Welcome to St. Peter’s Anglican Church

The Liturgy exists for the purpose of worship, not for the comfort or edification of the faithful; we do not therefore take part in it for any personal gain, but to make the most perfect offering to God of which man is capable. And if we take our Communion and receive Him who is our perfect joy, still it is not for our own benefit, but that we may be more wholly given to God in union with Him. — Frederic Harton

The Nature of Anglican Worship

Fr. Jason Patterson

This is a succinct description of the uniqueness of Anglican worship as found in the traditional Prayer Books.  15 minutes long.  Well worth our time to be reminded of the great difference between man-centered and God-centered worship; worship as an end in itself, not a means to anything else.
