St Peters Anglican Church History
The Stained Glass Windows
Every window in St Peter’s is stained glass, mostly depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The “tripartite” East window was installed in the new church in 1924 as a memorial to the 19 men of the parish who were killed in the first World War (1914-18). The left hand window depicts St Peter. The 18 stained glass windows in the body of the church were installed as memorials from 1950s to 1970s. The porch window, installed in 1998 at the Centenary of St Peter’s, depicts the commissioning of St Peter by Jesus to be the leader of the early Christian Church. Further information on the windows is available in a pamphlet.
In 2004 new coverings for the main windows and those along the east side of St Peter’s were installed.

Light of the World
Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth... may we begin to see the world in the light of understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Amen.
