Welcome

Welcome to St. Peter's Episcopal Church, located in the heart of Lakeview.
 

At St. Peter's, you will find a diverse parish filled with people from all walks of life — gay, straight, married, partnered, single, young, and not-so-young.

Come in and you'll experience transformative worship rooted in ancient liturgy, friendly people who reflect the values and demographics of Lakeview, and good coffee.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey — doubting, full-of-faith, or in between — you belong at St. Peter's.

 

 

124 Years in Lakeview

St. Peter's parish was formed in 1888, and has served the Lakeview neighborhood in the present church building since 1895.

We are home to Red Tape Theatre, and 12-step groups that meet in our Parish House. Parishioners help serve meals at North Side Housing and Supportive Services and support Lakeview Pantry with  donations and food. 

We invite you to join us as we explore new ways to serve our neighbors in Lakeview.

Announcements

Let's Celebrate 125 Years in Lakeview!
This spring, St. Peter’s is reaching a milestone birthday: its quasquicentennial! That’s 125 years of serving Lakeview and proclaiming the Gospel. On Trinity Sunday, June 3, we’ll be celebrating with a day of festivities. June 3 is also the beginning of summer schedule, meaning the Sung Eucharist begins at 10 a.m.
 
During the 10 a.m. Eucharist on Trinity Sunday, we will dedicate the church’s brand new front doors and celebrate the sacredness of the work people do when they're outside those doors. Bring something with you that represents your life – a book, a badge, a script, a sign, a business card. We will place these items on the altar, thanking God for and asking his blessing on the work and ministries we all do everyday. Following the service, there will be a special catered reception in the Guild Room with appetizers, cake, drinks, and friends!
 
So come as we celebrate the past while looking forward to all that God has in store for this place in the next 125 years!
 
Wednesday Night Contemplative Eucharist

Come and be still, surrounded by candle light, incense, and ancient liturgy. This liturgy will offer spaces for silence and meditation, Taizé chant and a simple Communion each Wednesday evening at 7:15 PM.

Knitting and Fellowship
Are you a knitter looking to spend time with other knitters? Are you a new knitter looking for some help? Are you not even sure you want to be a knitter, but want to try? Join us Saturday, May 19 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. in the Guild Room for knitting, conversation, & comradery. New to knitting? There will be yarn and needles for you. Contact Qiana Johnson with any questions.
Blessing of the Bicycles

The annual Blessing of the Bicycles will take place Sunday, May 20, 2012, on the front steps of the church following the 11 AM sung Eucharist service. Come worship at St. Peter's and have your bike blessed for the year!
