                                                                   ROGATION SUNDAY-June 5, 2011
                                                          "For the Blessing of Seeds, Crops and the Land"

                   White wooden crosses made by parishioner Tom McKinney were used to note the boundaries of the church's property. 
            Following service, members gathered outside and took turns placing the crosses.  This ancient custom called "Beating the Bounds"
        reminds us that we are in some way responsible to God for the plants, animals, land and the people inside the boundaries of the crosses. 

                         Smaller white crosses, made and distributed by the children of St. Peter's were taken  home by parishioners and
                  placed in gardens and flowerpots to remind us daily of God's bounty and our responsiility to stewardship of the earth.
