Experience a unique piece of American history during this special colonial-era worship service at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. Modeled after a church service that could have been held on July 4, 1776, this commemorative gathering offers visitors the opportunity to step back into the spiritual life of colonial America.

The service will follow the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the primary worship text used throughout much of the colonial period, and will feature music inspired by the traditions and sounds of the 18th century. Together, the prayers, readings, and music create an authentic and meaningful glimpse into how early Americans worshiped during the nation's founding era.

As Lewes continues its America 250 commemoration, this special service provides an opportunity to reflect on the role faith, community, and tradition played in the lives of those who lived through the birth of the United States.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, a member of the faith community, or simply curious about the traditions of the past, all are welcome to attend this memorable and inspiring experience.
