We hope that you can come along and join us for a light modern service. Everyone is always welcome 

To Crafters from Suzie:

Thank you for your lovely baked goods and craft donated for Sunday 5th July, to make our Stall such a success. It is so pleasing to see parishioners taking the time to answer the call for goods for our Stall.
For the remainder of 2026, we will now be looking at having a St. Peter’s Stall at the Uniting Church in November. The date to be advised. 
A reminder that all cooked goods must have the ingredients and date of cooking clearly marked. Please PRICE your goods by what YOU might pay for the item YOURSELF.  Almost everyone has been doing this and it makes the event so much easier and enjoyable,
Thankyou and looking forward to seeing your lovely work.
