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!

HOUSE CHURCH GATHERINGS: JULY 5

It's a Saint Anne's summer tradition by now! (Two years in a row does make "tradition" in the Episcopal church, yes?) On July 5, in lieu of a regular worship service, we will have "House Church" gatherings at several different locations. We already have several locations lined up, but there's room for more - if you are interested in hosting, please contact Jennifer.

Why house gatherings? 

A house gathering is a chance to come together in a more personal, relaxed setting. It's an opportunity for real conversation in a smaller group. It can be a welcoming place to ask questions, share stories, and build genuine friendships. One beauty of a house church gathering is the reminder that church isn't a building or a service, it's people.

For those who simply prefer a more structured gathering, we will have Morning Prayer at Saint Anne's that day, at 9:30 as usual.

ALL PARISH MEETING: JUNE 28

Our next All Parish Meeting to share updates about projects around Saint Anne's and a quick mid-year check-in on Saint Anne's Financials will be June 28, after the outdoor service.

As an added bonus, the Peace & Justice team will also sponsor a snack-pack that day: come to hear the latest at Saint Anne's and to pack up some snacks for local kids - summers can be tough for some families, and these efforts are greatly appreciated!
