St. Peter's of the Lakes Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Peter's of the Lakes Episcopal Church in Gilbertsville holds worship on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. The format depends on the week: Holy Eucharist is celebrated on Sundays when a visiting supply priest is scheduled, while lay readers lead Morning Prayer on the other Sundays. The parish does not currently have a full- or part-time priest and posts the rotation on its worship schedule page, where visitors should confirm details. Coffee, snacks and fellowship follow the service each week, and the church invites people to come as they are.

The church sits on Black River Road about a block off Highway 641, near Kentucky Dam State Park, and draws people from around the Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley area. Its outreach centers on a Blessings Box in the lighted parking lot, stocked with nonperishable food and hygiene items, along with a Little Free Library holding books for all ages. A wheelchair-accessible labyrinth of stone dust and brick beside the memorial garden is open to the public for prayer and reflection. Inspiration Hall, with a full kitchen and deck, can be rented for gatherings of up to 100, and the property also operates a retreat center. Several AA and NA groups meet on site during the week. There are no set office hours; volunteers answer phone and email messages.
