Binda: In recent years, St Peter's has provided practical support and fellowship to the drought affected parish of Binda near Crookwell in New South Wales. Working parties are organised 2 or 3 times per year to undertake projects with the parishioners of Binda. The repair and painting of the Church at Markdale and the Binda church hall have been enjoyable and satisfying experiences for both parishes.

Forty Days of Community: St Peter's has completed the 40 Days of Purpose and the 40 Days of Community spiritual growth campaigns which have helped us to be more purposeful for God in our personal life and also our church life. In 2011we're doing the Mission Shaped Ministry course: 6 sessions over 3 Saturdays: 10am - 3pm on 2 April, 14 May & 11 June in the church hall.

Molongo Mission: We have a real challenge before us to meet the spiritual needs of those people moving into the new housing developments to our North. We've done some initial planning but much more attention will be needed before we're properly prepared.

CMS and Interserve Missions: The church provides on-going support to three mission families located in Paris, the Congo and Nepal.
