Liturgy
All regular services are based on A Prayer Book for Australia 1995. A sense of tradition is maintained by the forms of liturgy and the wearing of vestments. Many lay ministers take leading roles in our formal liturgies.
Besides the regular services of Holy Communion (times listed elsewhere), the sacraments of Holy Baptism (Christening), Marriage, Confession, are arranged by appointment.

Sunday Kids
The Sunday Kids meet at the back of the church, ready to process up the aisle into the Community Centre for their activities. Ages 4 and a half to 12 years are all welcome, and the children will return to the service in time for Holy Communion.
Sunday Kids meet during term time.

Thursday Morning Fellowhship
The Thursday Eucharist at 10am in the chapel is attended by some 15-25 people, who worship together and then enjoy morning tea. It is a great fellowship time for those who can attend, every week or just occasionally.

Pastoral Care
There are different ways for people to care for others. Some Glenelg parishioners are able to visit the house-bound, taking Home Communion to those who are unable to come to church. Others assist at local Nursing Homes where our clergy conduct regular Anglican Services and others are involved in the COMMUNITY VISITORS SCHEME visiting one-on-one in local Aged Care Facilities..

Music
We enjoy the music of the St Peter's Choir at most 10am Sunday services. On the second Sunday of each month, we hold a Family Worship Service, called JAM (Just Add Music!) with the great sound of our JAM Band and Singers. New members are always sought for either the Choir or the JAM group. The Choir practises from 9am each Sunday, before the service. The JAM music group would love to talk to anyone who may be interested in contributing by playing an instrument or singing. Come along on the Second Sunday to enquire.

Church Minders
This group of people are rostered to spend an afternoon in beautiful St Peter's Church so that it can be kept open to the public. There are many visitors to Glenelg who like to view the Church or spend a quiet time. This is a most valuable ministry and we are always looking for more people to share its important ministry.

Ministry of Volunteers
In the various aspects of parish life there are many opportunities for volunteers to be involved. Some take leading roles in pastoral care, others are valued members of the administration team who give time in the parish office. Many are involved in aspects of Sunday worship.
