Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church welcomes people of all ages to worship, grow, connect, and serve. Peter’s Mission Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, you call us to be more than ourselves, so guide us to be like our patron St. Peter, the rock on whom you built your church. Grant us the courage and grace to pursue your kingdom and minister to the suffering, the friendless, and the needy. Where, with o

ne mind, one body, and one heart we are called together in Christ, transformed by God’s grace, and sent by the Spirit to serve, in order to make a world, a church, and a community where all are welcomed because all belong. All this we pray for the love of the one who calls us to follow the truth, the way, and the life, Jesus Christ. Peter’s is located in an historic area of Virginia close to the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. It is easily accessible by major roads and bus routes. Set on a wooded and tranquil site, St. Peter’s affords its members and others a quiet place to worship and meditate. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We welcome those who wish to become involved in the life of the parish and, through it, the spiritual life of the community and the region.

“The Dignity of Forgiveness”

Drawing on bereaved Israeli and Palestinian parents who chose to see their enemies' humanity, this sermon on Matthew 18 invites us to share the forgiveness and mercy that has been extended by God to those who have caused us harm. Releasing the debt of harm leads to freedom and joy.

Hear the entire sermon. Link in the comments.

Welcome home! Whether you've been away for the summer, are looking for a church home, or are visiting us for the very first time, Welcome Sunday is a joyful place to begin. It's back-to-school time, and we're kicking off the fall by welcoming folks home from summer vacations — come with your family and invite your friends and neighbors along.

Join us for worship at 10:15 a.m., then stay for a picnic lunch, playground fun, and a petting zoo starting at 11:30 a.m. Come as you are, and give us a try!

Join us Saturday, September 12 at 5:00 PM in the Campbell Chapel for a Taizé Prayer Service with Holy Communion — a quiet space of simple chant, candlelight, scripture, silence, and prayer.

The songs are intentionally uncomplicated and meditative, letting prayer move gently from the mind into the heart.

No preparation needed. No experience required. Come as you are, and stay as long as you need. Sing, listen, light a candle, or simply sit in the stillness.

In a world that rarely slows down, this is one hour set apart — space to breathe, listen, pray, and rest in the presence of God.

Invite a friend who could use a chance to slow down.

Overheard by the Director of Youth, Children, & Family ministry at communion this past Sunday: 4 year old “That’s a GOOD cracker!”, followed by 1st grader, looking at the communion wafer in his mouth after it was dipped in the wine: “Does wine have caffeine?” The joys and wonders our children bring to the communion rail!

What a gift it was to have our quartet lift up such beautiful harmonies during worship this past Sunday! Their voices filled St. Peter's with a sense of peace and beauty that we're still carrying with us. Take a moment to watch and listen, and let their music bless your week the way it blessed ours.
