]]> Forty-five people from St. Peter’s, Upper Gullies, and the surrounding area came together on Saturday February 7th for a special prayer breakfast which was organized by the Men’s Service Club. The session was led by Father Gerald Westcott, who led participants through a number exercises focused on the topic of “Spiritual Awakening,” in which we considered some verses from 1 John 4 :7 and 16, concerning love.

We were also pleased to welcome members of the Foxtrap/Upper Gullies C.L.B. Company, who helped us process around the church. Before officiating at the annual service celebrating the Confession of St. Peter, Bishop Sam Rose made time to meet with our confirmation class. We estimate the congregation for the service was well over 100 people.

A special highlight of this event was when Parker Butler, age 12, sang a stirring rendition of “How Great Thou Art.” Parker is the great-grandson of lifelong parishioner Edna Warford.

We thank God for this wonderful time together.
