Murphy and Judy Appleton.

Mens Fellowship

Newly formed the Mens Fellowship meet on the third Saturday of each month (excluding July & August) in Dakin Hall for breakfast at 8 am.  Completely catered by 'the guys', it provides an hour of fellowship and fun.  A guest speaker is invited to provide a stimulating message.  All are welcome.
