For about 12 years we were part of a small, thriving evangelical congregation down the Shore.  While we were extremely happy with our church home, after moving to Salisbury and living here a few years we decided that we wanted a church a bit closer to home.  We talked to a few friends who worshipped at St. Peter’s and decided to visit on Palm Sunday, 2010.

While I’m comfortable worshipping in almost any setting, the liturgy makes me feel closer to God.  I enjoy the structure of the prayer book.  It allows me to concentrate on the worship, God’s Word, the preaching, and the celebration of the Eucharist.  More than anything else, Father Todd and the people I met at St. Peter’s made me feel at home.

Another thing that I love about the parish is that I’m given an opportunity to serve the Lord in multiple ways.  I had never volunteered at a homeless shelter, until I was given the opportunity when St. Peter’s hosted the Community Emergency Shelter Project for two weeks.  I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to serve as a chalicist, a lay reader, to work with the altar guild and many other opportunities.  The people at St. Peter’s have really become family.
