A fun afternoon at the Parish picnic/service on June 22nd, 2025.

We may be two churches, but we are one big happy Church Family. Thanks to everyone who made this such a great event. Kim and Joanne who organized the morning/afternoon and to all those who contributed to the delicious meal.

A wonderful, combined service and picnic was held on June 22nd, 2025, at the Rectory in Cookstown,  inside due to the intense 40 degree Celsius weather. Great food, great company and delicious food.  A big thank you to Joanne and Kim who organized the event and to all those who brought their favourite main dish or dessert, it was all delicious.

St. Peter's held an Appreciation Day for Jean Zielke, on Feb. 23rd, 2025, who has been playing the organ at our church for over 60+ years. Many of her family members joined in to help us celebrate Jean. It was a lovely morning/afternoon. We were joined by a few members of  our sister church, St. John's. A light luncheon was enjoyed by all. We also had Rev. Sonja Free taking the service while Rev. David and Jennifer took a much deserved holiday. Thank you Sonja.
