“ Why attend the Episcopal Church”
“I attend the Episcopal Church because I am part of the worship service even sitting in the congregation. I have a vocal input even if it is only reciting the prayers or creeds with others – my voice is heard by my fellow attendees and by God. I am putting claim to the prayer I pray or the creed I recite. I pray the prayers for others and for myself by speaking them aloud. I attend the Episcopal Church because I am comfortable here – When I kneel and pray before services begin I can place my sorrows, hurts, unkind words or actions on the altar and walk away for a new week refreshed and ready to serve. I find a great deal of peace in our church, not because of me but because I can find forgiveness and joy within these walls simply by letting go of me and looking to and for God.”

St. Peter’s of the Lakes Episcopal Church cannot take credit for this piece. It was found on an Episcopal Church website and although we do not know the author ( BH), his words expressed the same feelings that we the parishioners of St. Peter’s have each and every time we worship together.
Reflecting on years past
St. Peter’s is a small but vibrant and welcoming church, nestled in a small subdivision just a block off of hwy #641, near Ky Dam State Park.
We welcome everyone, whether you are visiting the lakes area or live here permanently and are looking for a church home. Come visit us on Sunday mornings at 10AM. Some Sundays will be Morning Prayer Service and other Sundays will be Holy Eucharist. Come as you are, dress casually and comfortable. We promise you will feel at home from the moment you enter the “Red Doors”, something you will find at the entrance to every Episcopal Church. These doors represent a safe and welcoming place.
Please contact Louise McLean for any other questions @270-703-2420 or email the church @ stpetersofthelakes@gmail.com
