St. Peter's shield - small Nuts and Bolts of Liturgy

Tuesday, March 16
7:00 pm at the Church

Why do Anglicans do the things we do in the liturgy? Father Eric Dudley will answer those questions that we’ve all wanted to ask. A real “show and tell,” Fr.Dudley explains the different sections of the Church, what is on and around the altar and the meaning behind it all. In addition, he will bring out all of the vestments and talk about what they mean and how they enhance worship. Great for visitors and newcomers, yet a fascinating learning experience for all!
