St. Peter’s welcomes opportunities to invite outside speakers to share information with the congregation on timely subjects. The “Beyond the Red Doors” speakers series takes place at approximately 9:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings, between the 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services. Parishioners of all ages are invited to sit and enjoy some refreshments while listening to informal presentations by knowledgeable speakers on a wide range of topics. Speakers usually allow time for a Q&A session with their audience. This program was on hiatus during the summer 2023 and will resume in November.
