It was a marvelous journey, and thanks be to God for the gift of community, song, and theatre that was Godspell 2011. Hundreds of actors, crew and volunteers created a beautiful city of storytelling, gospel and faith. Photo slideshows will remain on the Godspell 2011 page and at the St. Peter’s Flickr photostream.

Click over to the Godspell page for details on this spring’s youth musical production! Participation is open to all interested singer/actors in grades 2-12.

On Sunday, December 12, 2010, we’ll observe our Advent tradition for the 20th time! Choir and soloists from St. Peter’s will be joined by a chamber orchestra conducted by Don Witman. We’ll sing Part I of Handel’s Messiah, capped off by a rousing rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus.

Dress is casual, and the event is family-friendly. Older children enjoy being part of the music-making, and the nursery is open for young ones. Bring a score or borrow one at the door, and plan to stay for the reception.
