🌿Fellowship in God's Creation

Come join us for a time of fellowship, reflection, and connection with God’s beautiful creation during our December Nature Walk at the Florida Botanical Gardens. We’ll gather on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 8:00 AM, meeting at the parking lot closest to the Ulmerton Road entrance, 12520 Ulmerton Road, Largo. If you arrive at the smaller parking lot, you will have used the Walsingham Road entrance.

This month’s walk will take us through the beautiful trails and gardens of the Florida Botanical Gardens, offering peaceful moments to enjoy the plants, wildlife, and the wonder of God’s handiwork. Dogs are highly welcomed, and there is no admission fee.

As part of our ongoing series held on the first Saturday of each month (October through June), this walk is open to all — individuals, families, and friends — and is a wonderful way to grow in community, appreciate the outdoors, and start your weekend centered in God’s presence.

For monthly location details or any questions, please contact Ben Tong at 📧 benstpetefl@yahoo.com. We look forward to walking with you as we seek rest, renewal, and relationship — with each other and with God.

Start your Sunday with a quiet and reflective celebration of the Holy Eucharist (also known as Holy Communion) using Rite I, the traditional language rite from the Book of Common Prayer. If you’re not familiar with this beautiful, classic form of worship, feel free to check out page 323 in the Book of Common Prayer or simply come experience the service for yourself.

This service is typically without music and lasts about 40 minutes. We use the same scripture readings and sermon as our later service, making it a meaningful way to begin your Sunday.

All are welcome!
