When: Mondays, 6:15 – 7:30 pm | June 12–July 31
Led by: Fr. Michael Petty
Pathways 1, & 4

Using The Book of Common Prayer can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with it or if you have come from a non-liturgical background. If you have found yourself puzzled by the liturgy on Sunday or would like to be able to use the Book of Common Prayer in your daily prayer life, this class is for you. Over the course of seven weeks, we will explore the origins of the Book of Common Prayer, the history of Christian liturgy, the Daily Office (Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer), the theology of the sacraments, the Eucharist, Holy Baptism as a model for the Christian life, the Sunday collects and Scripture readings, the liturgies for Holy Matrimony, the anointing of the sick, Reconciliation, Ministry at the Time of Death, the seasons of the Church year, and the Prayer Book vision for individual and common worship and prayer. By the end of the class, you will not only have a better understanding of the “how” of Anglican worship but also a better understanding of the “why”. The resource book for this class is A Walk Through the Prayer Book by Arnold Klukas.

Join us for ONE SERVICE at 10AM, followed by a (quick!) tour of the Cathedral spaces ending on the North Lawn for burgers, hot dogs, drinks, games, and fellowship!

What are we exploring?

Get to know Cathedral Staff and where they work, along with ALL that really happens in each space. It’s probably more than you think!

What are we celebrating?

St. Peter’s is 17! But more importantly, God has done incredible things through the ministry of St. Peter’s over the last seventeen years. Yes, there have been challenging moments, but God has been gracious to us and continued to impact each of us and those around us!

What are we looking forward to?

The future (obviously)! We have big ideas for how God might continue to use St. Peter’s to expand the Kingdom of Heaven and impact our community and world with the transforming love of Jesus Christ!

Liturgy 101

Monday, 15 November, 6:30pm

Are you interested in learning more about St. Peter’s and why we do the things we do here?  Liturgy 101 provides the opportunity for the clergy of St. Peter’s to explain all the particulars of a typical Sunday worship service in detail, including a display of pieces used during the Eucharist and baptism, as well as vestments worn by Priests, the Bishop, Lay Eucharistic Ministers, and Vergers. Liturgy 101 is a time to learn the why and how of the Anglican faith and tradition and ask questions. For example, what are people doing before the Gospel reading on their forehead, lips, and heart? Why do the priests wear different color stoles at different times of the year? 

Join us in the Nave of the church to find out the answer to these questions, as well as much, much more!

No need to register, but childcare is only available upon request.  Contact Amy Cooksey at Amy@StPetersFL.com with any questions.
