We are called to be Christ’s loving arms in the world

ONE SERVICE: 9:30 AM, OUTDOOR CHAPEL

During the summer months Saint Anne's moves to one service at 9:30 AM, which is a blend of our usual 8:30 and 10:30 styles. Weather permitting, we hold this service in our outdoor chapel. While we're not quite "rain or shine", we do make every effort to be outside.

If the weather is slightly cool or cloudy but not showing a high chance of rain, we'll plan to be out. If it is hot but not in a dangerous heat index, we'll be out. If it rains on Saturday night (and you'd be surprised at how often that happens!) you may want to bring a towel to sit on.

See you under the trees!

CLOTHING DRIVE STARTS THIS WEEK

This Sunday is the start of the Spring Clothing Drive at Saint Anne’s. We are collecting Spring and Summer men’s and women’s career clothes for the From Me to You Clothing Ministry. The program is for women and men returning to the workplace, entering school, or going to job interviews, helping them to have appropriate clothes to assure their success. Items needed include:

  • Spring and Summer seasonal clothing for professional workplaces,

  • Spring jackets and raincoats

  • accessories like jewelry, scarves

  • shoes and dress socks

  • purses and briefcases. 

As a gentle reminder, please be sure your clothing donations are CLEAN and in good condition when you bring them.  Items that can be hung should be brought in on hangers and hung in the coat room off the parish hall.

PENTECOST IS THIS SUNDAY!

Pentecost Sunday is May 24th - AND our first outdoor service of the season. We have a few fun Pentecost traditions at Saint Anne's:

  • Wear red!

  • We'll have a festive coffee hour following our service - bring a red food to share! 

  • It is Saint Anne's tradition to read the Gospel in many different languages all at once on Pentecost Sunday - giving us a taste of what that first Pentecost may have been like. If you can read aloud in any other language - Spanish? French? German? Filipino? Latin? Elvish? - please email Jennifer and she'll send you the reading in your preferred language. NOTE: You'll be reading at the same time as many others, and no one will even hear your pronunciation. If you'd like to participate, but are not able to read in a language other than English, we also have various English translations available.
