Please remember to place your offering in one of the Offering Plates near the Altar before the service begins. If you arrive late, please place it in the plate immediately following the service.

We will have another Parish Cleanup Day on August 15 from 10am until noon. All are invited! Please let Lisa Hallett know if you can help.

We have a refrigerator in the kitchen that we would like to sell. If interested, please speak with Brian Clark.

An Update from Stephanie Campbell on the Farm: Last Tuesday, Brian Clark and I made our first delivery of St. Peter's Farm fresh organic produce to Father Juan Reyes and his wife of Christ Church in Brentwood. Many thanks to our gardeners who donated extra produce! Father Juan, also an avid gardener, was so gracious and noted that the produce would be helpful to local families. His Church also has plans to start a garden like St. Peter's Farm so we invited him to visit, with hopes that our communities can find ways to help each other. The Episcopal Ministries of Long Island has been so supportive of St. Peter's Organic Victory Garden. We will be making another delivery next Tuesday so anyone with extra produce who would like to add to our delivery, please contact Stephanie Campbell or Brian Clark.
