All of the events celebrating Black History Month are offered to the glory of God and in thanksgiving for the rich history, often neglected, of our African-American community. St. Peter’s Episcopal Church strives to be a Christian community that embraces all of God’s children, and that especially honors and deepens our relationships with fellow Christians of all races.
