When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, . . .
St. Luke 5:8-9

Memories
St. Peter's published the first issues of News from St. Peter's in July of 2019. In honor of our 6th anniversary, I thought I would republish an article from the first issue:
On July 3, several of the ladies from St. Peter the Apostle Anglican Church enjoyed a Ladies Day Out in Abingdon, VA. We ate lunch at the Rain Restaurant and Bar in historic downtown Abingdon. After lunch we saw the play "Church Basement Ladies" at Barter Theatre II. . . . We all enjoyed and related as the ladies celebrated the good times and helped each other through the bad.
Overall a wonderful afternoon of food and fellowship!
What a fond memory of a wonderful afternoon!
