Q: How long are services?

Q: What is the “BCP” and the “Hymnal”?
A: The worship service uses texts from the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) of the Episcopal Church and hymns found in the Hymnal. Both books may be found in the pew racks. The worship bulletin for the 8:00 AM service includes an order of service and will direct you to the correct page in the BCP. A full text bulletin is available for the 10:00 AM service. Hymns are indicated by hymn number (not page number) and are posted on the hymn boards in the front of the church and in the bulletin. All are welcome to take full part in our worship regardless of denomination.
Q: This is my first visit - where do I go?
A: There is ample parking around St. Peter’s. The main entrance is located at the front of the building. Greeters are typically nearby on Sunday mornings. Once inside, the sanctuary is straight ahead. Ushers can help you find a seat if you’d like assistance.
If you park in the rear of the building, an entrance is available directly into the Parish Hall. Walk through the Hall and up the stairs.
Restrooms are located at the end of the hallways on the lower level and the church level.
The parish office, clergy offices, and the Bidwell Room library are on the same level as the church. The third floor includes church school meeting space and the music room.
Q: Is there an elevator?
A: Yes. If you park in the rear of the building, enter the Parish Hall and take a right past the kitchen. If you park in the front of the building, follow the walkway on the right of the front steps and enter the sanctuary through the Chapel.
