ADVENT
The Season Advent begins on November 29th. We will light our first candle, The Candle of Hope.
The first candle symbolizes hope and is called the "Prophet’s Candle." The prophets of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah, waited in hope for the Messiah’s arrival. The purple color symbolizes royalty, repentance, and fasting.
Online Christmas BAzaar
Our bidding ends on Nov. 30th. Be sure and get your bids in and take home some great homemade goodies and Christmas gifts for your family or yourself. The Congregations of St. Peter's Churchill and St. John's Cookstown are excited to bring you this new way of holding our annual Christmas bazaar and bake sale.
With a new way of life comes new ways to fun(d)raise and sustain our outreach, and the Church, like everyone else, has to find new ways of reaching the community around us.
We are pleased to present Our Anglican MarketPlace, an online auction.

St. Peter’s Memorial Wall
In lieu of Remembrance Day, George Leggett, our church historian, has sent a link to the Memorial Wall at St. Peter's, which contains information regarding the sacrifices of those who were part of Canada's Forces and who lost their lives so we could be free. There is also a tribute to the men of St. Peter's, who were part of St. Peter's Church and lost their lives in the battles.
The Memorial Wall corner is located beside the door that leads to the Parish hall. Until we are able to attend church on a more normal basis, and spend time reading this most interesting tribute, we are sending a link to some of the contents of that binder. Thank you George for all your hard work putting it together and for suggesting this idea, and to Dawn, his wife who put together the pictures of the chamber, pages from the book of Memorial and the pictures of the Veterans.
